Hello, while the idea is nice, it is over thought and designed. too much imagery for a logo. This would be good as a painting but not a logo. A logo should be strong in design but also simple. A simplified image would be better with just the elements- the church with the windows, opened door and the sun with 2 to 3 colors only.

Thank you for the feedback on my logo project brief description at DesignCrowd entitled: Online Christian Counseling/Coffee Break Counseling. For the purpose of a logo design, simplicity is best, but I am still looking for some of those same elements in the simplicity, i.e. (attractive, relaxing, and Christian). The Christian faith is central to the services and products that I will be offering. So, one obvious element in the logo design should be something that communicates that identity, i.e. (New England Church, Cross, Bible, maranatha fish symbol...). For my design, I am okay with either the New England Church or a cross. I am not big on the fish or Bible symbol in the logo. I love the New England Fall Folage, (changing leaf color). Most people who have ever seen pictures of it agree that it is both eye catching and beautiful to look at. Having three trees in the background of the central image(s) with orange, red, and yellow colors might be another element to include to represent beauty. The final element to represent relaxation might include a traditional stone white coffee cup in the foreground with a blue band around it and a little steam coming off of the top to indicate that there is something in it.

Putting it all together then, here is a simplified logo design composition that could work for me. One scenario would be to have a coffee cup as described above in the foreground with a brown verticle cross off to the left side and the fall colored trees as mentioned above sitting in the background. The logo text and caption would fall directly beneath the images. Scenario two could be to include a simplified/modified version of the New England Church in the foreground with the fall colored trees in the background. The logo text and caption would be placed directly below the images. Scenario Number three might be to exclude the trees and in its place put mountain peaks in the background with a vertical wooden brown cross on the left of the central image in the foreground with our coffee cup placed back in as the cnetral image. The logo text and caption would directly follow below the images.

I hope that this has given you and perhaps others some further direction on the type of logo design that I am looking for. I believe that the above type of design is certainly doable. I would like the colors to really standout, i.e. (attractive and eye catching). I have included the elements that are most important to me. Thanks for listening! I look forward to viewing your work soon:)

Sincerely,



Mark Green
