Lettered Olive Logo

Calling all opinions!
I am trying to settle on which “Lettered Olive” logo to go with.
Here are the seven choices I have designed. I love them all, but am curious as to which ONE gets the most instant gut reaction from you all.
(FYI: The “things” or “scribbles” on the left and right side of logo #1, #2, #4 and #6 are parentheses. I love the mixture of their organic-ness, next to clean, crisp type…yummy!)

I want EVERYONE who reads this post to please leave me a comment telling me which logo you like best. (Wonder how many people read this thing anyway?) It’ll only take a second, and I’m determined to get at least 200 opinions, so that I can make a very educated decision. This is super important to me, and I trust your opinions….you’re some stylish folks!

I should tell you a little bit about the thought process that went into the creation of these designs.
Lettered Olive is going to be about unique and inspiring cottage decor.
Our style is classic, organic, stylish and simple.
We love to mix clean-lined & fresh with time-worn & crusty.
A lot of what we create will be seaside-inspired, and other things will be farmhouse-fresh.
Lettered Olive will also offer both Interior and Landscape Design Consulting services.
I tried to design logos that I thought encapsulated what we’re all about.
Now it’s your turn to choose which you like best!

Ready? Set? COMMENT! 🙂

Edited on 9/14/08- Some folks have suggested I design a “more creative” logo. But I gotta say, “simple” seems to be where it’s at:

    #4 is a gorgeous, sophisticated font (what is it?) and #6 is a good upscale retail workhorse… my heart leans to 4, my life with bottom lines to 6. Great good luck!

    p.s. Did I mention I love 4?

    #5 is perfect. It has that typest letter thing which I think is kind of your signature. It is very similar to your blog logo which is awesome.
    BTW, good time to introduce myself and say I really enjoy your blog.

    PS-I have also voted for you for Design Star :0)

    I am going against the grian here…I LOVE #4, like blushing hostess.
    If you want a mix of classic/organic &crusty , #4 says it all.
    They are all beautiful, but #4 has crisp clean elegant letters , balanced by the organic aged leafy things. It's a little yin and yang.
    pick4!

    I’m going to answer before I read the comments. I like number 3 the bestest 🙂 and then number 5. I’m not crazy about the others~just my two cents 😉

    I like #3 the best but would like to see the braces (or brackets) above and below the words like in your blog “header”. I tried really hard to like the others but I just couldn’t get there.

    I like the font on 3. I think you could do the more speckled brackets with that font if the speckled parts are outside the brackets and not on top of the words. That font makes me think of olives or olive oil, so it seems very appropriate.

    Hi Layla,

    I like 3, with 5 coming in 2nd.

    Discovered your blog recently, now a regular.

    Cheers,
    Jo

    Hi from Sweden! 🙂

    I love your blog, but since I read it through Google Reader, I very seldom comment… (shame on me!)
    Anyhow, I like option no. 5 the best. I like the script ones, but I think they might seem too messy after a while. I like no. 3 as well, but I think it looks more classy with the capitals, and since that is what you want to communicate, I’d go for that one.
    Good job on picking out the options, though – all of them are really very nice!

    Number 6 is the one I find most appealing. Number 3 is nice but very safe (dare I say even a touch boring?) and to me doesn’t really say much about the “feel” or style of the business. For me 6 captures the clean, organic simplicity of 3 and then adds the time-worn and farmhouse or seaside feel too. But none of them are horrid so whichever one you go with will work as long as it’s what YOU really feel is the right one. Hope that’s not too much opinion. But you did ask… 🙂

    Hi Layla!

    My hubby and I own our own business, and the 1 piece of signing advice that we received was to keep the lettering simple so that it is easy to read and remember.

    I like #3.

    Best of luck to you both!

    Be more creative. There are so many fonts and you are about letters! Also…use color!

    #5 & #3 are my favorites since it's clean and crisp. The other ones seem a little messy.

  44. Faye

    I’m going for #4…I’m thinking #3 is just too common….I like the way #4 is just as simple, but just enough different to stand out.

  45. duchess

    Ok – without looking at everyone’s choices…..I’m going with either #5 or #1.
    Good luck – they all look great.
