Here are some of my proposals. Instead of creating a separate icon / typography combination, I've created an all encompassing logo / unit. One that can be used for additional elements just as branding stamps, watermarks, shirt badges/embroidery etc.
I've started in its simplest form, monotone ... I've always been a believer if it works in this, it will work in colour. And also shows that it can work for things like newspaper print etc.
The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed,
It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say. I look forward to your comments or thoughts.
Hey! Thank you for your artwork! i really like where you went here. Very different than the others and yet still clean. Just for my curiosity, Can we do #45 with knives as i fear the fork prongs will be too small when it comes to printing and may not be so pronounced. Also for #46, how would it look with "the" on top as you have it in the others? i dont mind it on the same line as kitchen but again, curious to see how it would come out.
Thanks for the feedback and comments, and of course would be my pleasure. Here are two new options; #60 and #61. If you'd like to see any others don't hesitate to ask.
