Cindy's PizzaLogo Design Contest

Logo Concept for Cindy's Pizza

I am seeking a logo design for my brand, Cindy's Pizza, which represents a range of food products including sauces, cheesecakes, spice packets, dough balls, and pizzas.

The focus should be on the word "Cindy's" — it should be the dominant and most visually important part of the logo. The word "Pizza" should be understated and secondary, downplayed, smaller and under the logo

Important design notes:

No imagery related to pizza (no pizza slices, forks, plates, etc.).

Style inspiration: I am drawn to Mid-Century Modern and Art Deco styles — clean, crisp, elegant lines with a timeless, upscale feel.

No cartoonish, chunky, or playful styles — it must feel refined and professional.

Semi-simple design — clean and uncluttered, not overly busy.

Versatile — it should look great across various products and on different background colors.

Color — the color palette should be flexible enough to work well on different label backgrounds and materials.

The goal is to create a timeless, cohesive logo that will grow with the brand as it expands into additional product lines.

I have picked gold previously but the advice was that gold would not show up on a white background. the suggestion was to outline a logo it so it would stand out. I would like to stay away from Italian look. I am open to suggestions. I don't like purple.

I would like to see with and without simple embellishment around the logo. I like elegant script but clear enough it's read easily
