logo for a cafe called "Blink"

The whole thing looks chunkier and softer, it's a lot more engaging.

The smoke heart works so much better smoothed out and thickened and the colour makes the whole thing looks much warmer.

Nice :)

It's good, but a little rough still. Is the saucer necessary?

I didn't even notice the heart of steam until I read Gemma's post. What could you do to make it more noticeable, but not out-right obvious?

Looks very ready. Maybe I would try a bit rounder typeface...maybe.

g8 work

Im not sure i would have the saucer in it, although i do like the overall design.

... Is the only thing I'd like to see this logo design without.

Besides that - This is a great piece.

I like this very much...

The flow is better with the steam moved.

Since I saw the cup w/ and w/o saucer. I like it with. the cup now "sits" on the saucer.

The steam does need softening. But I like the wood cut/chunky feel of the piece. So maybe it is removing the outline. That is a good idea.

To me it is the words blink... could they wrap slightly around the cup. It feels stuck on.

It would need to be subtle to pull it off. It may not work.

Very nice.

If the saucer is necessary, i would suggest to use a different colour for the saucer. It looks a bit heavy on the bottom.

Looks awesome, I love it.

Only things I would try changing are making the text a little bolder, and maybe just use flat colours rather than the slight texture you've got going on... I may be wrong though :)

this looks really good. I love it. The only thing I might comment on is the typeface. It could be more round.

Nice work!

I think its GREAT. I want a cup of coffee. Love "Blink" like waking up in the am right?

If without the saucer, i think you will have to flat the bottom part of the cup, making it lose the touch of casual-ity that rounded corners/smoke give.

Left-leaning smoke and right ear cup gives enough balance for symmetry.

Color is absolutely relate-able to coffee, relax and hang out time.

I love your color

I still think you need to lose the plate but I'll leave that up to you. I like the colors you used for the steam. Good progress!

I REALLY like this just because it looks so cool, but it's very cryptic. Like what on earth is "blink" all about and what does it stand for? And ever more curious is what does "blink" have to do with the coffee and heart?

But the illustration is just crazy sweet, and the thing would look great without even having a word on it.

I do like the design, but like others have already said, I'm not sure about the saucer. It makes it too heavy, and with the detail of the steam at the top as well, the name gets kind of lost.

I love the concept but the saucer does get in the way. Probably you could adjust the width of it to just a little bigger than the cup base.

everything great but brown kills it

Like it a lot! Very engaging and love the use of the coffee cup :) I know it is a café and I love cafés especially to wake me up! :) Very good!

I think this logo will work large, on a website. But small on a business card might look muddy. I might loose both the cup and saucer. You probably didn't pick the name but the word "blink" for coffee ... I really don't make the connection.

The heart is an awesome idea though -- maybe brighten the beige half so it pops?

Overall...I really like the design, I like the changes you have made so far as well by making it softer with more color. The two things that I could be nit-picky about is; you could lose the saucer which someone mentioned as well, and the font could be a softer font, but still have the "k" have a swoop. I really like the design, but that's my $0.02 - good job!

I suggest to use the plate, smoke one and two from teh same color of the cup with different degree, in this case you only have to printing colors. instead of 4.

I like how the cup has the dual tone reflection happening, but it would be nice for the colors to be more contrasting, maybe making the brown darker on the right side of the cup.

I say keep the saucer. without it the coffee cup is less obviously a coffee cup. I think the handle looks a little dinky for the size of the cup, give me something to hold on to.

I LOVE the steam, the two different colors/sizes give each side it's own personality. Looks like a couple snuggling, and I easily see the heart.

I'm not crazy about the font, it doesn't seem to match the rest of the design, maybe loose the serifs and make a little more curvy or bubbly... the one swirl on the end is enough. But if you take that one swirl on the "K" away, the font makes me think of Blink 182... and it really makes me wonder what the coffee shop has to do with Blink.

I really like this, however i feel the cup and saucer lack some definition. I would add some dark brown-black around the right side of the cup and saucer to add some dimensionality.

I don't see anything that ties the name to the design concept, but i also feel that it communicates the right message: A cozy cafe.

It could be more lighter brown for a cup :)
