Pumpkin Seed PressLogo Design Contest

Hi,
Here's my first idea for your logo. Since your style slider said 'simple', I used only the colors you specified in your brief, and kept the color simple with no gradients. If you'd like more color or detail and shading please let me know. I'd be happy to revise whatever you want. To achieve a whimsical feel, I placed a fairy atop the pumpkin, reading a book held by the pumpkin's curly tendril.
Thanks for looking! Feedback welcome!

A color variation of my first design

(This comment references Entry #4)

We very much like the color pallets and creativity of #3 and #4. However, I think a "fairy" will not be received well in a Christian publishing ministry to women. The designs are beautiful. They look a little too much like they are geared to children - for children's books. Our primary focus is Christian women (moms) and young ladies. Can we see a version that has the silhouette of a girl?

Also, it's not necessary to have the logo in a circle or seal. Thanks! Awesome job so far.q

Hi,
Thank you so much for the feedback. I'll revise my design accordingly and resubmit for your review.
Pam :)

Hello,
Here's a revision of entry #3. I removed the fairy and replaced it with a girl. I also made the girl a bit larger. Please let me know if there is anything else to revise on this one. I am working on other variations and will submit them as soon as they are finished.
Thanks again!

#12 I like the girl so much. Could I see a color option for this like you did on #4?

#18 Nice variation! Would you be able to put the Pumpkin Seed in some sort of a feminine script?

Hi,

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will make the suggested revisions on the 2 designs you mentioned, and upload them for your review. I'm currently at work, and don't have access to the files on my home computer, so I will make the changes this evening and upload them then.
Thanks again!

Hi,

Here is the requested variation of #18, with 'Pumpkin Seed' in a feminine script. Pam :)

Same as previous, except used a different script font for Pumpkin Seed.

Hello! Really like the completeness of #12...but was wondering if you could put it in a pastel color pallet using the tiffany blue, chocolate brown, an orange? Would love to see this variation!

Sure, I can make the revision. Just to be sure I understand, you are asking for #12 as is, only lighter? more pastel?

Same as #12, but more pastel.

a different configuration

added background and headband

Thanks for changing the colors! I like both looks really well the softer colored one #58 and #12

# 60 Great effort I really like the color pallet and the design but I would like you to try for more of a feminine script.

# 30...really like it but the font is not feminine enough. Anything else you could try?

#77 great job on making the book a subtle element.

Re #77. Thank you! I'm glad you like it. #81 is the same design, but with a different script font.

Like the new script...colors are beautiful. You are making this choosing very difficult. Thanks!! :)

#12 I keep looking at this logo and wonder if you could soften it with some gradient shades. #58 looks too washed out from a distance and the gradient shading might might soften #12 a bit. Thanks!

Here you are! gradients added to #12. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to see revised. Thanks! Pam

Changed the gradient on the pumpkin to be a little softer.

(This comment references Entry #101)

#99, added a thin outline to the pumpkin, darkened the bottom of the gradient, and added to the whimsy by making the stem Tiffany blue.

#100, darkened the bottom of the pumpkin gradient and made the stem Tiffany blue

#100 and #99 At this point I don't care for the changes made to the pumpkin stem. Thank you for your efforts!

#98 and #12 are a toss up for me. Both so I am not sure which to choose. Thanks for making the gradient changes so I could see the difference!
