The Potting Shed

Leonie2 · Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 2:45 pm Post subject: Logo

We're designing a logo for our bathroom installation business. I have two logos and not sure which one is better.

The first one is simplified image of a water droplet representing a person standing with arms raised as if in a shower (we install wetrooms and state-of-the-art showers too).

The second one is a water splash against a tile. Tiling is also a big part of the business.

I'm really not sure which one is better, the first one to me is a stronger image, when reduced down to a small size it makes for a strong image. The second one when reduced down to a small size looks washed out in colour. We've tried darkening the tile but it doesn't look right.

I'd like to get some feedback about which one you prefer and any ideas for changing the logos to make them better. I want something simple, clear and modern. What do you think of them, honest opinions please?

I like them both, but thought the top one looked like a tulip. (you did say be honest)

You could always use a different blue for the bottom one - you get dark blue colours in the sea after all?

I prefer the bottom one. Smile

Thanks

Lottie, we were also worried that the top one looks like a flower or seed pod of some sort. I have tried darkening the bottom one a bit, not as much as the first time we darkened it, and it does look better.

I prefer the bottom one too, not that the other one isn't good as well Smile

I'm with Haize on this. Can't see the symbolism in the first, although both really are very very good.

Add another log splash to the bottom and remove one of the smaller ones. Make the added splash look like the overal thing is also a stylised hand taking take of the customer.
