#4 I like the style of the writing, but not sure that someone would read what it says (inglorious is inherently long). I like the rest quite a bit. The herb/leaf is a good touch. Welcome more color. :)
#5 This is my favorite one by you. Looks great; very creative. Maybe a slight change to the expression on the monk...I'm not sure to what (looks more positive when enlarged, but smaller it looks a bit glum?) The color is a great touch, the herb/berry works well too, given our simple, pure ingredients with decadent results (chocolate graham cracker crust with non dairy luscious cheese cake with chocoloate drizzle, etc etc). Thank you. I look forward to seeing more with this one!
#9 Anna...LOVE the latest version that I've ranked #3. Love the brighter and more colors. Love the simply pure pleasures tagline. Maybe the lines outside the monk could be a brighter yellow? Could you possibly have his face looking less sleepy eyed, more alert looking or less expression. Does that make sense? Thanks! Nancy
#9...Could you put "Simply Pure Pleasures" in quotes and have it more prominent? Also, I am not sure about the shape surrounding the word bakery...could you do it in a way that is a bit more hip? Thanks so much! Nancy
#9 I just noticed there is a loaf a bread...we don't make bread since we are gluten free and are specialty is decadent desserts. :) Maybe some small bowls with ingredients (like with herbs, fruits..blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, nuts, herbs). Thanks! I love your work, just trying to help fine tune to what I am looking for! Nancy
#37 Hi Anna, I absolutely love this!! Can you please make a few different versions? I'm afraid people may think the bowl has soup. I LOVE the concept of offering this up to God to be blessed, the way you have this. I also really like the manliness and strength of the monk (I think many monk are lean and strong because of their discipline in life, and it is compelling).
One version...have a bowl with a wooden spoon in it, and if anything, a simple batter in it if it fits/the angle, etc.
Another version..one with a bowl with a pile of nuts?
Not sure about this one, but I wonder what you think of another with no bowl somehow holding pure ingredients like eggs, nuts, chocolate, berries, etc? We use nuts (not peanut) and many natural ingredients in our recipes, like pure cocoa, olive oil. I'm not sure if you can do this or it makes sense; maybe just the mixing bowl and spoon...I look forward to seeing your creations because this image of your is just great!
Since it looks as if it's being held up to God, do you think any beams of light or such would add anything (like in one of your earlier logos with the yellow lines)?
My husband thinks it may be clever to have the monk holding up a Kitchenaid. Not sure; what do you think? His degree is in industrial design, so I have to listen to him at least. :)
Thanks, Nancy
PS - Love the color!! PSS You are awesome. When I first looked at logo tournament when my friend the Dinner Fairy recommended it (her logo was done recently), your designs stood out. I am honored that you submitted! :)
#37 Also, maybe the Simply Pure Pleasures (first word capitalized, or all caps, whatever you think best) maybe could be done differently, without the bar and in the letters in color, or something, so that it is easier to read? Thanks! Nancy
#34 Is there a way to make this monk a bit more manly looking...my husband thinks he looks boyish and I am thinking maybe if he looked like he had a slightly more muscular frame he'd look more like a man? Or is it the face? I like the change of the eyes and the smile that you have done. Thanks! Nancy
