Customized Organic Food-$150-May 21st

[nevadabadgirl]

Contest_Holder: arvernus

Company_Details: We're a start-up from Germany and intend to bring customized organic food to our customers.

Type_Of_Contest: Logo Design

Title: Logo for customized organic food onlineshop

Deadline: 5/21/2008

Prize: $150

Colors: surprise us

Comments: The customers can customize their personal food by mixing several ingredients on our website and get their mix (cereals, tea, gorp, spices, etc.) shipped home. The ingredients they can choose from are all organic and our products match highest quality standards. The logo should represent this.

Our company's name is 'ichmixe' which is german for imix. ich = i mixe = mix If you need to know any translations, don't hesitate to ask! The logo should not be too supercharged, just a neat, not too complicated logo. It should be professional and confidence inspiring, because our business is about food. The company name should appear in (or next to, below, ...) the logo. Thanks to every participant in advance!

We will retain all rights to the logo, but the winning designer may display it in their portfolio.

[arvernus]

Hello, here is my concept, mixing, organic(leaf) together....

First of all, thanks for your lightning fast response!
We do like the design of the "x" in your first post (and in post #5 even more) very much!

The dots on the "i"s are too dominant, in our eyes.
Does the logo above the text has a special meaning or is it just for design? We couldn't exactly find out what it represents.

The colors are not bad, but we're not so sure about them at the moment.

Thanks again for your great concept! We're looking forward to see more from you and other designers!

edit: After a second look at the b/w design, we noticed, that the logo is a leaf with a swirled stipe. We kinda like it, but it should be clearer.

Thanks

[rinaldidesigns]

Thank you for your feedback, the swirl represents the mixes you sell, and the leaf, the organic, from nature, healthy...I will finetune some more, and post some variations.....

Hi arvernus,

Here's my entry.
Organic, taking advantage of the motion/mixing flow of the letter "e", unique and tied concept...

Feedback is appreciated.

1st try...

[arvernus]

First of all we'd like to thank rinaldidesigns, guetizo and thenameisjolo for your participation in our contest!

@rinaldidesigns:
We really like your concept and are eager to see some more variations!
It would be great if you could modify the stipe to be a little cleaner/better to recognize.

@guetizo:
We like the idea of the leaf connected to the 'e', but the font appears a little bit old-fashioned and too squiggled. We find the colors of the second variation don't fit very well.

@thenameisjolo:
We are looking forward for some color and font variations and maybe a little fine tuning. We like your banner/flag idea very much!

@all:
We would appreciate a concept with a seperated logo next to the writing. Like for example something similar to the logo of rinaldidesigns.

Thanks again for your great artwork!

casperamy,

Thanks for your participation!
Although we like the concept of a dedicated logo next to the writing, we're not so happy with the logo itself and the font of the writing. We're more on the search for a 'solid' (built out of one piece) logo without a circle (or square, ..) around. It would also be great if you could use a font which is less swung and maybe modify it a little, so that it gets a unique look.
We would appreciate it if you'd give it another try as we think that although this specific logo was not exactly what we are looking for, the overall concept really is what we want.

Thanks for creating another version!

We actually like your entry #5 more. The 'x' was just perfect. It would be great if you could try to make the spiral a little more flat and a less irregular.
Otherwise, we still love your entry.
If we may add one favor, could you maybe add a version where the logo is left of the writing?

Thank you very much!

intrepidguppy,

I love the colors and the whole idea! Could you please make one version with 'ich' and one with 'mixe' in bold (the other word should in each case stay as is)?

Thanks a lot!

intrepidguppy,

thanks for your fast response! I'll post some more information very shortly.

[arvernus]

We just had an extraordinary meeting with all the company staff to discuss the logo designs.

We really appreciated all of your concepts and it was a really tough decision!
We finally came to the conclusion, that rinaldidesigns' design (Customized Organic Food-$150-May 21st) fits best to our company.

Could you, rinaldidesigns, please post a few more color combinations, please? Also, we'd like the upper left part of the 'x' (the one that's a bit seperated) to be in the same color like the rest of the word.

Thanks again to all participants - we really enjoyed the contest and we hope you did, too.

congrats rinaldi
