Hi! I was looking for a logo for my dental office. Here is what I am looking for:
--Clear, crisp, colorful, clean, classy
--Easy to read
--Easy to identify as a dental office, but I don't like the extracted tooth logo in my business card (see attachment).

I have a new sign going in and I love the fonts and the setup, but need a better logo at the top of the sign. See sign attachment. I'm going to go with the 4th sign, the one at the very bottom.

Thanks!

Hi, a couple for your consideration. Thanks.:)

nutscreative,
Interesting. I'd like to see it with the following changes:
1. More colorful
2. A toothbrush instead of a mirror and explorer. (People don't like sharp dental instruments! ;))
3. Change the letter to a script "F"

I didn't quite have that in mind, but with the above changes it might go somewhere. Thanks for your help. Looking forward to seeing the revisions!

nutscreative,
This is a bit more abstract, which is good. I like the fact that it suggest dental without "YELLING" it like an extracted tooth or smiling molar does.

I think I would like brighter colors, perhaps just an "F" script letter.

This may grow on me. Thanks for your input.

[nutscreative]

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. I will post my revision on Monday. Have a great weekend.:)

Glyphica,
I like the colors. The toothbrush certainly identifies it as a dental office. Now the next step is to personalize it so it is identified as my dental office, perhaps with a script "F" somehow worked in. Good job so far.
Thanks,
mnfulton

Hi Nordy!
I really like the lettering at the top. However, I feel I need a graphic to identify it as a dental office since it will be going on the sign. See my original post--the logo will go where the extracted tooth is. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much,
mnfulton

Hi Nordy,
While I like the lettering, I don't think the logo is large enough to "carry" the top of the sign. I'm looking more for a logo without much text that distinguishes it as a dental office and also MY dental office. Any ideas towards that end?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi art176,
Thanks for posting. Trying to get away from extracted teeth in the logo. Like the family concept, though.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello! :)
Hi Artemii,
Thanks for posting! Unfortunately, I think the logo is too abstract. I want a simple design that easily says dental office, hopefully without an extracted tooth.
Regards,

Hi nutscreative,
I think I prefer the tooth/smile outline better than the toothbrushes. I would prefer to see it with just a script F, no M. or N. Can you use a different font? Interested to see the revision.
Thanks for your time,
Matt

Very interesting. I like the concept. I'll show it to my wife and get a female perspective.

Nordy,
Thanks for posting. This one doesn't quite work for me. I think it is too blue, not clean enough. I'm not quite sure how to make it better. Thanks for your time.

Hi, Please see revised attached. Thanks :)

Hi nutscreative!
I think I like version 5 better than version 6. I don't like the fonts of the "F" in #5. I was wondering how if would look with the "f" from #6.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi, sorry for delay, please see revised attached. Thanks.:)

Hi everyone! So sorry for the delay. Between the holidays, tax planning, tax forms, and oh yeah, running my business, this one got away from me. Sorry about that. I won't let it happen again.
I'd like to create a new due date of March 15th.
Post away and I promise to be more timely in my responses.

Hi, sorry for delay, please see revised attached. Thanks.:)
Hi nutscreative,
I'll certainly keep this one in mind, but would like to see some other ideas. I think some people may feel that it is a bit too abstract--but I certainly like it and it is in the running. Thanks for the nice work!

Hi everyone!
Sorry I've been absent. . .I'm not sure if I received e-mail updates that there were new postings. I apologize for this.

I'm creating a new deadline of 11/30

I like the work so far, but I believe it contains too much text. I am looking for a logo at the top of the sign in the circle:
To recap: . Here is what I am looking for:
--Clear, crisp, colorful, clean, classy
--Easy to read
--Easy to identify as a dental office, but I don't like the extracted tooth logo in my business card (see attachment).

I have a new sign going in and I love the fonts and the setup, but need a better logo at the top of the sign. See sign attachment. I'm going to go with the 4th sign, the one at the very bottom.

Thanks!

Dear Platre,
I like the colors, but I believe there is too much text. I am looking for more of a logo with minimal text for the top of the sign.
Sorry for the delay in providing feedback. I don't think I received e-mail updates.

Thanks,
Matt

Platre,
I again like the colors, but the logo I think is more appropriate for an orthodontist, not general dentist. Thanks for posting!

Jennifer,
Very nice job! I like the font and script F! I think it would be great on my letterhead.

A few issues:
--I think I like a lighter color of yellow
--I'm looking for more of logo at the top of the sign, need less text surrounding the body of the logo.

I'm interested to see your further ideas.

Thanks,
Matt

Dear Artemii,
Thanks for posting. While I like the smile and the concept of the toothbrushes, I think it is a bit too whimsical and also has too much text.
I'm looking for a clean, crisp logo at the top of my sign.

Can you come up with something else, while still keeping the smile?


Thanks,
Matt

Hi Jennifer!
I think you have the closest concept to what I would like. Can you please change the yellow to a bit brighter color, and also I would like to see some other fonts, I like Copperplate Gothic Bold in word, or a similar all caps font.
I look forward to seeing your design revisions.
thanks,
Matt Fulton

[BlueCherryGraphics]

v2 here you go...

[mnfulton]

v2 here you go...

OK, I think the yellow still needs to be brighter.
I think Fulton looks too bold, perhaps just normal text
I'd like to see some navy in the script F.

Other than that, I think we are getting close!

Hi Jennifer!
I like the changes to the yellow and the script f. In version 4, I think I'd like to see those changes and revert back to the font in version 1, just so I can compare. Something about the font in v3 just looks a bit off to me, but I can't say for sure until I see it compared to v1.
Thanks so much. I'll be signing off for the evening, but can review your designs tomorrow.
Thanks for everything!
Matt

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Sounds good; I think this is what you wanted to see.
