    a few things..

    Posted on Sep 03, 2010 at 4:02 PM

    i like the concept but u can do a lot to improve it- at least try a few things..

    • may be use just the leafs to create the palm shape.

    • instead of using a circle in background, try a different shape, something circular only but not exact circle.

    • the font used for 'prima planta' is not fitting well here, try something else, may be one of the handwritten fonts.

      Thx for the comments. I made some changes based on your feedback. I changed the palm shape a little bit and I tried the handwritten font. What do you think?

      For me these are very helpful comments; I think your new corrections and colors make it look even better!

    explain it to me

    Posted on Sep 02, 2010 at 3:37 AM

    Can you explain the graphical logo? To be honest I can't figure out what it should resemble, what it should tell.

    The design is simple, well readable font. The purpose isn't clear to me at all; maybe after an explanation I'll see the light Originality: it's a common layout, so nothing special to mention here Engagement: As I said before, the logo doesn't tell me what's it about. My first thought was that this was a logo for butter or something (In Belgium we have a company who makes baking butter called 'Planta').

      It's supposed to be a hand made of plants reaching for the sun. That's the idea. I don't think a logo should always tell what the company does. My idea is to give a "nature" look and feeling.

      Fair enough, now I know what it is, it makes more sense! I think giving the hand a thumb and it'll be crystal clear!

      Thats why there's two leaves at the bottom. The big one is the palm and the little one is the thumb.

      For me it's a lot beter. If I may focus on the little details: if you want to make it look like a hand even more, I'd make the palm leave a bit bigger. Maybe a suggestive stem (2 lines, could be figurative as an arm or a stem)

      The new version is definitely a huge improvement!

    Refine the leaf

    Posted on Sep 05, 2010 at 8:43 PM

    I love your concept as well as your color scheme, I would just like to see the leaf look more complete, make it one shape, after you close the small space I think this would be a successful design

      Thank you all for the comments. The deadline ended yesterday so I gave it to the client and she's very happy.

    Draft

    Posted on Sep 09, 2010 at 12:04 PM

    Love the first one and the last one - I especially like the type on the last version

    It might be becoming a little too complex but Im liking the concept

    Overall they're good, but I think Id go with the final version as my favourite - maybe you could lose the yellow circle and try to incorporate the colour into the rest of the logo?

    But good stuff!
