#10 / #12

Hi! My entries feature a fish around a fork - a reference to the medical profession's caduceus / snake around the staff. Any thoughts / feedback you may have is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time & consideration.

Here's a variation with the double-fish and "wings" (represented by clams). The logo continues the sea food theme by abstractly being shaped like a boat anchor.

thanks!

#13-I like the boat anchor concept however I did not see it until really looking for it. Possibly a different variation making it more obvious. Also, we would like to see the Name on top and Seafood Market, Deli, Wholesale and Catering wrapped around the bottom. A couple different styles with circles around the lettering and not around the lettering as well as one with 1 circle and 1 with two circles around the lettering.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for the feedback - I'll work on those over the next couple days (I'll have much more time Monday)

#25
This was an idea I had this morning and wanted to see what you thought. A submerged sea anchor that also resembles the medical "+" symbol. Still integrating forks to bring the food element. I was thinking this might be a good option to represent seafood in general, so people don't think you're exclusively tied to fish only. (I'm assuming crab/lobster/shrimp/oysters/etc. as well?)

Thanks again - I'll have those other options soon

#47
I added a lobster to fill the space better and better represent the product line - I thought the lobster could represent the shelled seafood - crab/lobster/shrimp, while the fish covers all the fish and the oysters cover the different oysters/mussels/etc.

#49
Here the lobster takes the place of the anchor body.

#47
I added some new fish to the outside of the anchor / medical cross to better connect the seafood element.

#50 / #51 / #52
Variations with the circle/type/layout per request that uses the fork & fish medical staff/caduceus

Thanks for the feedback! Any other changes that you'd like to see, please let me know :)

Hi! :) Just checking to see if there are any variations / revisions that you'd like to see? Hope all is well.
thanks!

On #51 make the light blue lettering in the same font as #50. Also in #51 make the circles around it a little bolder or thicker.
Thx Josh!

Just so you are aware of what has happened - I took issue with Verbavolentbranding's entry. I felt it was too close to my own work. He disagreed. We could not come to an agreement, so it was put before the community to vote on. They voted in my favor 15 - 1, which resulted in his removal from the contest. I'm really sorry that it had to come to that - I've only filed a few other logo court grievance before - this is the first one that went to voting (I can typically come to an agreement with the designer). I hope this isn't inconvenient for you, but I do need to protect my hard work as well.

If there are any aspects that I'm not covering, please let me know - I really want you to have a great logo!
thanks for your understanding

I tried to add a stronger "doctor" aspect and thought the medical symbol could work ideally. It also makes the round version ( #65 ) resemble a life preserver for a nautical tie-in. By adding the fork, it represents a dinner plate - ready to eat with fresh seafood!

#54-Let's see it with the medical symbols vs. the stars.

OK-that looks good. Now try making the colors bolder. Also try a couple different shades of blue and purple. We are close here Josh.

Thanks!

#68 / #69 / #70 / #71

Here are some bolder variations. The blue in #70 leans a little aqua - I was thinking of the blue/aqua color of doctor scrubs.

If you like the purple from one and the blue from another, let me know and I'll put them together for you. Or if it still needs tweaked, that's not a problem either. :)
Thanks again

Josh- #65 change colors to match #68 colors. Also show us #65 with darker purple in #68 but the same color blue that exists already in#68. Will make decision today.

Here are some color updates. Did you mean the same color blue that exists in #68 (instead of #68)? I'm guessing it was maybe a typo. If you want to see any more color revisions, just let me know :)

thanks
