Glass Door SalonLogo Design Contest

Tending to stay away from your logotype not looking like a window cleaning service.
Entries #31 / #32

Feedback is more than welcome.

And I appreciate that! These are great! Would it be possible to add some kind of softness to #33? I LOVE the use of the scissors for the A! I'm also impressed with #31! Could something in the g/d symbol represent hair? Not to intrude on your creativity, but what would happen if the right side of the 'd' left the silhouette of a bobbed hairstyle or … something?

Good morning to you!
Of course! Greatly appreciate the feedback and great ranking!

Here are some variants
#48 using the part of the letter g as a woman's bangs
#49 - #50 - #51
and a softer typeface #52

49 and 50 don't grip me in the same way, perhaps a lack of relevance? (Though I'd LOVE the nest in other areas of my life!)

What I like about #48 is the way you've put SALON on top. Has nice balance. Wouldn't likely opt for the red lips, but, again, I like the way you're trying to reflect a hairstyle in this. Keep going with that! Something about the "R" in 52, but otherwise I like how delicate it is. Is there a way to make the scissors more delicate as well?

You're doing a wonderful job!!

Understood!
Will have updates for ya asap!
Again, appreciate the fantastic feedback.

Bolder update #78

Worked the letter R #79

While I LOVED your use of scissors in my logo, my patent attorney is advising against it because it'd be hard to defend if someone else tried to do a knock off given that it's such fair game in our industry. *sigh* #31 has great potential for its simplicity. With that information, did you have any other ideas? I wish I knew what to tell you to inspire you because you obviously have great potential!

Good morning to ya!
Will try to see some other concepts.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback. The top 5 phase is soon here and if you have me in the top 5 i can try some new concepts.

Kind regards
Deux

You are in my top five!

Okay, Deux, let's do this! You're in my top five.

We're scrapping scissors altogether *sniff sniff*.

To me, #31 is your strongest and easiest for me to defend. Would love to see you move away from this original image and perhaps think in UPPERCASE now.

Was there anything you were already working on? What do you think?

Thanks!

Or stick with lowercase, but separate them? Or just uppercase the "D"?

My goodness there are a LOT of businesses out there with these initials and I REALLY want to stay away from infringing!

This use of the "g" intrigues me: https://roxsticksflowers.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/square-gd-logo.jpg

On it...and always on the unique side of things!

Here are a few new designs for you #166 / #167 / #168 / #169 and #170

How could I ever decide? I like that #169 is a very memorable image, and strong. The image in #167 appeals to me, but... I just can't put my finger on it... I think it's the font for the name. Thinking thinner/caps. But I'm certainly no expert.

All in all, this changed my game this morning!

Will do ;)

I figured out what I couldn't put my finger on. The new "gd" is so cute, like a peach, that the name needs to balance as more... Adult.

Probably not helpful.

All feedback is helpfull!
Much appreciated.
New #176 / #177 / #178 / #179

LOVE LOVE LOVE #175.

Thank you.

Hopefully my last request: Using #175, could we see the symbol with some kind of backdrop, be it a solid circle, a few paint brush strokes (*favored), a haze of some sort, etc.

Reason being, if we eventually drop the name to utilize the symbol, it'd be nice if it had more… surface.

So excited!

Something in these lines #180 / #181

And #182 / #183 / #184 / #185 / #186

I love #183's brush strokes. Now if similar strokes made an obscure blob and the symbol was stamped on top, how would that look?

Thank you so much for working with me. Must've been a good cup of coffee!

Lets find out, shall we!?
Uploading asap

#187

Okay, you've been amazing today. Thank you!

Now that I see it in "the blob," the symbol is harder to make out, right? So if we had some sketchy (likely diagonal) brushstrokes like this (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TEbyFOPKZj0/R0etS0SKT5I/AAAAAAAAAPY/N3aImDsMr8o/s400/Namaste.jpg), and then put the (same color brown as #183) image on top of that for contrast, would that be lovely?

How can i say no when you call me amazing ;)
Here ya go #188

Oh, I'm sure you're amazing.

And I am also sure I didn't communicate well.

Liking the overall direction of the brushstrokes in #188.

Would love if they looked as natural/raw as your strokes in #183.

Would like the strokes to be soft/light in tone like #183 (or lighter… AND/OR feel free to tinker with color in the strokes… we often have orchids in our salon just like this one: http://www.briggsgarden.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/orchid-magenta.jpg), also allowing the paint (it looks like paint to you, but to us it's chemical haircolor) similar gaps (as if the paintbrush didn't have enough paint on it, too dry, etc… gappy paint: http://static7.depositphotos.com/1037178/718/v/950/depositphotos_7184695-Stylish-Brush-Strokes.jpg) with the *symbol* in the same dark brown as #183 smack on top of said brush strokes.

Again, it's just to provide a little surface, tiny backdrop, tad bit of contrast, etc for the more exciting thing - your symbol - that will extend beyond the two or three lazy strokes.

How'd I do this time?

eeeeeeeexcelent!

Good morning!

Coffee...
Cigarette...

Eek! Five hours! Hoping you have time for that last stretch. This has been a wild ride on my end.

eeeeeek! lol! will be uploaded within a few hours.... have some buisness to atend to. No rush... we still have the judging phase of the contest

Sorry about the slight delay, but sometimes friends in need are above work.
Here is one alteration #198.

Working on one more..... and more if needed
Michael

This does look nice! #199

And color #200

Thanks for humoring me yet again. That touch of blush is really pretty, huh? At this point, I've just got to make a list of objective criteria to compare these to and be sure our logo is hitting as many as possible. Will keep you informed!

I'm not sure that I completely understand these final days of judging. Am I permitted to request any last adjustments?

I'm back and forth between a horizontal logo like #170 (I just prefer the #183 font and color differences) and what I already like in 1st and 2nd place.

#184 might be passing #183 because it's a touch more refined.

If it's not breaking any rules, could you make a horizontal layout of #183 and #184 with and without the circles?

Or is this something I'll have to tinker with myself since we're in the judging phase?

I haven't felt this nervous for commitment since my wedding day!

`Sure can. This is just normal.

And upon picking me as the winner, the design you pick will be uploaded with both variants...
horizontal and vertical.

Michael

As stated earlier.... upon picking the final design, both variants will be delivered
#201 / #202 / #203

Michael

Those are magic words.

#175 no circle, horizontal?

That too, i will also send the symbol as a stand alone image both in vector as well as png image :D

And #207 / #208
