Curb Side CasserolesLogo Design Contest

Oh wow! That is SO COOL seeing it like this!!! It looks "so professional"! Thank you DonCorvair! Comments from the owner..."might be a little hard to read the 'Curb Side' words from the street when using this in outdoor signage"...would love to see "Curb Side" stand out a little more than "Casseroles"..maybe just by lightening the font on "Casseroles"....

Also, after thinking about it more....probably don't want to have the "Drive Thru....tagline included in the actual logo design.

What an EXCITING FIRST ENTRY!!!! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll continue to work on variations when I get back to my design computer later on tonight. One question I had, I looked at the website & saw the sign on the building, is the new logo to
fit the size (h x w) ratio of the existing sign?

Good question...let me get back to you. First response is no....because we love that sign...I made it actually! But, it would make "branding sense" to have all images be the same...

Let me talk to owner!

Hey DonCorvair! Just talked to my boss and she likes the "weathered" treatment you gave your "Quite a Pear" logo and wonders if you could work that into another entry for us? And as far as fitting the new logo into the size ratio of the sign over the door...would not worry about that... again...that was just a sign I made...I think it's more important to have a design that fits more applications...whether it's letterhead, menu cover, t-shirts, thank you notes, business cards! Statistically, are more logos "symmetrical"...like would they fit in a 3"X3" square or a circle?

BTW...this is just about the "funnest" thing we've been involved in in ages! Thanks a bundle!

Thanks for the info. - I'll work on a design using the weathered look.
Looking at your site, the restaurant looks like a great little place, very unique.

Morning DonCorvair! Love #7 myself...but I am waiting to hear from my owner...since she's the one "holding the purse-strings"!!! I can really see #7 carved into a wooden sign! It fits our style nicely! Thank you for your hard work....Curb Side

Thanks for the compliment, I hope the owner like it too! :)

Hey DonCorvair!!! Just got off phone with owner and she LOVES #8 too! We talked about a couple of things re: design!

We would love to see a font that is half way between #7 and #8 as it relates to the BOLDNESS! (hard to describe!)

We love orange too! Is there anywhere you could sneak it in?

We really like the shape of the logo...we can see it at the top of our menu cards...our business cards....a t-shirt...a hat...carved into a big block of wood...but it brought up a question... can a logo with that "weathered" look be achieved if we ever want to embroider a hat? Printing seems like only way to get that look....

please enlighten!!!! Thank you for staying with me while we were MIA yesterday!

Thanks for the ranking & feedback, I will work on a design with a medium weight font & I'll get some orange into the design. As far as embroidering, I believe that with today's technology, embroidering can achieve very detailed designs, but you might want to check with an embroiderer. I can definitely provide an
alternate design without the weathered look for certain applications.
I'll get to work on the revised design asap.
Don

Thanks Don! This is so exciting!!! Can't wait to see more...and that's a great idea...maybe just have one that is not weathered for an embroidered application. ~ CurbGirlLiz

#24 - Here is the revised design, let me know if you would like to see it without the weathered
look for comparison.
Thanks,
Don

Hey Don...if you have time to look at some of the interior kitchen photos on our website...the "guacamole" color that is one of our four "signature" colors is on the walls of our kitchen! "Guacamole" is so "relative"....

Sure thing, I'll take a look right now.
Would you prefer the guacamole color over turquoise?

LOVE, LoVe, love that "Curb Side" font...a little too weathered for my taste... sorry to say that the orange "right there" for some reason didn't "fit" to me...

just throwing this out there....because I like your stuff...and your willingness to keep trying!!!... My owner has mentioned a few times that she would like to see a "wooden spoon" (her favorite kitchen tool!) used in a design...what do you think??? Also, maybe I'm partial...but I also like the TRIO of kitchen tools we used in the sign that hangs above our entrance...as seen in our "avatar"....

Thank you for your shared enthusiasm....

also...preferring the lighter background to the darker....and if there is a "medium weathering" button (I sound so technical!)...

Look out now...#29 and #30 are kinda cool with the wooden spoon... I can't wait for owner to see this... can the wooden spoon be lighter brown and maybe the turquoise be worked back in...

OML...I have to get other work done today....trying to buy a house too...currently "homeless"...but I am finding myself ADDICTED to this logotournament site... AHHHHHHH.....

I'll post some revisions asap.
Good luck with the house!

Thanks Don!

Cool Don! Would like to see #26 with a little "fill in" in the background....

me likey tho....

Hey Don! When you get a chance, just heard from our owner (she's been MIA most of day with busy stuff of her own!)... she still likes #24...but would like to see the wooden spoon with that one...could you put a little darker outline around spoon to make it stand out a little more....

and then maybe with the trio of utensils from #54....I still like that one....

Thanks...Liz

No problem Liz,
Here are the latest... #58 & #59
Let me know,
Thanks,
Don

Well, you made that real easy!

I LOVE #59!!!!!!

But, I think "boss lady" is gonna' like #58!

I'll have to get her to take a look at them tomorrow!!

More comments tomorrow! Thanks and good night! Liz AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!

Hey Don! Had a chance to stop by work today...they were busy cooking Beouf Bourguinnon and OMW it smelled so good in there...I wish I could package it...

anywhose....she was a little busy...so I don't feel like I got the best response from her...so I want more time with her tomorrow when she's under less stress...but....

Most of the girls liked #59...but our owner (MBW) doesn't really love the lines in the background. Can you make one for her to see that has a background more like #7?

She made the comment that she "couldn't see that logo on a hat"....I told her that if she wanted we could just use the "Curb Side" words...and that made her happy....I've got to put my "sales" hat on tho.....I'll let you know!

Thanks a ton...Liz

Thanks for the update Liz,
Please remember that I can send alternate files after the contest ends
for use on different applications such as hats, shirts, signs etc.
Have a Great Night!
Don

Here is the version without the lines... #61

Cool Beans! U R the bomb!

Hey Don! We are about to tie this up I believe! We are trying to choose between #62 and #63....but we want to see what the logo will look like if everything but the utensils and the "casserole banner" are weathered. We think the orange banner is a little hard to read with the weathering.

Getting excited!!!!

liz

Great, I'll be back at my design computer in about 1 hour, I'll submit the latest version asap.
Thanks,
Don

Hi Liz,
Here are a couple revised designs...
on #66, I have everything but the banner & utensils weathered as you requested.
on #67, I only have the background oval with the weathered effect, I brought
the "Curb Side" letters forward.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Don

I can't take it! Too hard to decide!

Deciding between 67, 63, 62, and 66. Will share with our owner tomorrow and let her decide.

Thank you so much Don!

We'll be in touch tomorrow...Liz
