thanks for a very interesting and instructive site.

I prefer the second as the other (noted above) is rather Teutonic and militaristic for the product represented, also there is a connection between the name of the rose symbol and the company ie”Tudor” also the font used for the first might suit the rose better,

Thanks

I wish I earned £60k-85k a year! I really like this logo david the symbol / heraldic mark is especially excellent. It is sometimes difficult to make detailed symbols attractive but you have done a very good job by making the heraldic mark bold with the use of a fill. Good work.

Hi, mmm I think the client made the wrong choice. I personally like the eagle one, it is powerful but simple. However it does not speak ” linen company” to me but has more of a “spirits logo” feel to it. The Tudor Rose logo does not have the same impact as does the eagle or phoenix, but I feel it represents the age, and feel of a linen company. Good work.

I feel the first logo is the best suitable for 45-65 age group, way above the tudor rose one. But I like all of in the sketches, specifically those with the medival wepons.

Good site, good presentation.
First one is altogether better than the second one, but when fixing attention on details in both designs:
- The first one’s balance is its main advantage over the second one, but I don’t really like the herald, it looks somehow tangled though goes well with the font.
- The second logo doesn’t sit as integrated, but the rose attracts your look, and keeps doing it periodically (and I wouldn’t say it’s less royal than the emblem in the first one). And to my opinion it would go well with linen products, not only because it could symbolise softness and tender, but also it turns to a lively spot (doesn’t matter how small) on a clean material (linen) that does attract a view (with this word I had another desire to look at the rose once again :)
But again, the first one is altogether better.
Thanks.

sampada,

I appreciate your comments, and don’t worry that they’re taken out of context. You ask a very good question. One that should be addressed in a blog post of its own, so stay tuned.

Sorry it took so long to respond. I seem to have missed these last few comments.

Brad,

Few brands can relate all there is to say.

I agree, most certainly in the case of the logo / mark. Thanks for replying to sampada’s comment.

Max, Aravind, Springleap,

Cheers for leaving your preference.

Jason,

I always use Adobe Illustrator when creating logos. You’ll find it’s the current industry standard.

Aaron, John, Jamie, Bhutan,

Again, thanks very much for commenting. Good of you to take the time.
