Sarah Simpson JewelleryLogo Design Contest

The logo will be used on our web design and packaging. It is part of our rebranding and colours etc. will influence our overall web and packaging design. It may be turned into a jewellery stamp.
As we are looking to rebrand our website, please consider fonts that are publicly available.

Very keen to be involved, so please post any questions or comments.

Thanks! Sarah

Please note the Australian spelling is 'Jewellery' not 'Jewelry', Thanks

Wow, thanks everyone, they are looking great.
I'd like to see some that are a little 'lighter' I don't know if it's the black backgrounds that seem to be weighing them down?

I have refined some ideas in a new Pinterest board.
I like the way these logos interact with the names, that they are instantly recognisable (very unique) and that some of them, you look at and see different pictures (snooty peacock & hanuet)

Hopefully this give you even more inspiration!

Hello!
When you say ''please consider fonts that are publicly available'' are you refering to fonts that are free to use and not fonts that you need to buy ?

Hi Pelys, I'm ok to have to buy them, just wanted ones that were available easily, and not ones that a designer has done themselves and I could not replicate for say making a stamp, or for headers etc on my website. Thanks

Keep these fantastic ideas coming guys. Think about wedding rings and brides, proposals, opening a ring box and seeing a wonderful diamond sparkling back at you. A big part of my jewellery is fine heirloom pieces for little girls, so consider their innocence, grace and beauty.

Thanks everyone, I'm loving the amount of amazing designs here!

Competition is still well open. Due to the large number of designs, i've used the top 20 spots as ones that could be winners, (although ive made comments on some for minor changes) , and the ones under this or unranked as yet are certainly possibilities.
I've moved some into the 'not interesting' box, please don't be offended, it's not a criticism of you as a designer, I'm just moving them to make way for your other designs and to make way for more sorting room.

I have asked friends for comment now, so I'll be able to give you more feedback over the next day also.

Sarah
