The Minds ExpertsLogo Design Contest

Hi perryims any chance of feedback on concepts #68 to #74

I like this design primarily because the designer here hit on the nail with 3 rings. There are 3 minds I work with the client on.

The design is also very sleek while not being overly masculine, since my clients do include females.

The colour theme is followed closely to this website: http://BookYourselfSolid.com (My decision to do that)

I like this design because of its Zen like concept. I like concepts that evokes an emotion of class. After feedback, the designer incorporated the colour that I like into the design.

The play on the picture of the brain without being overly literal is brilliant.

The head in this design is wonderfully designed. I like the overall look, making it very laboratory like, without being too serious.

The smile on the face is a good improvement.

I would prefer a less masculine look to the logo though.

#77

I like this one because the designer nailed the concept that there is a little voice in everyone's head. And it is that little voice that I work on too.

Improvement that can be made would be to make the design more sleek. Put a little classiness and chic into it. :)

Since you asked, Perry, the spelling is confusing. We use the "s" to indicate plurality (more than one). The way you have it worded (Minds Experts) suggests that there are more than one of you and that the group of you are experts at more than one mind. I get that this is probably the truth of it, but the "English tongue" stumbles a little with the repeated plurality. We would usually either say the minds expert, or the mind experts. Mind expert doesn't necessarily mean that you are an expert at only one mind, just as the bird expert doesn't suggest that you are an expert at only one bird. But in English we wouldn't say the birds experts. It violates a subtle rule. The only reason I'm aware of, to do such a thing would be to intentionally cause people to sub-consciously stumble, and in the process, think about what is being said more deeply in an effort to understand why there is the break from conventional usage.

My suggestion is, if there are more than one of you using the logo to refer to yourselves, go with the mind experts. If there is only one of you then either the minds expert or the mind expert works fine, depending on whether you want to imply more than one mind. From your comment about the three rings, I imagine you do like that subtle reference.

"The way you have it worded (Minds Experts) suggests that there are more than one of you and that the group of you are experts at more than one mind. I get that this is probably the truth of it, but the "English tongue" stumbles a little with the repeated plurality."

"The only reason I'm aware of, to do such a thing would be to intentionally cause people to sub-consciously stumble, and in the process, think about what is being said more deeply in an effort to understand why there is the break from conventional usage."

These deductions are dead on.

All part and parcel of branding. Thanks for the post.
