Admin code added by Abby - 2V585794N4437941E

We are a fun, Southern California start up company called "Aroma Joe." We're a casual company that manufactures and distributes quality aromatherapy candles, incense, soaps, oils, etc. We'd like a casual but catchy kind of logo design that would incorporate with the name a figure/character that we can refer to as "Aroma Joe". We were thinking something with an Island guy since many of our scents are kind of tropical- but the door is wide open. Logo will be used on product labels as well as web site.
We want to see your creativity!

Hello-

Looking for something casual, tropical, and sort of cartoonish. We're looking for a brandable character image that we can call "Aroma Joe" ... and aroma in a good way ;)

Joe does not have to be a person.... Joe can be any sort of animal, object, or made up character.

We would like the image to contain the following:

The following URL's have "tropical" logos, but no "Joe" character as a focal point.

Here's a couple of "Island Guys"

here's an idea from me...zenful, tropical joe...

[dawnandy]

Very Cool design nvoke! Only correction would be our name is Aroma Joe- singular. Please make that correction, and let us take a look.

here you go! enjoy!

I'm joining this party!

[dawnandy]

Another great design, Bill. There's nothing I can tell you to change, because it's really solid; but right now we're leaning toward nvoke's design because it just seems to capture everything with the candle, incense, zenful and tropical. Dawn

[dawnandy]

Thank you for the designs submitted. We have selected nvoke's Version 2. The design seems to sum up everything we wanted and more. Congratulations!

[nvoke]
