Thank you!

Darker tagline than #243

It is a darker versions of the tagline from my previous entry.
Thank you.

crazy I looked up this West African sign before I left today. I guess it was meant to be! Can you just send with the darker tag line at the bottom so I can compare. It been a pleasure working with you.

If you search transformation symbol, you'll find "Sesa Wo Suban" symbol.
It is a morning star and sparkling around it.
Thank you.

I will reseach some symbols and send to you in 8 hours

Hey! Are you sending some other ideas without butterfly something not so girly

The prize of the contest won't be released until you're happy with the final file and press the approve button.

But most of the time you still be able to contact to ask some changes on the logo, even if you have approve the final files.
Thank you.

I was not going to look today, but could not help myself. lolo. I would like to pick your logo today or tomorrow. Once I pick winner does that mean no more changes? Also what other type of work do you do? My email is amoodie@hotmail.ca.

Hey! I am totally sold on the font, and most ppl voted on this logo. Some comments I have been getting is I am not a butterfly person. (which I am not) I like the circle leave logo also, however i believe your not aloud to combine logos? If that the case could I see another symbol same colour, same size not as girly.

Well, thank you for sharing the article.

This is why I prefer to use my own handwriting to create a brand. Because it is timeless and make it stand out and not get confused with another brand.

About the sharp edges, you'll notice that I already edited the corner of the edges like in "A" for example, there are always a smooth "rounded" edges.

And about the "A" to be shorter as your suggestions, it is actually intentionally made to have a longer shape to anticipate of using a tagline. If we add a tagline, the layout will be blended perfectly with the main logo. And when we remove the tagline, the leg of the "A" still have a dynamic balance visually with the top of the "A" letter.

And what is the unique point of this concept? It is the hidden message on the "A" that look like a star. So, if you have to make an icon for application or social media profile for example, it could be easily recognised by this single "A" and butterfly on top of it.

Thank you.

12 Principles of Great Brand Design

John Rampton , CONTRIBUTOR


Branding is something you should be focusing on even in your startup days. It’s much easier (and more cost effective), to get your brand design right the first time, rather than fix it later. However, this can be tough to focus on when you’re just starting out.

Keep these dozen tips in mind to stay on track, make the right branding moves, and ensure your company shows off its best self from day one:

Stay classic

Classic doesn’t mean boring and it certainly doesn’t mean old school or stodgy. It does, however, mean foregoing trends in many area's such as in favor of traditional fonts, colors with staying power (such as neutrals or primary colors), and being able to see the branding lasting for decades. That’s the goal, right?

Mint Design

Match the branding to the company

This seems obvious, but everyone has seen a logo that just doesn’t align with what the company does. Let your mission statement and business plan lead the way. If your company is a trampoline business in the ocean off Hawaii, make sure that excitement shows through in the branding.

Make sure it can’t be confused with other businesses

Sometimes this is unintentional, and other times companies try to ride the coattails of other, existing companies. Get multiple opinions and make sure your branding can’t be easily confused with another company’s.


Ensure it works on multiple platforms
Is your branding and logo going to work in print, on smartphones, on billboards and in low quality newspapers? It needs to have mass appeal and be clear enough to not get “lost,” regardless of platform.

Stick to no more than two colors
Black and white don’t count, but beyond them only go for one or two additional colors. Anything else is overkill, and you’ll be paying a premium when printers (such as t-shirt screeners), charge by the color.


Less is more
This goes for font choice, color, actual number of lines and everything else. Take a look at the branding from some of the largest companies such as Subway, Starbucks or Chipotle. They’re actually minimal, easy to recognize, and clean.

Remember the name is for life
One of the most exciting, yet frustrating things about starting a business is choosing the name. Don’t get swept up in trends, such as opening a breakfast joint called “Hashtag.” Instead, go with something easy to say, spell, and remember.


If you’re including a motto regularly in your branding, such as McDonald’s, “I’m loving it,” the less is more principle also applies. Sometimes it’s necessary in order to make it clear what your company does, or simply to wriggle into the heads of consumers. If you do so, keep it short.

I been doing some research, do you think we need to make A softer or does the butterfly do that


10. Steer clear of sharp edges

The lines of your branding should almost always be a little softer and smoother. If you go with sharp lines and edges, such as the “W” in Wendy’s, it can look outdated, unwelcoming, and overly formal.

No problem.
Have a nice weekend.
Thank you.

This is my number 1 choice, however i am going to take tomorrow off and pick winner on Monday Night. Thanks so much for making so many changes.

The tagline on this one doesn't obscure the main wording of the logo.

so we agree

This one better in my opinion. #239

which one do i have it selected

Well, i prefer this style of font for the tagline, considering the "MOODIE" already has the strong font, so this contrast could get more balance.

I also increase more space between "n" and "i" to get more like "ni" and not "m" than my previous entry.

Which do you feel flows best for tagline in terms of font.

i realised that entry #223 has soft style tagline, but perhaps too thick.
So here is the revisions.
And the tail of the "a" is too long, so here is the shorten options to get more balance on the left and right alignment.
Thanks

thanks

I edited the dot as also the cross of the "t", so it wont b confused as "m", instead of "ni". Because the dot is more legible.

And I add the length of the butterfly wings to get more whimsy and feminine.
Thank you.

Well, I agree with you, although it is not a bad choice either.
Please find my latest revisions..
Thank you.

hmm not sure that font flows

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on the font style of the tagline.
I have tried hand writing style, but it seem too complex. So, I decided light sans serif font.
Thank you.

Can you write Personal Growth Coach under name.

Well, this is just an option for you to cosider, where the butterfly is placed to counter balance the weight of the "A".
Thanks.

Please let me know if I made it to the wrong direction.
Thanks.

Yes, sure.
Thank you.

Can you turn the butterfly the other way and move the left where the curve on the T is

Yes, sure.
Please find my latest update for those variations. Thank you.

and if its not to much trouble can I also see a blue dragon fly

can i still see a more detailed butter fly please

Right. Thank you.
Please find my latest revisions. I keep the butterfly around the "dot" of the "i", so it will be less complex.
Thank you.

lets get a more detail butterfly please but heading in right direction

Well, considering it's already a complex handwriting, how about a little touch of butterfly (metamorphosis).
Thank you.

Can you add something to the logo. Looking for something that symbolizes re-birth.

i like the font add something to show growth and change to it please

oh that right sorry, lets try something with the A

Well at this blind stage, we can't see another entry at the contest.
But thank you for your suggestions.

I like this, could we add a little something to it. You can see my second choice right. what about doing something with the A. to make it pop its plain but clean I like
