Logo Critic

[Begga]

I need some oppinions on this. This is a school project, but I really want it to be good. I'm doing a logo for a company, that sells health food (like penuts, dried bananas etc), and is just starting on the market. I'm also designing the packaging for the product they want to sell.

The idea is:

-healthy
-fun
-for people on the run

I want it to look good, and not one of those logos you get tired of in a few months.

Here are 5 ideas for this. The name: Blóma Lífsins. Means that you are in your prime, healthy, enjoying life etc. And Blóma is a flower.

Can you tell me which one you like the best?
What you don't like about it/them?
Color?
Font?


Thanks!

I like #3, but without the one L doubling for both words. Use two L's, then increase the leading a little. Also, the orange petal looks like it needs to be rotated to the right just slightly.

Looks good.

thanks mac, I'm still not totally happy here. I was going more for nr 4.

here is nr. 3 like you suggested

I thinks it takes up to much space, like imagine it on a business card or a brochure...

This might be just me, but the only illustration that shows a petal falling out of a flower is #1.
The others look like the petal is being put into the flower.

I prefer the "falling out" feel.

I like #2.

The partial shiloutte is nice.

I'm not finding the typography sucessfull though.

Also I don't think the large rectangle is needed.

You could create that partial shiloute with a shape more appropriate to the business in representation.

Other then that conceptually(to me) the concept is not clear. Aesthetically, I like were your headed but, how does this execution/concept(?) relate back to what your trying to represent?

Cause I'm not seeing it… although I like the aesthetic quality thus far.

However, form follows function not the other way around.

So try to make your concept more clear.

I like number two. I think I'd like to see how it looks with an elegant serif font like Mrs. Eaves. If I wanted to convey healthy, I would use green. How about green with a light blue/aqua accent on the petal?

I like you Icon. & you colour scheme does give me the impression of fruity/fresh - passionfruit almost. But I'm not keen on either of the fonts you have used. Keep working on it, I think it has potential.

I'd say #2 is the strongest. I think the flower petals could use a little refining - they create some eye tension when rotated about the center point. see below.

I'd also try some other fonts and color combinations. A good start though.

thanks to all, I will try some of these ideas. Specially the font. :D

I have tried more colors, I thought green was a little to overused in flowers, health and so on... .
