Here is my initial logo for your consideration. I wanted to create something that could easily be stamped/engraved onto furniture and other items, so I made a much more simpler logo than those you have so far. I wanted to give it a woodworking feel, as well as an old style Amish aesthetic. Let me know if this is going in the right direction, or if you wish to see any variations on this concept & I will be happy to provide them.
Thank you for your submission! I liked the idea of the wood stamp. I currently put stickers on all of our furniture and #9 is not bad. I would like to see different variations of this design. I would change the trees because the pine is not sold in our store. We use hardwoods, ex. oak, maple, and cherry. The wood background looks like snow for some reason. Maybe it's just me. As for the old style aesthetic, I don't like it because that is the style of our old logo had since 1988.
Here is a revised version of the brand/stamp logo I came up with. I removed the trees and rather than add some of the hardwoods you mentioned, I decided to leave them out altogether so as to not make it seem like you only work with one specific material. Instead, I incorporated a hat using the same 2 colors as the rest of the logo. Keeping the logo limited to two colors will make it visually stronger, as well as make reproduction of it in various formats easier and more affordable for you.
Feel free to provide feedback on this one as well, if you like what you see. Thanks again for your consideration.
I agree that the hardwood trees should be left out. I wouldn't want to paint myself into a corner by only having one type of tree in the logo. Good thinking! The hat is not a bad idea but I wanted to convey a message of "handcrafted" somewhere in the logo. Can you put a picture of something in the logo to convey that? The colors are not something I like in this logo. I think the woodgrain is throwing it off or maybe the border is a little too much. I would like to see some different borders and rotating colors in the logo. Thanks for your efforts!
