Needs


Design a clear and trendy logo for a new vegan/vegetarian blog/website and cafe called The Little Plantation
The logo needs to be
- easily readable
- trendy but not pretentious
- simple
- ideally using no more than 3 colours, including dark grey as a background (think writing on a blackboard/stamp/distressed/vintage)
- logo should work well as top of a website and banner above a cafe
- the logo should communicate elegance and simplicity and is aimed mainly at affluent women in their 20's, 30's and 40's, although not too girly please
we are looking for 2 logos - 1 the main banner ( payment 100Euros)
+
an abbreviated logo i.e. just taking the main initials of the main logo OR using just a symbol from the main logo (payment 50euros)

Company description


The Little Plantation is a food blog/cafe that serves vegetarian food, juices, coffee and vegan treats

Target group


Mainly middle class women in the 20-50 but logo should appeal to as broad a market as possible

Colors, favourites and other requirements


I am open to lots of ideas BUT in my mind the logo is:

dark grey (or very dark green/grey)! background

Writing:
contrasting colour
i.e. bright or pastel yellow
off white/white
pastel purple
pastel green or blue

It needs to be clear that this is a logo for a food/drink/vegetarian site NOT a gardening site

hi venusinblack,

I send you a new design where I tried to place the elements inside the grey area. I think it gives the parts more structure. Let me know what you think. Regards

I think you are right - it's nice to have it framed, but the square doesn't pull at my heart. How about the circle with the leaves below? I like the font here.

I really like the simplicity of this and the two fonts are really pretty. The circle is really delicate, but perhaps taking centre stage rather than the letters and I'd love for it to be the other way around.
As per my feedback to one of the ther designers, I am wary about using too many pinky candy colours and going too girly. Any chance we could change that. Really sweet design
Thanks

Thanks for this. I think the proportions work much better. I feel though like the design is not quite confident enough and a bit timid. Not sure how that can be changed... I hope that makes sense.

:) Love the cripsness of this one. But feels like the veg is perhaps a little to big in proportion to the words. Really nice though otherwise.

Thanks you So much :)
I LOVE the -since 2014-. I prefer this to your previous design as it much easier to read and that's important. I also wonder whether letters can be white/off white for clarity and colour can be brought in via a little symbol? Thanks again

sure I can make the fonts in white. I will try not to use so curly fonts. What kind of symbol you had in mind? Some vegetables or something related to coffee?
