My submission, inspired from a swan which reminds me of spiral their shape the way the move or almost glide on water.. The mark can easily stand on it's own to water mark photos etc.
The swan is beautiful. The overall design is elegant and feminine, as well as the most professional entry that I've received.
Two of my family members are in jewelry - merchandising and marketing. I expect feedback from both of them in the next couple of hours, and plan to hold off on feedback for you until I get a chance to talk with them.
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, I've been thinking a lot about your logo. I've done some research on Swan symbolism, and it works really well with the themes that I want to communicate. As far as your adjustments, they both look beautiful to me. I think it'll probably come down to a color theme when deciding upon the right one to use.
I have been thinking about the following colors: Purple or Indigo/Midnight blue - fantasy, mystery, sophistication, spirituality, expensive, luxurious, feminine Silver - Vision, Clarity, Strength, Purity, Femine Green - Creativity, Healing, Renewal, Growth Orange - Vibrant, Unique, Artistic, Uninhibited Black - Bold, elegant, mysterious, sophisticated
Why don't you play around with those a bit and see where it takes you. I am more interested in unique versions of the above colors - I don't want to see grass green or fire orange, for instance.
Thanks. Please let me know if any questions come up.
1. I forgot brown - Depth, richness, subtlety, earthy, natural 2. I definitely don't want all of these colors on the same logo - one to three will be fine 3. What did you mean when you said you were staying away from the duel Ss, for obvious reasons? Not that I want you to, just curious ...
