Paddo & CoLogo Design Contest

hi - thanks for your designs and being the first one to enter!

#2 is definetly along the lines we are looking for; good job! i cant think of much more to improve this design other then adding a more swirly border to it. ... #1 logo doesn't seem cohesive with all of the elements looking quite seperate from each other, we also feel it doesn't bring the luxurious feel that we are looking for.

hi there - some further feedback to #2, would be great if we could take it up a couple more premium notches to make it luxurious; a good example is: http://linneaslights.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dualcandle-web.jpg ... probably not as intricate as that design, but this logo seems to scream expensive :) this is also another good example; http://www.morcosmetics.com/fragrance/5/italian-blood-orange/view/11/blood-orange-lip-delight/

Thanks for the feedback, I am currently away from my design computer, but I will submit some
revisions asap.

hi - thanks for your revisions! really appreciate it! i have put a couple of them in the 'not like' just so I can keep the ranking clearer (i preferred some text you used to others), but i still like how you have altered your original design. the only thing that i am thinking is that most of my labels will be rectangle (vertically), is there anyway that you can make your design more into a rectangle - just so that I can see how it works as a rectangle ... #4, #12 and #5 are very close to what i am after, i just dont know if a circle logo reads 'expensive and a premium brand', and although i am a big fan of the pink (its my favourite colour!), I am not sure if having a pink circle reads 'premium' also ... it still needs to look luxurious and expensive for a 25-50 year old woman, and although has to be feminine can't be to girly otherwise it will make the older women feel excluded ... i hope this is helpful and constructive, as i really do love your work! :)

Thanks for the feedback, I'll get to work on some revisions asap.

thanks for making this a rectangle; great to see the design looks great as a rectangle or circle! i have just ranked your design number one ....also, thanks for the many colour variations (and please do not delete them!, i made the orange rectangle one #27 number one, but i still very much love the pink circle #12) .... all the packaging for the paddo & co range is made out of frosted glass, so different colour variations will have to be used for each bottle (as the colour of the bath salt, candle, moisturiser etc) is visible through the glass ... very useful to see the logo in peach, lilac, mint green, sky blue etc and see that it works! thanks doncorvair!

i havent ranked the brown square just because it is a little to dark and would not look good on frosted glass, i am pretty sure that you went darker as I said i wanted more mature, so thanks for trying the colour change, but I still prefer the more softer colours right now :)

Thanks for the comments, please keep in mind that I can mix & match to your liking any of
the shapes using any of the colors or fonts, so if you like the shape and or font from one
design & would like to see it in a different color, just let me know.

thanks doncorvair - i have been testing these designs with several women, and the feedback seems to be that they all think that the writing of Paddo in design #5 and #40 is more premium looking and elegant then the writing in the other designs, where the feedback was that it was a bit to young and girly. Is it possible to transform #40 into a square and make it mint green and make the swirls of the design in the top and bottom a little finer ... i think this would helps to give it more the elegant expensive touch.

Thanks for the latest feedback, here is the revised design.
Please let me know if you would like to see any other changes.

hi doncorvair - is it possible to do a black on white version of #47 (so text and swirls are black with a white background) and a pink (text and swirls are pink on a white background) of #47 if you get a moment

Here are the two versions as requested, I show them on a light grey background for contrast purposes...

tks doncorvair for all the revisions!

is it possible to see #47 with silver writing (to replace the white lines and writing) on mint green that is already there and turquoise blue - we have just found out for some of our smaller lines that we will be unable to print in white.

we will be testing the logo over the upcoming days - sorry for going backwards and forwards with all the colour changes etc, it is a lot more difficult to get right then what we thought it would take.

No problem, I am currently away from my design computer, but when I get back
I will submit the requested changes. (Approx. 7pm CDT)
Thanks

Hello,
Sorry for the delay. Here is the first of the revised designs.
I'm not sure if you plan on printing directly to the bottles or if you are going to have labels printed.
If you are going to be printing on labels, one solution to the problem of not being able to print the white,
if you start with a white label & print the color background, then the items you want to be white will
show as white, just the white label showing. Hope this makes sense. Just a thought.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks

thanks doncorvair - would you beable to have a go at putting 'natural wellbeing' into the logo in #47, we have decided to go with your logo but are just trying to get a version that we can use across the majority of our applications.

Thanks for choosing my logo! Here is the version with 'Natural Wellbeing' within the logo.
Let me figure out the pricing for labels based on you message & I will let you know.
Thanks again!
Don
