The logos that were submitted look great, but in case you are wanting something simpler for your actual logo: here is my idea. I combined an ancient-looking sun with a flax flower for a simple, yet memorable icon. I just thought it might be nice for you to see some less "busy" options, since it will likely be going on packaging and other small things.
I like your thinking. Could the flax flower be more detailed and blue in the center of the sun? You are correct in your thinking... this logo will be on aprons and cookie packages to begin with.
Thank you for the swift feedback, Tonya. I appreciate it. Here is a revised version of the flax sun icon, which could be used as a standalone logomark on aprons or anyother materials.
You are welcome jgoodew. I love the logos with ovens, but there is a bit of magic in the simplicity of the sun and the flax flower. In nature one could not exist without the other. So this logo design fascinates me for that reason. I guess the sun is the first transformation for the plants, the oven is the second transformation after I invoke my specialty plant only bakery formulas. WOW! One question, could the flax flower petals be a combination of other flower petals? Say a pink rose petal, a red rose petal, a hibiscus flower petal, an almond, a red quinoa bulb all still one flower and central to your sun burst?
If this could work I would love to see you powerful simplicity express this in a logo.
I just wanted to check in so that you are aware that I am working on a new version for you still. I hope to have it posted soon, so that there is time to refine further, if need be.
This is truly beautiful and this logo design is ranked number #2. I love all of the flowers being incorporated with the sun. One question. what is the black petal? I can envision this on pop-up business cards as well. #45
Any refinements since our last post? Can't wait to see them if so. Your less busy design speaks volumes! I so appreciate your attention to the flowers...they are so central to how we bake.
I have to leave town for 3 days for a famliy emergency. I will be without computer access, so I apologize for not getting refinements submitted after I said I would. Best of luck with your contest; I hope your final logo is one you love.
