Hi Sabine, thanks again for your feedback! I'm uploading a few new font ideas, and I've added wavy hair to my logo. Can you tell me, do you like the organic scripty or handwritten fonts, or are you interested in a font that's more structural?
Perfect! Its beautiful and so simply conveys our message. Normally I would say I like the more organic fonts for this, but #33 also looks good. Fonts seem to be one of those things you have to see with the logos and colors to know. I am flip flopping between the fonts on #34 and #33. I think they both work well. Could I see a version with either of those fonts to the side like #10?
Hi Sabine, thanks for letting me know about your font preferences. I've uploaded a new version for your review. With this version, I stacked the business name and put the logo to the side. I used the font from #33 to start off because I think it scales better. Also, with the business name stacked, I chose to put the logo to the right, which is a bit unconventional (usually you see the logo to the left), but I think it has a great balance this way. I customized the text to repeat the organic wave shape on the H in Wahine, which I think creates a great connection between the simple font and the organic logo.
Further, I'm showing you the design in several color variations. One very important aspect to any logo is that it can communicate and be recognizable in only one color. There are many uses for a logo that require a one-color graphic (embroidery, engraving, some advertising like yellow pages, etc.) that it's vital that your logo works in just one color. It's also good to have a simple one or two-color version when printing costs are a consideration. So, I'm showing the logo in a simple two-color version (#51), a full color version with some effects added (#52), and two one-color versions (#53 and #54) showing the blue from the two-color and just plain old black and white.
There's a great article by David Airey on what makes a good logo that you might like to read. It's wonderful advice for anyone in the midst of choosing a logo! http://www.davidairey.com/what-makes-a-good-logo/
I'll keep working with the fonts, but I'd love your feedback on this version. Thanks!
Thank you for all of the great info and all the wonderful versions! That really helps to see it. COuld I see #52 with the font and colors of #10 (including the color switch on the flowers/leaf)
I like the h. But you know, as I look at all of the logos, I keep getting drawn back to the first font you did in #10.
And yes, I understand about the logo. Our challenge is that we have to satisfy corporate needs as you described, (especially as it comes to grantwriting) but also make it something that young teenage girls will be attracted to on the website, facebook and tshirts. I've had to deal with a similar situation for another successful non-profit I started. http://www.velobella.org/blog/ so am looking for that same balance here. That being said, I think I will have a wonderful variety to offer to the person making the final choice, and of course I will explain the pros and cons of all of the choices.
I do think your logo is genius in that such a simple shape has fully conveyed the goals of the project. its really brilliant.
