Input on these designs

[spraguedesigns]

Hi, I would love some input on these designs. They are for a womens line of hair and skin products that I am creating for my client. Right now these are not vectored or finalized.. just concepts.. I think with the 1st one, maybe changing to drops instead of circles? It should convey simplicity...

I like three, cool font for simply and mica is made very "green" with the foliage in the text. I dont think I like the blue color for mica though,but the overall design is fresh.

i would get rid of the drop shadow on the first one its way too big and there really is no need for shadows ever on logos or much else

I really like the colors you chose in the first logo (green/orange/magenta). I agree that you do not need the drop shadows. I like the font choice for MICA but think you should consider another font for SIMPLY. The SIMPLY font looks too "technical" or "digital" and the condensed MICA looks more elegant and appealing for a hair care product. Hope that makes sense. Good luck!

hmm...the colors are good, i like the design. The first one, the reflection needs to be taken away. It really takes away from the logo and makes it look awkward. also the lines on the first one in orange, im not to fond of. Like the custom font on the second ones though. keep it up!

I think that the knocked out flower detail might not scale well... Do a print check maybe at 1.5inches wide. Remember how tiny some skin care packaging is - especially those little mineral containers!

I agree with the others... the reflection is not necessary and muddies the design. I like the colors. Bright, fun, lively.

Being that your client is likely to use the logo on all kinds of packaging, it might be a good idea to keep the number of colors down and not rely on gradients or effects such as the reflection. Colors and screens can be costly in some applications. Since your client is a startup, they might be budget conscious.

Keep up the good work!

Agreed... the reflection is too much. I like the handwritten looking font on the third design-- though you might make it a bit smaller so it doesn't overwhelm the MICA. I like the font for MICA used in the first logo. The leaves seem arbitrary... perhaps you could incorporate the ideas of "drops" in another way.

i like the colors on the first one. my only suggestions are to take away the shadow... or change its opacity and make the pink bubbles smaller and reduce the number to 4 or 5. you've got a good start

I am also gonna go with the first one.. w/o shadow.. i am not sure if drops are better than dots.. but either way, if you are trying to convey simplicity, i would say you could drop at least two of em..
