Two Rivers Family AcupunctureLogo Design Contest

We've explored options, if nothing else then to eliminate non-perspective ones. Original design without any details added is the most balanced version with the best visual flow

Perfect. As soon as you select the final logo, I'll prepare source files for it, and the wrapup should be fast. Talk soon

oh yeah! i do like this! but overall like original clean design feels best

i like the original image, and this font.
i have a few questions in with admin about details of final phase and then will be good to move on!

okay awesome!

yeah just this one here closed up.

i like the original image! no 9th element!
let's go with that, and the increased name and slightly extended blue.
not sure what version that leaves us with.

...and there's this same concept with dots completely visible on entry #311. It actually looks good, but this idea of having them in design but not visible sounds better to me. :D

..ok,..check this out a propo your idea about including 9th elements, not visible, but present. I've included two dots giving them transparency of just 10%, so you can have a visual reference. When I prepare final logo files, I'll make that transparency 0%, so it won't be visible at all. How does this sound?

Agree. Very nice, elegant option and there are no rights reserved on it,...open source fonts make things much less complicated.

No, no. It's not weird at all. There is a way. We can place for example two dots on top and bottom, and make them completely transparent,...so they would be present, but not visible.

Now when I think of it, it's actually a really cool concept, fundamentaly related to the work you do.

i like the Medio font you have found a lot better than the Magnolia one. Thank you

i like this color scheme.

this may be a weird question- in graphic design is there a clear color function? where we could draw these new 9th points in clear- so it would be there energetically, but not visually. ? 😝 and clear , not white, so that if i ever transfer the image onto colored backgrounds or print it on gear, etc, it will not show.

...and one more option on #309.

...I've made the update,...check out entry #308.

...let me test this triangular point idea. be back soon

Oh I see,...makes sense then to keep it closed.

mmm yeah- i don't really like that one as much. maybe just a subtle tiny tiny triangular point at the intersection of each. if it doesn't look good will just leave it as original

continuous flow and unobstructed circulation

the closed circles is an important part of the philosophy

mmmmm i like the colors and the font. i'd like
to keep the circles closed

...after stepping back and returning to these new designs, this one kinda pops up as very subtle intervention, non-disruptive to visual flow - just a small opennings on top and the bottom indicating acupuncture needles piercing the skin, without being obvious, and there's that symbolic 9th element present as well. Thoughts? Thnx

Bojan

Ok, I'm back with few options of incorporating the 9th element on top and bottom of the logo icon,...check out entries #305, #306 and #307.

#307 kinda disrupts the visual flow within the logo icon, but #305 and #306 turned out interesting.

I've also made your credential and name slightly bigger and brought that blue shad a bit lower from the top as suggested.

Hi,

I got it all. Let me explore some options. Be back soon with suggested modifications.

i like this font a lot.
can i make my name and credentials slight larger?
and the blue shade on the outer circle extended down a bit so the blue is more of a canopy (this comes from a specific criteria for my logo.) getting close-

nevermind.
researched that myself

i realized today through chance encounter that magnolia font is from
the HGTV brand 🤦🏽‍♀️ is it copyrighted?

this is going to sound weird, but even if you just put an invisible white line in the center of the top and bottom, at least i will know it's there and the numerics will be 9 and 9 and 18

I like this font the best. thank you.

maybe a tiny triangle at the bottom of the circle and a tiny triangle at the top of the upper intersection. not sure if this will look good or not.

just a tiny notch or graphic is fine, as i love how clean it is right now

okay- so this is very particular- but i would like a small mark or triangular point shape of sorts between the top and bottom central intersections
so that there are total of 9 lines or marks on the top, and 9 on the bottom.
both the numbers 9
and 18 are significant - so i'd like that numeric represented instead of 16 (8 and 8)

yeah i like it a lot. thanks for the extra effort.

...testing one more option, with stronger blue shade.

I was checking out for an elegant font alternative,..took me a while but I found this open source font, called Medio,...check it out. Looks nice

...sorry for that plural,..have no idea how I missed that. Correction made on #291, with more saturated colors,...and even more saturation on #292,...slight differences to compare.

please edit name to make it rivers ( plural - not river) and slightly a later color tones- more true blue and true green rather than muted. i'm having a hard time finding the colors that really hit

...ok,...I've made suggested modifications with more contrasted blue-gray > green-gray > blue-gray gradient, and increased spacing between letters. Check out entry #287. You were right,...it's better balanced and has a better flow. Thnx

If I find font more in line with that Magnolia you like I'll upload.

...yes, there are a lot of fonts named Magnolia, and they are mostly not open source, so you would have to purchase those fonts. This specific font is close to that Magnolia style, but it's open source and free for commercial use.

Let me play with colors and kerning (spacing between letters) a bit more, and maybe I can find an open source font that is close to that specific Magnolia you like. be back soon

the image included of Magnolia Font is exactly the typeset i am hoping for

i've been told there are a number of Magnolias. I might like to set the letters a bit more spaced apart (i forget what that is called in graphic design)

is this font Magnolia?

wow. i love this.
The only suggestion I would make is to alter the color gradient so it is more noticeable from blue>>> greenish>>> blue (if possible)

I've made suggested modifications,...on entry #283 there's a gradient on the logo icon going from dark blue gray to greenish gray, and back to dark blue gray, and on entries #284 and #285 I've presented pure monochromatic versions in brand colors (dark blue gray on #284, and green gray on #285).

Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thnx

Hi,

Thank you for the constructive feedback,..let me do some magic and I'll be back soon with suggested modifications. And yes,...this is really elegant, modern design, but still organic with natural flow. Glad you like it,..be back soon

Bojan

wow.
this is so different than what i imagined but i just love it.
the only change i would want to make is color/ shading- dark blue grey on the bottom - fading up into greenish grey blue and the overall top of the circle being that same dark blue color (so it is like a canopy of blue hue)- giving the visual
suggestion of rivers and trees.
i would also like to switch the size of the letters with "two rivers" being smaller than " family acupuncture ".
i'm also thinking of adding my personal name Dr. Alexis Mahon, L.Ac. under the business name

...monochromatic version, with alternative font, of design #260.

...updated version on #275. Thnx

...more established and natural look with some worn-out effect added on entry #262.

...one option more in line with your specific input,...variation on #259. Thnx

BBB

In case you want to consider modern, pro-looking, even high-end option for this branding solution,...negative space version on #255. Thnx
