Please help me choose my logo

[zeoplum]

As some of you may have read on the "Logo Design?" thread that I decided to have a logo made with thelogocompany.com because I really liked what they did for Lindy and Kwahlne. I'm trying to decide between the following two and was wondering what you think?

---links removed---

Which font do you like better? Which tulip do you like better? (green stem or purple stem)

Thanks,
zeo

Edited to remove links because I have made my decision.

Green stem!!

I think they did a great job of your logo. Lucky you! I am still considering getting them to do mine, but with only a few weeks to go before my grand opening I am finding a gazillion other things to spend my money on. Ahhh!

I like the green stem and font in the 1st logo.

Ashley, I have really enjoyed the process so far so I'm glad you're considering them.

And which font do you like better?

I like the font in #1 the best - easily read and I like the green stem/purple flower.....

Great name & I really like the concepts....

Aren't they an amazing company to work with?

I like the 1st one, font & flower. Stems should be green & the font is more open & inviting.

 

[kwahlne]

1st one, definitely! Glad you are enjoying the process!

I like the font in #1, but I find it a little harder to read. If the "u" and "m" merged together less, and if the "a" in "soap" were less prominent, it would be better. Says I.

I like the green stem on the tulip.

They did a very nice job for you!

Readability is better on the 2nd font. The flower "should" be purple with a green stem.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but from a design point of view, neither of them are WOW! logos. Your logo should be something that stands you apart from others. If you're paying for it, & I assume you are, you should be getting that WOW! logo. The first font is difficult at best to read, and the second is OK, but reminds me more of a font for a hotel for some reason. The flower doesn't say "soap" to me, it would be better for a florist.

A few things to think about:
1. Where will your logo be used? Screenprinted shirts? Embroidered items? The gradient (fade) on the flower is nice, but will be a pain if you get anything embroidered.

2. Will it look as good in Black & White as it does in color?

3. Think about the future. If you've established your brand image with that particular logo, & down the road you decide it's something that you're not happy with (or you're just kinda happy with it now), changing boats in mid-stream isn't always easy.

I hope that my post didn't come off as being condescending or rude, as that is not my intention. I just want you to get the best logo you can get!

Well, I respectfully have to disagree. They are the "wow" I was looking for. And to be honest, I'm 4 rounds of revisions deep into this so I'm no longer questioning whether this is the right design concept. I only asked for feedback regarding font and flower color. But thank you for trying to help.

By the way, I have decided to go with the green stem and purple petal so now I've just gotta decide on the font! Thanks everyone for your input so far.

[dagmar88]

Second font is better

Thanks everyone who voted. I decided to go with the one that was harder to read. It just had a certain feel to it. The designer is working on tweaking it so that it's easier to read. I just got the first draft back and I can see that it's going to work just fine!

Thanks again!
