It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

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

Another design, and some ideas for color options.

Thanks for this. I am more drawn to your other design, but must admit that this is probably a bit closer to my original brief:)

This contest is finished. Its not possible to reply anymore.

Here's something a bit different; the design is hand-lettered and hand-drawn. The lettering is based on an Art Nouveau typestyle, and is feminine and decadent without being overtly frilly or pretentious, and it adds a unique touch to a decidedly modern design. I chose sage, asparagus, spinach, and an artichoke for the drawing as they are all green plants and I wanted to keep the color scheme simple. If you are interested in this design please let me know and I'll be happy to upload some other options. Thanks. -Kiki

Hi Kiki
thank you SO much for this design. I really like that you've done your own thing and not followed the mould or copied someone else's idea. I am quite moved by the detail and your hard work and inspired by this design overall. I find it stunning. I especially like your interpretation of 'vintage'. :)
Thank you.
