Hi there,

Hope your having a good week so far?

Here are some of my concepts. I've gone for something that's fairly clean and simple, yet striking. Creating an icon that works well within the logo or as a stand alone element, one that can be used for things like favicons or watermarks.

With #124 and #125, I went with something a bit different ... You mention that you turn the information into "stories", so with these the icon is a combination of lines of text with a bookmark ... Every good story needs a bookmark, and in this case its literally Anne Folan & Associates - here to help you.

The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed.

It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say.
I look forward to your comments or thoughts.

Regards,
Angus

Hi, Angus! Thanks so much for your entries. I really appreciate the thought and creativity that have gone into them. I am not sure about the bookmark, though. I get the concept behind it, but I think, for someone coming at it cold, it looks like a flag or a pennant. If you have to think about it for even a split second, the impact is lost, and as I thought about "OK, well, what if we just make sure it's instantly recognizable as a bookmark?" I realized that even then, the connection is too attenuated. It might work for a library or for an initiative to promote literacy, but my clientele would just not "get it."

With the fountain pen nib, I think we are closer but that, too, could be mistaken for a coronet . . . the last thing I want to be mistaken for (or to be) is arrogant.

I like the way you think though . . . could you take another crack at it, along more stylized/less literal lines?

Thanks so much again.

All the best,
Anne

Hi Anne,

Thanks for the feedback and comments, always appreciated!
And completely understand your reasoning.

Here is a slightly different approach; #127
Its an "a" and "F" combination, where the "F" is actually in the negative white space between the left and top black lines and the red "a".

Look forward to your thoughts.

Cheers
