Logo

Time to design our logo. I started it a year ago and never finished it off. All of them are the same except for the font at the bottom. Let me know which font you like the best and why if you like that sort of thing. Also, feel free to make any suggestions about the rest of it. When I came up with the falls as an F idea I was a little afraid that it might not be obvious so let me know if that was a problem for you. Changes are easy since I did it all in photoshop so don't be afraid to make suggestions!

Generally I like it. I like #5 font the best. I think that they gap between Snoqualmie and Falls is a little too big. It feels gappy and doesn't flow together as much as it could. Know what I mean?

I mean font #2. I think plain print looks better than cursive with this logo. And the #5 print is too feminine.

(and sorry for so many comments not together)

I like the first one and the last one the best. I like the "F" waterfall. Very cool.

Lindsay said...

I like #1 the best and #5 the second best. I like how there is a different font at the bottom. The other cursive ones are harder to read.

Lisa said...

I like 2 and 5. The print writing stands out to me more than the cursive. You don't want to have to look too hard to read it. I like the general look though. The waterfall is a great idea.

Carson Calderwood said...

Thanks everyone so far, cool idea collette. I'll pass that by the boss ;)

Marisa said...

Now that you say it, I totally see the gap, Collette! And Carson, my vote is for the font scriptina... oh, wait, it's not one of the choices! My real vote is we need to keep looking.

Carson Calderwood said...

I added your collette and added a slight change to it.

Lettie B. said...

I like the last one )7?) but maybe move "at" over with The Ridge?

I like to see that you are making your own logo, by the way. :)

I like it "less gappy" too- the last ones work better as far as spacing on the Snoqualmie Falls part. However, I like the tag-line at the bottom like in #8 (the very last one) As far as font goes, I cant decide, all I know is that I don't like 1, 3, and 4. Good job on the logo, it looks cool. And I had no problem getting the "F" as a waterfall but I would ask someone that has totally never heard of Snoqualmie Falls before.

Jodee said...

ps, I also like the tag line in grey better than blue.

Jodee said...

OK, one more thing, what if you took away the underline that is to the right of the water pool?

Jared Behunin said...

definitely # 6 or 2 - they are the best balanced. Obviously the Falls itself is a very nice look, but the text for the tag line is best on 2 an 6. Combining one complicated element with simple text is very classy and visually appealing.

Bennett Family said...

i like the 1st one. very cool design! not hard to get at all. what about not underlining the top 2 lines?

KatieB said...

#2. Chad's working on his logo right now. we should just pay you to design it!

The Hunsakers said...

I like 2 and 5, but with the words moved over. I like #2 a little better because the Advanced dentistry line doesn't compete with the name of the office. The cursive is definitely a little too much. The flowing style isnt' bad on number one though. Anyway, that is my two-cents, take them for what they are worth.

Elena said...

I like #8 the best. I think moving the font over looks great and the font is easy to read.

Erin said...

Number 6, I think white space makes for a better look and it is the only one with the word Dental on the right.

Erin said...

okay one more thing I think it would look best if you didn't underline dental on 6...still the best one though.

I like 1 and 2 best because they're easiest to read, but don't look 80's computer-y like 5. And don't do 6 or 7 with the format change - it's too confusing. But I like the falls for the F. It's cool. Oh, and why is it "advanced" family dentistry? Are you really more advanced than other dentists? I know you probably are, but I've worked for enough places that make claims they can't really back up that it gets on my nerves.

Carson Calderwood said...

We'll be the only office in the area that is all digital, 1 visit crown, soft tissue laser, etc!

Lettie B. said...

I think 8 should be your final version. It looks good.

Carson Calderwood said...

A lot of people have liked 6 though. I'm going to probably make another post w/ the edits and get a final vote when I have more time to edit them later.

Bob B said...

I like #2 and #6 the font is clean and crisp.

The dental seems a little off, like its just a little too stretched for the font that was used.

I really like the falls concept. Kudos.

Lisa said...

I like #8 the best. It feels more balanced when you look at it. If there is a way to balance #6 more, that one would look good too. I just think the space beneath "Advanced Family Dentistry" is to distracting.

Unknown said...

I have to agree that 6 is the best. I like having the "Dental" on the right side. It seems to flow better, which goes with the theme of the falls. The only thing I question is the size of the font for "Advanced Family Dentistry at the Ridge". I wonder if you increased the size and placed it on the bottom like the others but with the "Dental" still on the right side with the underline carried through to the left. Hopefully that made sense.

By the by, I thought this was a great way to get feedback about your logo. Cool idea!

my vote is #2 good luck.
