noob logo

[exigent]

Hey there, I was wondering what other people thought of this logo I've made. To me it looks unfinished. Is the grass maybe a bit too much? Without it the green bit around the text looks alone and useless. Anyway any input would be appreciated.

Grass is too much. Bradleyhand is overused.

You don't have a concept yet. You've just got a wreath and some text.

This tells me nothing about this company. How do I know that I can trust them? What do they sell? What quality are their products?

Lessen the grass and possibly change the font. It's a little too common:)

I trust "stability" in a symbol for medical services, cleanliess, tidyness. All these will come from the use of colour, choice of font, and symbol in a cohesive way.

From your previous description (in the "General" section), it looks like you have the same thing you described as "lacking" in creativity here as well.

Go back to paper and pencil, and sketch up some ideas.

id loose the red keyline, it doesnt aid the natural feel you are going to need on this piece. And red is an aggressive alarming colour. Why dont you take a look at some other companies logos that work in this field... it'll help as a starter for ten.

You need to put more craft and polish into it youre work aswell, please dont take this the wrong way but it looks like you spent about ten minutes on this logo

Change the font first of all. And go easy on the grass :D.

The font, while described as overused, is similar to the fonts used all over this particular industry and makes the logo recognizable as part of the herbal line of thinking. If you are going to change the font to something completely outside of recognition value, have a good reason other than other-designer-perceived overuse.

The first thing I saw when I looked at this logo was 'crown of thorns' rather than 'wreath' and for a moment thought it might be religious in nature.

Not to bust the creativity bubble but think about fine-line strokes and other whispy elements and how they will reproduce in print at tiny sizes, in signage, and when printed large. The logo almost falls apart when viewed on my monitor. That's not good.

Check your negative space and your weight values. The text is lost in the overpowering wreath. Too much fine-line stuff going on.
