I am very open to the use of an abstracted shape and I love how the shape is reflected in the foreground of the logo. I do prefer the smaller size of the blue graphic. I also like how "studio" looks like a precise fine pencil mark, which is how we begin our jewelry design process and how it is in the reflection of the blue graphic. I'm not sure that the heart-trinity shape says anything about us though. I can give you a few images that could be abstracted in some way- there are two of us in the studio, we use torches with a small open flame, gemstones, sparkles, calipers, pencils, the metal we generally use in in the form of tiny sparkly droplets, we use a lot of hand tools, pliers, hammers, there ia always molten metal involved. I hope this is helpful and not just long-winded. Thank you so much for your thoughts on this design.
My partner looked at your design and really liked it too. He agreed with me in that he like the concept of an abstract design. He really liked the font choice and placement; easy to read. He has suggested a graphic that is less celtic but still along the lines of Art Nouveau. He also liked the reflection and thought the graphic may look nice in the background. Thank you so much this is very nice. #9
#174 does not speak to me as much as your first designs, #9 and #10. We really liked the concept of an abstracted shape but I do like they layout you used for #174 (horizontal). Thank you very much
