Logo #1 I like the layout of the logo by the words and the orange and green colors. I think the person is drawn to the logo first, then reads the words to the right and then the eye traces down to see what the rest of the logo communicates.
Logo #2 Again, I like the use of colors here. Feel that they person may tend to look at the logo and feel a bit overwhelmed by the words all lumped together and not read any of them. My favorite part of the emblem is the spoon, fork and leaf---not as sold on the representation of the people/family. Thanks for being so expedient with your designs! I am enjoying them.
Thanks for your great comments. I really do appreciate it. I've come up with first 4 designs that may be need your direction on it. I will come up with other updates & idea. Please let me know what designs that you look for. Modern or classic ? Solid color or gradient ? Web 2.0 or not ? or etc... Thanks.
I guess it is difficult for me to define whether I prefer modern or classic--but if I was to lean one way it would probably be more towards classic, although I do not rule out modern designs. I think the part of your current logo submission that I am having a hard time grasping is the looke of the people in the design--for some reason I just really don't like the look---hard to explain why. I would love to see any other designs that may inspire you.
