    Not bad

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 8:00 AM

    I like the first concept but the only thing that is bothering me is the shape of the "o". I wonder if it would look bad to use the normal octagon shape for a stop sign...just a thought. Still a good logo!

      Well my favorite concept was the word stop getting cut off. There something that I don't like about the hand in the middle of the "o". Depending on how you do it, you may just be able octagon shape without the hand and get the idea across.

    the hand

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 2:31 PM

    How about changing the hand so, that it would have the dimensions of a child's hand.

    hand in o

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 3:22 PM

    The hand doesn't really look like it is saying stop. I would research different hand motions to see if there is another illustration that looks more like it is signaling stop.

    Possibly showing the palm as previously mentioned might help.

    Otherwise great job

    The first one

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 7:55 PM

    I think that you did a great job with the tipography. I just think that the second express better the idea of a child, but if you try a different aproach of the kid may be better...

    For now the first is ok for me.

    bg color

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 11:14 PM

    I really like this concept. However, I might change the background color to something that is more similar to a stop sign red. IT seems this red is too dark.

    Good Idea - Improve hand style

    Posted on Dec 19, 2009 at 6:17 AM

    The idea with the circle and the hand inside is quite good. I also like the typo, adds some seriousness to the logo. What I would try to improve is the style of the hand. Compared to your typeface it is too clean. Try to adapt the typo style to your hand, so that the overall look is consistent. good work..

    good rework

    Posted on Dec 19, 2009 at 11:52 AM

    The first concept is nice. Agree with Nate that there is just something about the O that is not flowing...wish I knew what it was

    good

    Posted on Dec 20, 2009 at 4:34 AM

    First one is brilliant, because second one looks childish, you can use the first one in many professional places.

    Hand

    Posted on Dec 20, 2009 at 10:17 AM

    Like the first logo, but I should try to round off the hand a little bit. I gives it a smoother look.

    keep the first one

    Posted on Dec 21, 2009 at 9:13 PM

    In my opinion the first version is near perfect: simple and dramatic and makes me think both of the "halt" motion of a call for help. I'd keep that.

    (Maybe you could try justifying or centering the "cruelty against children" bit, but I'm not sure if that would be better or worse.)

    The second version seems to cheapen or trivialize the issue a bit--it's too cartoony.

    If anything the O

    Posted on Dec 21, 2009 at 11:03 PM

    I like the idea of making the O a stop sign shape, if you haven't tried already.

    nothing

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 4:57 AM

    Both are great and it's really hard to choose a winner. I think I'd have to go with V1 as I feel this sends more of the message your aiming for.

    uplift 2nd logo hand so wrist also shown

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 7:17 AM

    1st & 3rd design is quite comic so i like the 2nd one w.r.t subject.

    • mackenzie brookshire
      Posted: on Dec 22, 2009 at 8:56 AM

      the visual rep. of the hand in the second one better suits the tone/purpose of the logo. maybe "cruelty against children" could stretch a little further to the right?

    alignment

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 11:36 AM

    would just align the bottom text with "stop" and call it good to go.

    Can't make the connection

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 1:00 PM

    Hey Swarat,

    I'm sorry I'm in the naysayers camp ... I just cant link the symbol to the kids ...

    The stop and the red color, I see just a traffic sign.

    stronger

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 3:47 PM

    STOP would work better heavier and stronger? My favourite O is first with the simple hand. Subtitle could be too small?

    1st one

    Posted on Dec 23, 2009 at 5:32 AM

    Like others have commented I think the hand in the O needs some work (more palm). Also the fact that "children" is a different color inother words giving it more prominence may make your logo in some circumstances read Stop children.

    Hand in "O"

    Posted on Jan 05, 2010 at 2:01 PM

    I really like the first one. I think that the hand might need to be a bit smaller and moved up a little bit, so you see more of the hand. I do like Nate's idea about the "O" being an octagon. All that said, this definitely gets the point across. Good Job.

    Top one looks great, though yellow in children seems a little bit muted against the stark red background.

    But great job : )
