What colors would you like?

Options are: Possibly keep the original color green, yet use it in a unique way. I would like a metallic silver, or brushed silver somewhere. Maybe a silver ring around the logo, or maybe touches of silver here and there on the petals. I'm open to ideas! I don't want it to be too pretty. Must be sophisticated. Go to our website: www.dahliaonline.com for reference. I am using Benjamin Moore's "cactus flower" paint color on the house, and I could see this color mixed with shades of orangey pinks and lemon yellow. I also like denim blue, and the lighter color blue that is on our website: www.dahliaonline.com I also have thought using color just here and there on the petals. So, color as an accent, like it is now, but in a new way.

How many colors do you want in your design?

not sure

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

I would like a subtle watermark of our signature "dahlia diamond" which is on our website, at the top, and if you scroll over it, a story about it pops up: www.dahliaonline.com.
Please keep the logo very simple, very dramatic and memorable.
Maybe the dahlia flower should be more of a artist's rendering, or maybe more photographic quality, more realistic.
I love petals! Petals! Petals! Petals! Petals!
I had considered moving the dahlia bloom to the upper right of the design (enclosing the design in a brushed metallic silver ring), and having the same type of dahlia petals everywhere inside the ring, with a large "D" over the top.
Remove the swoosh over the "a", possibly.
I love the three dimensional quality of the dahlia flower in my original logo. It almost looks like the bloom "pops" off the page! I also love the rounded petals. I don't want spikey petals. No center dot in the dahlia.
What about a spiraling of petals outward?

Attention Designers, You may upload multiple variations of one logo in one draft for the presentation purpose. However, winner of the contest will have to send final files with each version separated hence, one file should only have one color version of the finalized logo. We would appreciate your cooperation in this regards. Thanks!

Designers, Raster based design will not be accepted as winner, so you all are advised to submit only vector based designs. Good Luck!! -Steve

draft #5 Thank you for entering my second project! This is very close to what I'm looking for, but the dahlia bloom looks static, not 3d. See how on my original logo the petals curl slightly outward? The dahlia bloom is actually almost like a ball; Very globe like. Not flat. Thank you so much, I hope you can make it look more globular!

draft #7 thank you for the update! Is there any way to get my dahlia diamond in there - a blade of grass looped with a bead? Thank you, again. Also, the center of the dahlia bothers me - can it be more petals? Awesome!

draft #10 and draft #11, these both have a 3d dahlia, which I'm looking for. However, I want my logo to be overall round. draft #11 your interpretation of the dahlia flower is my favorite so far! However, I don't like the abrupt ending of it on the left. draft #11 please use the font that I have on my original logo for the word "dahlia".

draft #1, cool use of the D! However, I need a large bloom somewhere. And the word dahlia to be easily read. Thank you, and looking forward to seeing your revision. Please refer to my uploaded logo.

draft #2 - no center dot, please. Love the fading on text. Could you change it to the font on my current logo, on the word "dahlia"? Thank you!

The difference: Contest #1, "Dahlia a Florist": Designers only given a description of my shop. I wanted fresh eyes. I LOVED seeing what you awesome designers would do, just from my description. Contest #2, "Dahlia Updated Logo": Designers are given my current logo as a launching point. In This contest, I uploaded my logo, because I want to see how you all can expertly update my current logo. I want my current customers to recognize the logo, but see that is freshened up. Thanks for the question, and I can't wait to choose a winner for both contests!
