Thank you Deanne for being the first to submit an entry.

The font is cute and I like how you staggered it, and the cherry is also very creative on top of the "i". I am not loving the cupcake or the box around it though. I think I am envisioning a more simple cupcake.

thank you,

Kelley

Hi Tini1

Thank you for your submissions. I am not fond of the font in #1. I would love to see the "L" and "C" capitalized in version 2 since I like that font. I also am not fond of the cupcakes. Would you be able to take another crack at it??

Thank you for all your submissions!

Kekepania - thank you for your concepts. I am not too fond of the orange and green combo. Version 2 is not what I am looking for. But version 1 would you be able to choose a different font. I like how clean the font is, I just do not like this particular font. And the cupcake, could you change the icing colour.

Tini1 - I haven't been able to find any cupcakes on the web that I like...but I will keep looking.

Fran - Thank you for your submission. I am sorry, but I am not fond of the font or the cupcake. I hope you can try again?

BlueCherry - I really like version 2! Thank you.

Designers - I am struggling with the cupcake being so big in a lot of these logos. Is there anywhere to incorporate the cupcake more into the logo vs. being on top of the logo.

Here is a link to a logo that I like, and was curious if the cupcake could be in between any of the words in the logo

Thank you again for eveyone's designs. This is going to be a very hard decision.

Thank you BlueCherry. I really like V3!

Tini1 - Thank you! Version 4 is great. Would you be able to make the cupcake about 20-25% smaller and the word photography a bit bigger.

Thank you again for all of the wonderful designs! You all are so talented.

As it stands, I like the following:

Deanna - version 2
BlueCherry - version 3
Tini1 - version 4.5 (love these colours...thank you!!)

There is still some time before I make my final decision, so if any other desingers want to contribute, I would appreciate it. :)

Kekepania - thank you very much for your revised submissions. I am sorry, but they are not what I am looking for. The font is a bit too kiddish for me.

Deanna - thank you for the colour choice.

Tini1 - for version 4.5...is there anyway to make it a touch more fun/whimsy.

Little Cupcake
04-16-2008, 06:06 PM
