Hi, here is my design for your consideration. A speech bubble cut out in negative space from the S depicts the story concept, and I added a smily face inside the speech bubble because when I say the company name, I hear the word "elation" in addition to "relation." Thanks!
Hi Lindsey, I like what you did with the S, the bubble in the S + the smile. Is it possible to improve the rest of the name a little bit, I find it a little bit too simple.
#87, similar to #41 but I broke up the syllables by color and added a bit of tilt.
#88, another font type.
#90, a more fun and playful font, and I tried a papyrus color. A good neutral + a bold color makes for a nice color scheme.
I can of course change up any of the colors if you have a preference or decide on a color scheme.
There's a great website called http://colourlovers.com that has tons of color schemes. Be careful though, I've known people to spend hours just poking around the site. For a logo, it's more economical to stick to one or two colors, but having a full color option can be good too. Any logo really needs to work in black only though, for those times when color isn't an option (e.g., etching, engraving, some print, etc.).
I completely missed your earlier comment about the font! Sorry to waste your time with different font types. Let me know if you think it needs more work, different colors, etc. Thanks!
