[tmarkham]

Admin code added by Abby - 5GV01890RD473762L

I've created a new line of limited edition, fine art bronze sculpture that will be sold nationally in art galleries. We are looking for a logo that promotes a sense of whimsy, and fun, but not silly. These are fine art pieces that will sell from $400 to several thousand dollars. I've attached images of the sculpture for inspiration. The name of the line is Out of the Bowl.

Thanks so much for submissions so far. Here are my impressions.

Paula 23 #2.
I really like this idea. I like the font and the color scheme. The piece that you used is called Sumo Pear. I noticed that you used the image with the back side of him (his feet are facing backward). I would like to see this with him facing forward. Although some I have showed it too loved the three colors on the pear, I would like to see the pear with just the base green color and the white highlighting. This will also clean up the black and white version. I would like to get rid of the bottom shadow in the black and white version. Also I would like to get rid of his belt as it's hard to see what it is.

I would love to see this set up with the chili peppers dancing (salsa), as well as the bananas dancing (banana tango)

I love the concept

Thank you for your submission. I really didn't care for this concept. The banana is a bit too cartoony and I didn't care for the font.

I love the idea, but many I have showed it too that are not familiar with the line don't see that it is a orange slice playing a bongo. Also when this gets smaller I think this problem will be amplified. I do like the font, layout and color scheme however so perhaps using the Pear or antoher O in Bowl with arms and lets and a stem instead of the orange. I'll post an image of one of the concepts that we originally liked for your reference.

I like this set up, however I don't care for the scrolls or the block with font below the bananas. I like the idea of incorperating the bananas though. We have thought of going with a 70's look for the brochure. I'll post the brochure image for inspiration on font and other highlights.


Thanks so much for all of your submissions, and I look forward to seeing more concepts and revisions.

[tmarkham]

I posted an original logo concept. I like this idea, but want a more polished look. I like the O being modified with arms and legs and a stem.

I also added a brochure concept which had a 70's feel for insipiration.

Thanks again for all your creativity and work.

Project Update: The project deadline has been extended to Dec 24th.

Deanna,
The bananas were my first concept so I do like the idea of using them. I think the color of the bananas is a bit too bright so it feels a bit cartooney. My thought when creating the line was to have them look as close to real fruit that just came to life. Is there a yellow that more matches the piece? I like the brown, but no the pink, or green.


Paula

I like #9 and #13 very much. After seeing #13, #9 seems just a bit bland. Can we see it with a bit different font, or somthing like the stars to give it a little more.

#13 is great, my thought is that it might be a bit too whimsical. It there a way to tone that one down just a bit, perhaps lining up the font. I would also like to see this version, as is, with a pear without the arms and legs or belt. I do love the symetery of the logo. I love the color tone of the pear.

I love the concept, but am afraid of the colors clashing with the actual pieces. This will be used in a catalog with the images. I really like the idea of not using an exact image of one of my fruit, but as you did something symbolic of the fruit coming alive. The more I look at it the more I like it. I love your designs... Can I see another? Perhaps new fruit creation, (she certainly has some attitude:) perhaps a new color scheme.

Titania. I think the colors are too primary. I'm looking for a richer look. I don't really care for using this many fruit as I think it gets a bit distracting. The concept of the bowl itself is intriguing.
