Hi, here's my first entry for your consideration. It's a simple representation of the reaction when a chemical bond is made between two hearts. Thanks!
Here's my second entry, signifying love as a fluid, a chemical compound -- not literally in a flask or beaker, but represented as both the chemical and the container. Thanks!
Here's another abstract submission, including a flame shape to represent heat / chemical reaction / energy that also resembles a C for Chemistry, enveloping two overlapping hearts. Thanks! Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Hi, and thanks for your feedback! I love running into a contest holder that actually appreciates a clever logo -- it's too rare. I thought you'd appreciate seeing a few different effects treatments -- similar to OKcupid -- so you could see how the logo would look dressed up or on different backgrounds. I personally appreciate the simplicity of #19 (and even flat colors, as opposed to gradients), but while a good logo should communicate well in its most naked state (e.g., one color), it's nice to know what they look like with a little flair added. I'm happy to tweak this if you think it needs it, and I'll definitely continue to brainstorm additional ideas. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see. Many thanks!
One more thing on this logo - can you try a more 3-dimensional version of it? I'd like to see something a little more bulbous, for lack of a better word. I want to make sure the logo stays fresh, and I'm concerned it might start looking a little flat after a while.
I've created a couple of versions with effects for your review. But I wanted to also show you the logo in one color. It's essential for a logo to communicate in one color, and this one does that. #58 shows you the logo in black on a white background.
Think of #58 as the naked logo, and then you can dress it up however you want (or need) depending on the medium (e.g., digital, print, embroidery, engraving, etc.). So if you needed to engrave the logo, you'd use the one-color version. If you need to screen print it, you'd probably want a two-color version, like entry #62. For the web, you could use something like entry #19, but you might also want something with a little more bling, like entry #59. Entry #61 is the same as entry #59, but it shows how the background the image is on can play into the effects of the logo itself.
If you think entry #59 doesn't have enough bling, I can keep working. I'd love to have your feedback on what I've uploaded so far.
Oh! And one more thing. I want to point out that the image compression on LogoTournament does some funny things with reds -- they tend to get more pixilated than blues or greens.
We aim to please! Here are some variations showing some different effects, color schemes, and even a simplification of the logo (reducing the number of measure lines). Thanks!
