Just read yout idea in the Comments-Section about a monkey forming the word "ape" and exhaling the words "Xhale". Very good, I like it and I made a logo implementing it. Later, when your company is easily recognized we could quit the word "ape" and only leave the monkey-head with the Xhale
Couiceiro - awesome job! I am absolutely loving your design. The concept is awesome, the only suggestions I have are to see the same design as #93 but with a few different fonts. Kudos!
more Vape, less Ape! I try to design your logo in a way you can use both the name as well as the image on it's own and together. On dark or light background, with colors or without. And most important with an image that gives your product personality and character, you're clients remember. Tell me what you think of each element (font, image, effects, size, contrast ...) Thanks xD
Couceiro- What drew us to #93 were the exhale marks on the X--we really like this--nice work! Let's try this: 1. #93: reduce the monkey size a little, move to the left and make the exhale marks through 'VapeXhale' with the X being as noticeable as it is now. 2. #100 is a properly tensioned image, however, let's use a cleaner font (not too clean though and perhaps try a logo that has the text crossed out to act like vapor). Again, bring down the monkey size a little. The background inside the circle needs to be lightened for proper contrast. 3. Let's try something in the style of 'japanese sunrise' (see google images) in the background--something with contrasty lines originating from the monkey. (as though it has seen the light or something). Keep them alternating brushed steel.
The dark border ones aren't really working for us--but it was good for us to see it with the black background... so thank you!
