Both #1 and #2 have that emphasis on lean but not really in the way I would expect. When you look at Lean Cuisine, the lean is emphasizes both in lettering being different and in the way that the lettering reflects the concept of lean - meaning thin. Neither of these lettering do that.

#1 look like it cooking oriented and its too old fashioned. #2 looks like its all about cleaning. To see pictures of me go to: http://creative-entity.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/yogahead_i.jpg or http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff211/summmatime/Carolyn%20Barnes/headshots/

I am a comedic actress who is a bit on the snarky side. The vibe should be fun and funny but also athletic. The figure - if included - should reflect athletic and in shape. So no dresses. No scarves. Nothing frumpy.

Thanks and keep it coming!

I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem but the http addresses you gave aren't working for me.

Sorry about that photobucket problem. It was a private folder and I made it public so this should work now. A few headshots are at: http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff211/summmatime/Carolyn%20Barnes/headshots/ I will try to post more that are in line with this project.

I may or may not include the tagline: clean, lean, green, and serene so I am looking at how that is working. Serene alone is definitely wrong. The whole message I am trying to convey with the program is that if mom's get off their tushes and pump up their housecleaning to a full exercise program they will have a clean house and a fit body and that will bring them mental peace. The actual program is quite energetic.

As far as the new postings go #7 and #8 are definitely not along the lines that I am thinking. So thanks but that direction is not worth pursuing. #4, 5 and 6 are closer to what I was thinking of but the stock pictures are probably throwing me off because they have nothing to do with house cleaning. They are too much about poised exercise poses and there is nothing in my program remotely like yoga postures. And I can't say I care for the lettering. I am going to show all of these to some friends to see if I can do a better job of conveying the thought here. But overall think Rachael Ray but snarkier. The idea is to have a fun, quirky personality presenting an program designed to combine common household chores with exercise routines. So the idea is to up the energy and multi-task effectively. Any final figure should reflect my own persona so if we get a direction going that works I would expect a hairdo more like my own and on the reddish side.

Keeps the ideas flowing. And thank you so much for your efforts.

I took a stab at ranking based on what I have seen so far. I like #1 over #2 because the figure is more attractive; albeit, she is wearing slippers and not sneakers. I like the lettering of #2 over #1 because it is more stylized and fun. Overall #1 and #2 are more in line of what I was thinking but having looked through this site overall I am beginning to recognize the value of more abstract and simpler logos. So for that reason I like the simplicity of #5 and #6 so iterations in that direction or even a silohetted figure might work too.

really add a fit red head character working out with tide bottles, or a broom and plie? i like the lean part of clean thin and the momma, funny and quircky and fatter.
keep them commin' they are so great so far~!

also like # 15 if she work working out while vacuuming! :)

Haven't done a public comment in the last several days and I felt its time so that any new contributors can understand the logic of what is up there.

#39 is currently ranked the highest because the character is fun and funky and the exercise component is clear and its fun as to how its integrated into the lettering. There is some feedback I am getting that the character is not as clear as some of the competitive entries.

#34, 36, and 38: Still liking these a lot.
#33, 32 and 21: Probably should get rid of #32 because 33 is better. A lot of people like the playful use of the cord. The imagery of 21 is better than 33 but 33 is much easier to see and recognize.
#30 by crazybird: Still the first one to get the concept overall. Am interested in seeing if there are any other ideas from this artist.
#12: There is something extremely appealing about the simplicity of this more abstract logo and the horizontal lettering. It doesn't convey the exercizing component of my program but I want to keep it in the mix as it is a very clean logo and the lettering is nice.

No one has done anything more abstract and while we are definitely seeing designs that are better and better I still think there is room for someone to simply hit the nail on the head.

Finally, we are still playing with the tagline a bit. I am assuming that we can come up with a final tweak to that in another day or so.

also really like #49. i like her stepping on the "M" could you play around with the blue there as well and make the Lean in peppy blue and the "C" and Momma in black?
Thanks!

Moderators/Designers please refer to https://logotournament.com/forum/designer_discussion/831 this matter has been dealt with, if you need a larger gap between design and border just say so,

Thanks
