Title: Voting for Logo
Post by: Tenina on July 19, 2011, 01:22:14 am
Hi all,

Not sure if you care, but am hoping to get your opinion…can you all go visit [url]http://www.facebook.com/cookingwithtenina/[url]
and vote on my new logo options….need to get cracking and can't do much without a logo (I am finding!!)

Would love to know what you think of my options.
Thanks :)

Tenina

No sure what I am doing wrong here with the hyperlink…help Cookie…think you fixed me up last time didn't you? Techno challenged, clearly!

hi Tenina, I don't know much about facebook so I'll put my vote here. I like the second one with the bowl, but I think the T could be mistaken abit for a J and perhaps it could be a tad more bolder so that the bowl is not the main focus. The third one is very good too - very punchy and to the point.

ie. No. 1 = 2nd one  ;D

They are cute but I think Logo 3 is the better one as far as logos go..its bold, clear and would sit nicely on any page, document..thats my opinon..I think the others would get a little lost on a page...the cookie one is good too but i dont like the font..think it needs to be something clearer..a little too busy!  :)

She's a wonder indeed. We'd be lost without you Judy.

I love the cookie logo Tenina but agree the font need to be sorted.

Well that was a bit difficult to choose. I think my Vote is with the cookie with the rolling Pin. But maybe the font needs to be changed a little. Good luck with choosing. Hope all the votes don't make it more confusing

ok I had a little play and I was thinking something more like this...just a suggestion..sorry if Im overstepping any boundaries  ???

Forgive the botch job but is just to give you an idea..to do it properly you would need the original image !

Tenina do you have (i imagine yes) an agreement with Vorwerk for hte classes?? If so are you able to use for example the spatula instead of the rolling pin..just another thought???  Or have something thermomix in the logo or are the classes not really to do with thermomix??

I won't ask you how you did that Frozzie as your answer would probably be too technical for me to understand  :-)) :-))
I agree, very clever.

WOW Frozzie, that is so funny, loving your creativity! I should have come to you….and yes, I have now become totally confused. So much so, I am back at the drawing board. But it is all part of the process I guess. I do have the Thermomix nod of approval and I did think of using the spatula as it is so recognizable, but decided to steer clear of that relationship at the moment. You can imagine, this was not an easy move for me to make…so one day at a time!

thanks for all the support, the bookings for my class are coming in thick and fast and it is only a week away and I have no artwork yet, great menu tho'

Making your own malt
Cheating Sourdough, quick and easy
Umami paste
Infused chilli oil
Cauliflower cream
Citrus and kalamata olive salt (plus lots of other ideas for flavoured salts, creams and oils)
Yellow Curry Paste
Curried Butternut Soup
Lime and Chicken Mexican Soup
Rhubarb and Strawberry Dessert Soup with Pistachio, Nougat Gelato Garnish

And that's just the begninning guys, so tell your friends, Advanced classes are the way to go!
Looking forward to seeing you all sooner or later, where ever you live!

xx

Hi Tenina

Logos arent easy to get right and totally understand the confusion as it needs to be something that stands out but that also represents you and what your doing...yes big move and you must have so much going on at the moment...just a thought though...you are going for advanced classes so not so mum in the kitchen or basic classes so maybe your logo should be less homey and more professional if you get my meaning...maybe do a search online for logos and get some ideas of what your after and go from there (if you havent already done that).  If I can help in any way just let me know (re graphics design) however with such a short deadline I imagine you will need someone in the same time zone haha!

Pity I live so far away or I would have loved to have come to some of your classes...sounds good...never know maybe on one of our trips down under.

I guess re the spatula and working it into the logo could be a future addition if wanted as Im sure its all daunting enough without having the burden of keeping up with the repuation of the Thermomix brand and or if you wanted to expand into other areas at a future date it would limit you or you would have to create another logo  :-\...

in any case good luck with it all and look forward to hearing how it all turns out!  :)

Thanks Frozzie, yes you are right on just about all of it…have looked, want homey to a degree, but not so homey that I paint myself into a corner…should have come to you in the beginning…and you never know, I might have to come do a class in France, for ONE!

Talk soon  ;D

That would be fun Tenina..a class in France  :)...might have to keep you to that  ;)    In any case i wish you all the best and cant wait to hear back about how your first class went and knowing this forum Im sure I will  ;D

Probalby would have been a huge help if you would have come to the forum members earlier...im pretty sure there are many who have other talents and would have been more than willing to help out...its easy though saying that in hind sight I know...im sure you will get it all together in time though...and as they say in France....courage!!!  :)

OK guys, how do I post a pic up here? I want to put my class menu up from Facebook, but looking looking, cant figure out how!

Tenina I use photobucket but I think others do it much easier than that. Could you copy and paste? I'm not very IT minded.

When you reply to a thread there is  additional options at the bottom of the page, if you click on that you have the choice to add a photo. You just have to be careful on the size of your attachment doesn't exceed that stated. Hope that helps Tenina
