Another design a logo thread!

Sirrel Squirrel · 26 Oct 2010 at 09:23

My wife is setting up a wedding planning business, the website is nearly ready but I feel the logo I've come up with needs some tweaking, so thought I'd post it here and see if anyone can improve it or come up with something different.

The site is http://mia-media.co.uk/ocuk/vwp where you can see my current design.

I've uploaded a PSD of the butterfly image and a PSD of the logo you can see on the site:

Butterfly - http://mia-media.co.uk/ocuk/header_large_bf.psd

Current Logo - http://mia-media.co.uk/ocuk/header_small_bf.psd

There's no requirement to use these but I do like the butterfly image. Only requirement is that the logo has to be 90px high although I can just scale it if it's made in Illustrator or something.

Cheers!

Are the weddings traditional or modern? Or a mix?

Sirrel Squirrel · 26 Oct 2010 at 09:57

A mix really but I'd rather push for the modern theme.

Looks good but I think the butterfly should be slightly smaller?

I like your existing logo.

Any chance of a preview of the top of the site with the current logo?

sigh nevermind .. lol

How much width can we use?

bloodiedathame · 26 Oct 2010 at 10:29

Uppercase looks very shouty Casdawer. Though the positioning of the butterfly works better.

Casdawer · 26 Oct 2010 at 10:29

This size?

It's a work PC so i don't have all the custom fonts that i have at home - will try and get some better ones.

Thanks for pointing that out gord, never noticed that but now it's all I can see

Quite like that casdawer, lowercase would probably look better.

Casdawer · 26 Oct 2010 at 10:33

Might look better without the bevel and maybe the butterfly could do with a little less stark contrast colour wise. I think a line-art type butterfly would work better.

If I was being hyper critical I'd say the same about the bevel, it muddies the pink too much. Could work better with a stroke but might then be overpowering.

Perhaps you should visit your opticians as I can see it just fine.
