Hello there. Thanks a lot for your entries. We really like the way you've incorporated the flame into the design. It's the subtle use that we were looking for.
Unfortunately, other than the flame, the design is the exact same as the Coco Chanel logo so we don't feel comfortable moving forward with the CC arrangement the way you have it here.
If there's any way that you can incorporate the flame with another arrangement of the lettering it would be greatly appreciated.
I think too we are looking for a stronger font choice. If you could play around with some font selections it would help as well.
Where'd you go? We've decided we like the simplicity of your idea the most right now. We have to get it away from the Coco Chanel logo, however. We'd be interested in any other designs that you can come up with that will detract from the fact that it's the Chanel logo. IE: make them into full circles but highlight the c's somehow; arrange the c's differently but keep the ability to place the flame inside - anything to keep a simple but effective design with the flame - but not the Chanel arrangement.
Also - we are going to go with 'the candela collective' and lose the 'inc.' - Thanks. Hope to hear from you again.
