Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your hard work. I'm really excited about the direction that this is going in. You all are incredibly talented, and I'm so happy that you are working to create a wonderful logo for my business.

I wanted to give you all more insight into the themes that I'd like to explore, hopefully it will help you in your design process.

I'm looking for a theme that is tied to the earth, feminine, refined and that feels mysterious. (It can still be fun...)

The colors I'm hoping for are more organic and probably only two or three (different tones are great within the same color theme). Possible color themes could be the ocean, the coastline, purples, greens, etc...

The spiral theme is fantastic, and I'm excited about the folks who've incorporated my wire wraps into the logos. Other possible themes could be nature inspired like vines, spiderwebs, moon, ocean, etc...

Thank you all so much. I'm looking forward to this greatly! I know I'm going to have a hard time choosing :)

I'd also be interested in desert colors, forest themes, owls...

OK - I've been reading a few things on the elements that make a powerful logo statement, and I'm hearing that less is always better, especially in jewelry. So far, all of my favorite designs have been more complex, but it seems that it will be more powerful if we take it to a simpler place.

I apologize for the misdirect, but we still have some time to correct this. I'm going to re-rank these logos and give some specific comments on where I think we could go. Please feel free to share your feedback as well - you are the experts.

Thank you all for your hard work. I'm still confident that we can create something awesome here.

Warm regards,
Mindy

So here's what I am looking for: I want simple, with a feminine & mysterious theme.

If there is a symbol (and I welcome them), it should be something that I can ultimately use to stamp onto the back of my jewelry. If no symbol, I will be planning to use the 2 'S'es, so I'll be looking at those carefully.

My original feedback holds true in terms of colors and symbolism, except let's hold off on the animals... they may send a confusing message to my potential buyers. I'm still open to spiderwebs, vines, moons and ocean themes...

I think that's all for now - I'll get to ranking. I'm really excited about this!

I know it's late, but this shouldn't impact the overall look of the designs.

I want to change the verbage underneath sacred spiral in order to have a longer lasting impact in case I change the direction of my business.

Where it now says "Handcrafted Gemstone Jewelry", I'd like to change it to "Handcrafted Treasures & Talismans".

Thank you for all your hard work. You're all doing such an amazing job... I still don't know who I'm going to pick. It's gonna be tough...
