#1

Hi! My entry features a modernized/minimalized maple leaf in red plaid to portray a modern, rugged Canadian vibe. The bottom quarter of the leaf is solid brown - hinting at having galoshes on! It could easily be produced as a single color mark. The maple leaf could be diecut (with the drop cut out) and used as a memorable tag for packaging.

Thanks for your time & consideration

Hi Josh, I really like what you have submitted. Maybe the font can be bolder and more in your face? Similar to the porsche logo. Also, is it possible to show me where and how you envision my slogan fitting into this?

Thank you and looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Client
Also, maybe instead of having the bottom of the flag in brown, it can be in black? More visible.

Client
And, please make background white or transparent as the logo will need to be used on business cards, rubber shoes, paper boxes, and bags. It needs to be easily placable.
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
I'll have revisions soon :)

regarding the background, the logo file is transparent. I like to set my logos on a slight gradation for presentation and for a more accurate "printed" appearance (I feel it presents the logo in more realistic lighting) I'll make sure to have my future submissions on solid white for comparison, though

Thanks for your feedback!

#6 / #7 / #8

Here are revisions based on feedback. I have a couple type options that are a little more visible and san serif (similar to the porsche logo). I've also included a variation that shows black on dark grey - a minor simulation of how it would look stamped into the rubber. With your logo in particular, I would expect that you will be utilizing the single color with limited application as well, correct?

Any other needs I can address, please let me know. :)
thank you

All of these options are great. Is there a way for you to make the brown part of #1 black. Also can you incorporate my slogan please?

I really like where we are going with this.

#9 / #10

#10 is like the initial #1 entry, except the bottom part is black (there is still brown in the plaid, though - wasn't sure if you wanted to keep that brown for contrast to the black...sometimes the internet is hard!!)

#9 is the newer font with tagline added.

Any logos you'd like me to remove to "un-clutter", just let me know and I can withdraw them.

thanks again

I like entry 9 and 10 a lot. Can we try putting up a different type of leaf/rain drop as well? To have more options.

Maybe something more abstract? For your reference take a logo at the tree/leaf used in the 4 seasons logo.

But please do not remove any of your entries as the ones I have kept are all very viable options.

Please keep things coming. Loving what we have so far.

Entry 18 is cool but the thing in the leaf looks a little to much like a cone. Can we make that specific thing a bit less intense and have it blend more? Also have it look more like a raindrop maybe?

Keep them coming! They are great!

Thank you so much.

#18

I was actually working on this last night/this morning! It's a raindrop making an abstract maple leaf. Any thoughts/feedback is definitely appreciated.

thanks!

Answer to your last comment:

Keep them coming! They are great!

Maybe we can see more of the leaf??

Thank you so much.

Client
Really liking what you are coming up with. Just will be good to have a bunch of different options we can work with to find the optimal one.
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
do you like the drop within the leaf concept (like #9)? Personally I think it's a bit more recognizable - what do you think?
12 years ago
 
Client
Yes I do. I like both. Maybe for the most recent one you did, you can make the leaf more visible and the big drop a smaller one? That way there are two types of leafs?

12 years ago
 
Client
Also, at first glance the leaf from entry 9 looks a bit like a star. Maybe we can make it more leaf-ish.

But please do not delete or remove any as they are all very viable options. I have liked everything you have posted.
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Yes - that was sort of the intent with minimalized leaf...I thought the star could help make it more "iconic". I'll work on some different leaf shapes and have more up soon.

thanks!!
12 years ago
 
Client
I agree it is iconic, and it is by no means out. But let's try and get different ones as well to compare and contrast.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks

#19 / #20 / #21

Here are some more concepts I had in my sketchbook.

#19 uses the more traditional Canadian maple leaf
#20 a boot print (although I swapped out the previous leaf with the revised leaf)
#21 is a straightforward combination of the leaf and raindrop

I'll keep thinking :)
12 years ago
 
Client
What about going with the abstract leaf, just more of it to be seen as used in 18?

Not crazy about the boot one, but will keep it anyways as option.

for 19, the leaf is too plain.

thanks
12 years ago
 
Client
I really liked where you were going with #18 and its leaf/drop combo. Just need to see more of leaf and have drop incorporated in it rather than it being the only thing you see really.
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Sounds good - I'll work on something more leaning towards a leaf with raindrop elements, rather than the other way around. I hope to have something to look at later this afternoon :)

thanks for all of the great feedback!

Great! Sorry for bombarding you with comments. Just yours have been the most promising and I think you will be able to give me what I am looking for.

Please do not remove or delete anything as we can use your past ideas going forward, and all of them are still options.

I look forward to seeing more of your entries!

no problem at all - I love comments. It's MUCH better to have a client that comments than one that leaves ya guessing! If you do want me to remove them, just let me know (if it gets to be too much clutter or you rule a direction out completely, etc.) :)

#22 / #23 / #24

Here are some more variations. A new leaf from a large splash and smaller drop, as well as a variations with a "barrier" showing the water being repelled.

I tried focusing more on the leaf and less on the splash-as-leaf, but due to the freeform shape of a a splash, it wasn't really recognizable unless made to look VERY obvious. It just looked like a ragged leaf edge. I'll definitely keep trying if you want me to continue to pursue. I've only spent part of this afternoon on it and we have plenty more time. :)

Client
Like all of them!

Let me look it over and comment in a bit.

If you have other ideas keep them coming!

Thanks

Client
Just so you see where my head is at. So far my favorites are 18 and 23. Maybe the next ones you post are a combination of them? or those but in different styles?

Look forward to continue working with you and seeing more options. As you said, we do have plenty of time.

Thanks,

Daniel

Now that I have taken more time to look at it, the boot logo is also very interesting...20.

Can youbgive a few more like that one? I find that one to be pretty hip and easily malleable.
12 years ago
 
Logo Designer
Absolutely! Let me think it over and I'll try and have some more options to look at tomorrow (or earlier, if possible) Thanks!

boot one is ranked #1 so far. please send more versions like that one!

Look forward to seeing them.

Thank you for all of your help.

Play around with shoe and font a bit. we can go from there

Along with the shoe logos, can you take a look at the Four Seasons logo. They have a tree that has 4 seasons in it.

Maybe take that as an inspiration and example of something we can do with the leaf?

That way we will have boot options, leaf options, and then the old one that resembles a star.
12 years ago
 
Client
You have by far been giving me the best ones. So please keep them coming focusing on the shoe logo you made, and looking at the 4 seasons logo for inspiration when looking at making a leaf one. If the leaf can incorporate signs of bad weather in an abstract way that could be cool. Color is less important to me than innovative and abstract.

#50 / #51

My boys decided to play outside, so I was able to put together a few new ideas real quick.

#50 Furthers the boot idea. The print shows repelled mud/water with the "sole" of the boot being Canadian.
#51 Depicts the stylized star leaf with mud/rain/snow above the "galoshed" bottom half of the leaf.
12 years ago
 
Client
I much prefer the first shoe you made me. I didn't mean fully steer away from it, but maybe do certain changes to give some options.

As for the one you made with the symbols within the leaf, that is the idea, but maybe you can look at the four seasons logo online to see how they blend it in. I find it subtle and tasteful.
12 years ago
 
Client
I find the one you made too busy and cluttered with the three things within the flag. Whereas the four seasons one is blended into the tree

That's cool - it was more a way to explore ideas/direction than as a final logo proposal. :)

What do you think about a "ship at sea" type of design to create a feeling of actually weathering a storm? Sort of a visual metaphor for your galoshes being able to withstand weather?
12 years ago
 
Client
oh that cool!
12 years ago
 
Client
I was not crazy about the ship at sea. Lets focus on coming up with variations for the boot one (which is still my favorite out of any logo), and the leaf with seasons that resembles that of the four seasons logo.


Thanks

#72

I was thinking a little more about water/storm-proof things and thought of a duck. It's feet go on land and water - so it fits really well with galoshes!

Hi Josh,

Can we focus on Entry #20. That is my favorite. The other ones I am not too fond of. I seem to keep going back to #20.

Maybe you can make the shoe in a different color? Make one in lime green and keep the writing in black? After all, I am satisfying the Canadian feel by having the maple leaf in it.

Not a problem at all. Just wanted to make sure we explored everything :) Anything else you'd like to see, just let me know :)

thanks!
