The HiveLogo Design Contest

We like this. It says juice, summer, fun, beach, lunch. Would there be any way to make it say "cocktail" as well?
Also could we see a version with a hole in the beehive for the bees to enter (like a black hole) (just out of curiosity)?

I meant with the text and coloring. Don't add the straw and umbrella. We are liking the classic feel. If you could make it a little edgier and alter the pictorial mark so that it is a little less like the ATT logo.

Maybe the icon could be a little more like an oval and less like a perfect circle

Referring to the first entry (#69), make the edges less rounded. Also, make the entire shape more of an oval and less circular. Submit a few entries with different edges and shapes. No shading or additional coloring needed like entry #75.

on #69: just squeeze it a tad bit so it is more ovular like in the reference images.
Also the text needs to be able to fit on a horizontal sign.

The font is not working yet. Play with it more. Close. but not quite.

Neither is the hive itself. Try different colors or something.

Can you make it a darker orange. It looks like a sun. I would like it to look more like the color of the setting sun. Deeper red or something.

Also, take the outline from #75, put it on the newer one and make it black though.

Can you put the text in a font like this: http://postimg.org/image/d9mo8iuz7/
And also try this font: http://www.dafont.com/coolvetica.font

And make the color of the icon this: d44000

Thanks

(I'm referring still to #69)

Could you add a hole for bees to come in and out in #69 as well?

Hi.
In #210 I tried to recreate: http://postimg.org/image/d9mo8iuz7/ ,like font.

#211: remove the hole. Add a dotted line around the icon like a bee is in orbit around it.

#211: Remove the dot. Make more space between "the" and "hive". Try to find other ways to make the text work. We aren't sold on it as it is.

Both #220 and #221 are pretty good. I don't like the text on #221. I'd like to see all of the "H". I would like "the" to be flipped as well.

We still like #69 a lot. If you could make it more recognizable and legible that would be great.

The icon in #250 is good. The text is not. Keep playing with it.
