I very muched liked both concepts (1 and 3).

I noticed though that in the “oodlesConcepts.jpg” pic that you provide, the featured logo is different. The paintbrush has been moved to the right and removed from the ‘l’.

To be honest I also prefer No 1 better, although it could use some improvements. I like No 1 and 3 concepts very much but what if you could combine them in some way?

In No1 there’s no apparent info on the actual service offered (painting) so perhaps maybe implement a subtle looking paintbrush like you did in No3. Also, no matter how nice the ‘heart-star-circles cloud’ looks I think it will be tough to show correct on paper and smaller sizes like business cards.

What I like a lot about No1: The look of professionalism it demonstrates along with an obvious scent of playfulness and joy.

No3 however nice and more “to the point” looks more like a graffiti of some sort.
I can really imagine though No3 logo drawn on the door of a white car. It would make a great effect and urge you to take a look.

Other than that I completely agree with the article on pretty much every aspect (especially the drop shadow and the size of the ‘of’ word).

Couple of thoughts about the other concepts:

No2 is possibly the 3rd best (after 1 and 3). Needs some typeface adjusting (i.e. too much letterspace between the first two O’s ) and maybe some layout adjusting in the typeface as well, perhaps some vertical distance between the words Oodles and Doodles.

No4 - very pretty but loses too much detail when sized down, I can barely read by dawn and I can’t tell what the little yellow graphic in the middle is.

No5 - Instantly reminded me of Google. Not a wise choice in my honest opinion. I think it’s the colors and the double O’s. I would want something unique that identifies my company and not some huge corporate giant.

No 6 - no no no

No 7 - Very nice too but I something is missing, can’t exactly say what, but maybe it looks too ‘usual’? Can’t really express it.

Overall, great work! I think with a few alterations and maybe combination of concepts 1 and 3 the logo will be superb.

Thank you for all the commments and suggestions.  I’m very greatful and they all have been very helpful.  I hope to send the revised logo with all or most of the suggestions. I was a bit worried about comments that some friends and family made on the logo.

Can you look and see if you see what they see.  I what to change it right away if you also notice it too.  This what they mentioned.  A friend of mine son made this comment when he look over his email I sent her to get comments on the logo. 

This is what he said my son asked..“why does it have a penis in it?” I didn’t see it at first but he showed me that the green bottle with the yellow cap looks similar to that of the male sex. I just thought I’d give you a head’s up, in case you .  My father also said it look a bit like it too.  My logo will be used for just about everthing so you see where my concern is.

Thanks a million
Dawn

Dawn,

If your concerned at all, just rework the drawing of the paint tube. There’s no reason to move forward with a logo that represents you and your business if you’re having thoughts of inappropriate imagery in the back of your mind. I think you could easily adjust the drawing to eliminate the problem.

Anyway, I obviously didn’t see it before, or I would have mentioned it in my critique, but after you described it, I could see how someone could think that (though I think most people wouldn’t).

Maybe you should see all the concepts here

Excellant post the drop shadow is such an eighties thing i agree it has to go..

Hi,
I going to start a home business pretty soon, but the thing is I don’t know anyone personally to find out how to go about starting one. So I wanted to know what are the things I need to know and things I need to do before I jump in, preferably from people who have home businesses or who are planning to start one as well.By the way I live in Toronto, Canada. If I could get some info and advice from you all, I would appreciate it!

Color is considered important to brand recognition, but it should not be an integral component to the logo design, which could conflict with its functionality. Some colors are formed/associated with certain emotions that the designer wants to convey.

Logo is something that is most important for your business. I hope to get more information here.

Thanks for the awesome material here. I was looking for something like that for quite a while and at last I have discovered it here. Your web page is better than others because of useful and significant material. Keep publishing them later on too, I will be awaiting that..
