    Logo input please

    Any suggestions or ideas for this logo? Client wants strong tree imagery, grasses and flowers — one symbol for each to represent their brand and company. They sell native plants. I think this is close but seem to have hit a wall.

    Not sure what to do with the word American. Is the logo in general hard to read?

    Thanks!

    Thanks! Not sure how to salvage the first one. I think it has potential though.

    I made a few changes to the second one. I think the word Native looks better now that it fits into the contour of the tree. I also like how the word nursery is closer to the rest of the words.

    Changed the fonts a bit. Think Nursery could be a bit bigger but let's see what the client thinks.

    I think this is best, than your second modification, the fonts are good, and the symbols are on the logo

    i agree, great improvement. I would choose another text inside the tree instead of green. Look at your logo with squezed eyes, the two green colors blend. It will also be less readable when the lgo is smaller

    The second logo probably looks better, maybe the first is lacking some additional colours for contrast. It definitely looks really professional. Congratulations.

    I didn't mind the native part of your first logo.

    Your last one definitely works a lot a better though.
    To me it's missing something though. Have you tried a light green (same as AMERICAN) around the whole tree. It might give it a little more life.

    Nice work.

    Extremely well done job. if you're willing to try something out, just change the color of Native to white, to see how it looks like. But it's extremely good already.

    The 2nd version of the 2nd logo i like it.I like a lot the proportions of the words and also the contrast between them. The fact that "american" and "nursery" are sanserif makes a more pleasent contrast with "native" wich is serif. Also the different kerning of "nursery" ads a contrast to the word and also it makes it look in harmony with the whole logo. So in my opinion not the 3rd but the 2nd version is the best.
    For the 1st logo maybe a bolder font for "native" can help it little be more readable

    Give a little more emphasis on the tree, I guess...

    I really liked the feel of the first design...the yellow is not visually appealing with the green (personally maybe) I think white would better but I'd have to see it.

    changes you've made at the 2nd one are good (especially the font). the 1st one has to many eye-catching details that are not inter-connected which makes it confusing and hard to capture.

    Second one for sure is way better than the first one.... But how about adding a little bit of grass (no more than 2 -3 threads) on the sides of "NURSERY" in the same color, so that you can catch this last element also?
