Hi David,

It’s funny how we can each interpret images differently, and that’s what makes this design special for me. Thanks for re-visiting my old post.

I know this is an old post but I’ve just read the comments and I’m surprised how many people saw an ‘e’ first. All I saw for a while was the spoon and egg superimposed on a black orb – kind of a vase and two faces situation I guess. As such, I think I understand why the designers wouldn’t opt for a more egg shaped ‘e’.

If you take the handle off the spoon (ie. fill with black for people who see the black as positive space), you get a striped egg centered on a black ellipse with quite beautiful weight distribution – almost like a plate. Making the contours of the e parallel to the egg shape might not have been as easy on the eye. Just my opinion obviously – maybe they just tried it like this and liked it.

I did not get what the fuss was about at first and then I saw the spoon! This logo really is eggcellent! Sorry couldn’t help myself :)

good Idea, but I think the user will not know its an egg in a spoon ..
it looks like internet explorer icon .. which is overused ..

I like it... as a a first attempt at the concept. I reckon it could still do with some work. My main beef is with the crossbar, which is a bit too thick and adds a weird shadow between the egg and the spoon. That grumble aside, it's a damn fine idea.

It’s definitely no yoke, John. ;)

The designers of this logo were’t yolking around with this – brilliantly bold with a beautifully balanced negative shape. The sheer simplicity and strength is inspirational. My guess is this is no 4 minute egg in terms of conception and gestation, must have taken considerable time and effort.

Hello Amanda,

I like the idea behind your own design, and would love to see it once their site is live.

How interesting (and of course it’s a flippin’ brilliant design).

I did something very similar (I hadn’t seen this at the time of course! lol), a month or so ago for a client.

The company name was Active Dental, and the first ‘A’ is lowercase in the design. The shape that goes into the ‘a’ is that of a dentists mirror (you know those tiny mirrors they look at your teeth with).

I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself very well and their site isn’t live yet for me to show you :)
