I went with a relatively simple logo with a tree graphic and Truffle dog as per the supplied sample. I added the festival name in a variation of black with the word forest in green to accent the natural theme and draw attention to the name.
I like the simplicity of this design, however would it be possible to see the "ruffle erfuffle" part of the text in a font that is a bit softer/perhaps more free flowing, so the emphasis lies with the TK and the tree etc.
Could we also see this with "Manjimup Southern Forests WA" included..... instead of the southern forest food festival ?
Sorry, I just realised I changed the T and K as well as the rest of the wording, although you requested keeping them as the original. I have changed it around a bit and uploaded a second revision.
#33 - really impressed with this design, as it is what we originally envisaged. Would it possible to see this design on a dark background, as our printed media is likely to not be on a white background, so would like to see this on a different/darker tone background. (fairly natural colourings are preferred)
We would probably also prefer that Manjimup be emphasised in the green text rather that Forest.
