Thanks for the help guys, I do appreciate the feedback. I have a general idea of what I am going for now.

One last thing to mention is that I plan on getting many photos of the clocks/other work I have done in natural settings (extraordinary places). Like Seb mentioned they tend to get swallowed up in a home setting. Using the Vista I can feature the clock up close and still have a expanse in the background. I cannot do that in a living room or kitchen setting.

I have a road trip planned to Phoenix in October so I am hoping to get some cool desert shots as well. I will build a collection over time.

Thanks for the input, will it may seem unproductive it was very good on my end.

Cheers!

I think that your typeface on the more recent rendering is a big improvement. Your clocks are very much about simple, elegant shapes, so it makes sense to have type that sort of reflects that, but without distracting from the images.

The one thing I noticed with all your pictures is that I had no idea how big the clock actually is. Being in that setting, to me the clock looks massive and I'd need a truck to get it home.

Have you tried your tagline in the top black bar and then your new logo/name/website in the bottom bar?

You know its too bad that there are copy right issues because with your tag line it would be awesome to have your clocks put into scenes in famous movies.

Vader and Tarkin glowering on the death star with one of your clocks on the wall behind him.

In Gladiator having a clock in the throne room.

Legends of the fall having a clock on the mantel.

I just think its a concept that would sell itself.

Ralphy opening up his christmas gift and its one of your clocks.

Without context I can see that would be a concern, however in this particular case the poster will be mounted on the wall beside the actual clocks in the store. So that should kill any questions about overall size.

The new logo I am working on is just a simple set of white linear bubbles. I felt in this particular case that the bubbles would become distracting (given that the focus of the clock is bubbles as well). I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.

Perhaps the tag line in the top bar and the icons in the lower bar?

I wanted to add the icons instead of just the website because I feel that is important to be represented on many platforms. As the web becomes more divided into specialized apps I want people to know the can find my content on their favorite media.

If you want to use the app icons, make them small and put them under your company name - no need for big logos.
