mark: brilliant.
the rest: not.

comment on mark: i would have softened the corners a little bit by *slightly* rounding them so they’re not so prickly. almost to the point of imperceptible. one could argue that it leaves it open to a serif or sans.

perhaps even slightly arcing the top of the mark a little. it feels like it needs something on top of it being so flat.

greetings from Northwestern USA.

The logo is quite original and clever.
But the purple gradient and the border around it is just horrible :(

I really like this logo design it is clever yet so simple. i think my favorite logos are the ones like this a clever idea that communicates with simplicity. It is also certainly worth checking out the 300million website. The website design is different to any site I have seen before plus there is some really great work on there to.

Anne,

The move is going well thanks. I’ve not come across any blackberry bushes yet, but I’ll not miss an opportunity. ;)

Lauren,

This one also reminded me of the Egg n Spoon design. Two excellent uses of negative space.

Jonathan,

Thanks for that ‘conception logo’ link. Great stuff.

Ram, diding,

Good of you both to add your thoughts.

I think! might be the concept for that ‘Conception’ logo in the Chase’s portfolio is different with ‘The Guild of Food Writers’ logo, same treatment but different concept. We have to see the process and concept, before give a comment for both.

‘Conception’ logo: sperm and circle :))
‘The Guild of Food Writers’ logo: spoon and pen (nice logo but lost concept in website)

A pearl bead in a mud hole doesn’t look very nice……

Oddly enough LaurenMarie, I just found this ‘Conception’ logo whilst browsing The Chase’s portfolio that’s quite similar to both the egg-n-spoon logo, and the Guild Logo:

Beautiful simplicity!

Reminds me very much of the Egg-n-Spoon logo. It was great there and it is also here. I love clever logos like this! LaurenMarie - Creative Curio's last blog post...Enhance Your Designs with the Principle of Economy

Very interesting range of comments. I have to say I’m in somewhat of a minority based on these comments – I initially saw the spoon, but it took me a good while to see the pen nib, whereas most people who didn’t initially ‘get’ both, saw the pen. I also thought I saw a keyhole and perhaps a stylised tulip… ah well, I guess it’s good to be individual…

btw, hope the move is going well, David… remember to take time out to pick blackberries once you get there ;-)
