would it be naughty....? UPDATED FOR HELP WITH LOGO PLEASE

lisaloulou, 24 June, 2008 at 08:26 Posted on Planning 0 30

Thanks for offering to help. OK, so my logo needs a revamp as it was done very very quickly to get the website up and running. It needs to be orange and have a hibiscus flower and I'd quite like some swirly bits. The two logos below are very much "work in progresses" as things don't line up exactly etc yet. Its just for me to make some decisions about what I like and dislike.

So... would love your opinions/feedback/suggestions please!

No. 1 "Flower in Name":

No.2 "Flower on Swirl"

Thanks all ?

Lisa xx

...if I posted a couple of possible new website logos for opinions and feedback? Would anyone mind helping? x

    Hi Lisa

    I prefer the second one as it looks "cleaner" but maybe with the hibiscus flowers moved from the end of the tendrils to nearer the name and text but still placed within the flourish design IYSWIM. When they are hanging from the end of the tendrils they look too "heavy" to me. Edited to explain: the flowers draw my eyes down the logo

    Hi

    I prefer 1, as the flowers on the end on 2 draw the eye from your name.

    I like the second one but think the flowers need to be moved up so the design isn't quite as long, you could also add a few more flowers in on the ends of a few of the tendrils on each side if that makes sense?

    Oh gosh - I like them both (what a lovely design - what did you use to create it?!) ..... I think I prefer the 2nd one but agree the small flowers do draw the eye away. Could you maybe put the two small hibis above where it says 'beautiful handcrafted jewellery'? then the eye will be naturally drawn down thru' the centre of the logo from the name down, ending at what it is you actually make?

    Or maybe in the middle where the line of the swirls start either side of 'designs'...

    -----* Designs *-------

    Just a thought.

    I'm still struggling to decide but I think I prefer the name with the flower but with the first lot swirals as they are smaller and I agree with the others about the flowers being too bottom heavy and drawing your eye down.

    Just another thought to add to the confusion. Is the whole logo going on your front page of the website? I think it will look too busy with everything else on your front page so just keep that in mind whilst choosing your final logo as you don't want to end up realising it won't fit nicely or something.

    Sorry I've only just got back to this.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. I think I will try out a few more where the little flowers are more incoporated into the swirls rather than just on the ends to see what that is like. I don't like that the logo is so big but I'm struggling a bit with the swirls.

    Lyns - I will be re-jigging the whole front page once the new logo is on as there will be too much going on otherwise.

    I like the second one but like others have said I think the flowers need moving up a bit. How about putting them at the end of the swirl that is nearest the name and creates a circle, both sides have the same circle so would enclose the flower and have it quite prominent

    I like the second one. It'll be no surprise that I don't agree with the others about the two flowers, I like them where they are. It looks neat and balanced to me and wonder <patronising icon> are they drawing they eye away because people knew to look for them </patronising icon>

    Number 2 for me!

    And I liked the flowers where they are too. I think the "beautiful handmade jewellery" is a little too small though.

    Hi Lisa, I like number 1 , but instead of the flower shading in the O I would put it just underneath 'DESIGNS' - maybe at the right hand underside of 'DESIGNS' so it looks like its trailing off it x

    I like number 1, but without the two bottom side scrolly bits. I think it's too much going on. You have the scrolly bit in the font, and the flower in the name,, so I'd leave the scrolly bits for use on the site used in another way, but not on the logo. Or maybe have the scrolly bits half the size they are currently.

    Glad to see that orange is still the new black Smiley winking

    I like both, although thay are abit busy, but you do need to think how the design integrates with everythibng else.. website, headded notepaper, printed documents, signwriting on the van, shop frontage

    Although you might not use all of the above, a good logo will work in all those environments, and if you ever expand, you will not be back to square one

    You also need to think about your target audience.. brides might like something fluffy, older people and men might not... also, if you go for a business to bussiness (selling to a hotel chain for example) you might want to consider something a little more formal
