First Crush Restaurant and Wine BarLogo Design Contest

Hi there. This is my take on your logo.
I welcome all your feedback and comments.

Thanks,
Ted

I love the font. I like the silhouette of the grape but maybe remove the circle around it. Is there a way to make the grape more abstract or splashed with wine?

Thanks for the prompt feedback. I'd love to post some revisions but at this stage of the contest only the first 5 ranked designers may do so. Can you re-rank me temporarily so I can submit my entries?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
-Ted

Thank you. Please take a look at #123, #124 & #125.

Let me know if you have any additional comments or requests.

Best,

#114 Can you make the circle bleed in the background? I like the way it pronounces itself but it needs a little more depth and is part of the background to the name First Crush (making the name inclusive to the picture)

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking for. May I ask you to clarify?
Thanks again.

A faded look behind the font to the picture on #114. It is too pronounced and needs to be more organic and combined with the C in crush.

#125 and #114. I like the way you are taking the graphic in #125 and I like the color and font of #114. I would prefer to move away from the pink and more toward a lavender/elegant/purple.

Thanks for the follow up.
Please take a look at #138 & #140. Looking forward to your thoughts.
