Logo Design - Crown Bees - $50

sf2010, thanks for your quick submission. The concept is a good start. anyway to change out the bee for something that isn't a honeybee/bumblebee? The stripes are the telltale that will get me in trouble. Cute bee...

I will enter.thank you for the invitation!

hi this my 1st entry for this contest ^^

here's my try. feedback appreciated!

dlght, i'm not a fan of this font. didn't like this particular crown either.


Josephine, interesting first concepts... the "Lord's" hat isn't quite right either. The bee isn't there yet.


All contestants: The bee might wind out tripping you up. although it's in the company's name, it has a distinctive look that really looks like a house fly but it's not. As a result, I don't know if much of anything will work. However, SF2010 was a close "cute" look. the stripes on the bee made it a honeybee/bumblebee. but it helped the "casual" person know it was a bee vs just some winged insect.

I'll wait until the end of today before I comment back. I think a few others will join the excitement and I'd like to help steer things if I can find something that "reaches out".

thank you for your quick submissions!

here is a first concept from me
please feedback




regards

Jurrie

Scorpion... that's the bee. Nice outline.

The font seems to be a bit too formal.

You have the seperate mason bee on the C in the upper right. Rather then the bee sitting on the C, does it sit on some sort of crown?

is the W in Crown a crown of some nature?

Not sold on the shadows underneath. ...at least this shadow.

thanks!

here is a different approach

Jurrie, Dank u. Dit is een uniek idee! Is there a slightly different shape that has one immediately understanding? For example, the wings might start a bit further back. ...and there are antenna that could be positioned off the C?

Or am I seeing things? I feel as though this is an insect (bee) outline.

Wat

hey Dave,
cool on the dutch , grin
it is supposed to be a bee outline, on the first sample,
i think it is more clear on the second submission i did, i will change that on the first one if you want that

let me know

Jurrie, at this early juncture, I'm wide open to a variety of concepts. That's what makes NamePros such collection of unique people.

Wait before you go too far on a bee idea. I'd like to provide solid input tonight/early tomorrow. Your concept has merit at this point!

here's two other concepts with different bee.

My try.
Feedback please

Thank you all for these unique designs. I hope my feedback is taken as constructive rather then critical!

sf2010 - typeface is ok, but it needs more "life?" Also, the bee shape needs to adjust.

Josephine - with 3 bees (2nd entry) the typeface seems dated. not a bad concept though. could you soften the angles in the thorax and take away the stinger?

Scorpionagency - I like this one. the contrast is nice, it's fairly simple. no shadows please(or different). it would be interesting to see this without the light gray border around everything?

Jurrie - the flower design was the better of your two. though there's a bit too much air in the whole design. The word "crown" gets lost. Unique design, but it's not a favorite.

Josephine, your last design with the branch is a favorite as well. The bee needs to be more mason bee... Could you change the typeface to a more simple one? it feels a bit too busy. The brown crown color isn't the right color... (not sure what color) The flowers are a good feature. Could you try some variations on these?

Alihs - this didn't work for me. thanks.

Kosvam - Unique! but it also doesn't work for me. could you try something more "friendly" and less "new age"? My average user today is probably 50ish and more female then male.

Dlight - your second entry is a close favorite. We have to shift bees from honey to mason... please see my initial attachments. This is a simple design that works for me. Can you play a bit with it? no stinger, no yellow...

Ancitis - too cartoon for me. however, to shift this into an "art deco" creation might be interesting.

Thanks all. I truly appreciate the inspirations.
