REQ-LOGO $100 Herbal Medicine Logo

[dezinerite]

Professional logo required for herbal medicine / alternative medicine / herbs information website. The logo may also be used for business cards. So I need something that looks simple but has an intelligent logo concept.

The main logo should read: Herb, H, or HERBsc (herb and sc as an abbreviation for "source", has to be clearly 2 separate bodies, for example the WebMD logo). Would love a custom icon that includes a leaf, or a small plant, or the Yin and Yang symbol.

The slogan at the moment is: The Herb Source or Herb Source or "Your Source for Everything HERB". You may or may not include any of this.

Colour requirement: I like green with grey, green gradient, burgundy, etc. But you're driving the car here so I will let you decide!

End time and date: 9th December, 2016 at 5pm (+8GMT)

Size Requirements: Wide. It will take up a space at the corner of the website but the files will need to be large enough and sized down.

File requirement after winning: please submit the winning design in .psd, .png (transparent bg)

Prize: 100 USD, payment via PayPal (may be able to offer other methods e.g. WU, Alipay, Wechat).

I don't know if I missed anything but feel free to ask me questions. I will come by often to check the thread and to revert with feedback.

Thank you all in advance for your participation!

Hi all, sorry I haven't really said much in the past few days, I was waiting to see if there would be more submissions, then provide feedback.

I noticed that everyone has decided to use the same texts herbsc and the same description. I would have liked to see some alternative texts as mentioned on my first post.

Although I am quite happy with some of the logo (image design part) concepts, I feel that none of the text or fonts part of the logo hit the mark. Colour is not really a big deal because this can be edited. But when I browse through the other threads, some designs have integrated both image and text merged into one design, instead of having a separate text and image.

In this sense, I feel that not enough effort was put in designing the text. Many or all are regular or commercial fonts used, no customized or editing to make it specifically for my brand.

As there are only a few days left for this contest, I would like to offer some direction to all who have joined and akdo to anyone who would still like to participate.

I see that a few members have used leaves in a Yin Yang sphere. I like these designs very much. The designs WITHOUT the 2 small inner circles are really good. Would really like to see if someone can design a version of this that is not spherical, perhaps one one side some small pieces of the leaf part is breaking away and on the opposite side the leaf is coming together. But all this while maintaining simplicity.

Thank you all so much for your participation and effort. It means a lot.

Thanks for your submission. The lighter green is definitely the way to go in terms of green colour scheme, it has a modern look to it. I feel that the chosen font is a bit illegible, e.g. the "e" and the "s". But I like how the r somewhat connects to the b, the top of the b can even be transformed into a plant.

Good direction, but can be developed a bit more in terms of corporate identity.

Thanks!

Hope you like my proposal. Thanks

Thank you to everyone who have already submitted designs, I will wait for a few more until I submit more feedback.

I want to add that there should be emphasis placed on the logo concept more than anything else, I want the logo to be original and unique in a way that as soon as you see it, you can identify the brand or website.

Please do not design 100% according to my feedback and description with very little input from yourself. The concept should come from you, after all, that is why I need the help of a logo designer.

Additionally, anyone who wants to include a modified Yin and Yang inspired symbol, please note that the symbol requires half to be of the same colour as the small circle that is located on the other half. Part of the meaning is that they are opposites but they are intertwined.

Would love to see some of the other members' designs.

BTW as for the colors I mean green OR burgundy, not green AND burgundy, heheh...sorry I wasn't too clear on that before.

Wait, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't say everything must be in the same uniform colour.

What I was trying to explain that for the Yin Yang symbol, there is the left side and the right side. Each side has a small circle inside.

The colour of the right side has to be the same colour as the small left circle, and the colour of the left side has to be the same colour as the small right circle.

Hi, I really like this design, would like to see the text HERB or herb, all caps or all lowercase, and a dot between herb and sc. sc can also be either all caps or all lowercase as long as there is a clear distinction between herb and sc. The herb word should stand out much more than the sc. Thanks.

Ok so the deadline has passed. I will consider all the submissions very carefully and revert shortly with the winner of the competition.

I like the small image. Any chance you can somehow turn the side space of the image into Yin and Yang? Or would that create too much of an imbalance?
