Logo for MoneySane.com

MoneySane.com

Sensible money advice that promotes wellness

Yes

The best way to communicate this is to refer you to MoneySane.com and just read the home and about page...you will also see the colors that you may want to work around. The site is in embryo so just ignore the ugly banners, etc.

I want it to look fresh, clean, fun, and professional.

Whatever you do please don't think "Wells Fargo" just because it is personal finance. It needs to be super inviting, not intimidating. Professional but not cold, or wall-street.

See Design Happier http://design.happier.com/ I think I like the orange and I think it would go well with the blue on my website (moneysane.com), but I don't really know since I cannot see them together. I'm open to whatever. I'm even open to changing the blue on my website if the logo submitted doesn't work with it and it is compelling enough to do so....it just needs to stay in line with everything else I have mentioned.

not sure

I thought that I would give 3 examples of what I'm looking for--they are 3 of my favorite logos and I will be using them on my website in the same way:

-Mint.com https://www.mint.com/
its super simple, and communicates a ton!

-Design Happier http://design.happier.com/
This has everything I envision. Fun, Fresh, Simple and content. Also, I really like the orange and I think it would go well with the blue on my website, but I'm open to whatever. I'm even open to changing the blue on my website if the logo submitted doesn't work with it and is compelling enough to do so.

-Daily Worth http://dailyworth.com/
This is very clean but not too corporate. Love it! If possible, it would be cool to have MoneySane.com have a symbol incorporated into one or two of the letters... then include the text that I placed in the tagline so that it looks nice....similar to the http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/

    #25 pan755201, I really like #25 and as you can see I rated it accordingly. It is simple and incorporates both the "money" and "sane" aspects of moneysane.com.....however it is missing the "fun" side that all of Graciel's work has. The competition is almost over but I would be interested if seeing if you can make your design more fun. If I were starting a financial planning firm I would certainly choose #25 but that isn't the purpose. I would suggest using colors that are brighter and match the website better....it needs to be "younger" and designed less for 50-65year olds. Hope this helps and good luck! #33 Graciel, I actually like the brain thing a lot and I think it is what I want to go with but after I cut and pasted pictures of it and tried it on some of my material I realized that it is to tall. So lets try one last thing and if it looks the way I think it will then I'll go with it. Lets remove the shadow under the brain icon and move the brain to the left of the moneysane.com logo. Similar to #25. Lets keep the "Sensible money advice..." as one line under the moneysane.com logo (like #33) and use the same font you used on the first submission. You also may want to darken the brain just a little bit...not to much but just a little so it is easier to see. I feel pritty confident about how it will look and I appreciate all of the drafts you have done. As you can see, the only other submission that has received a four star rating is #25. Unless he comes back with something more "fun", I anticipate you being the winner.

    #s 10-21 Thanks for all the submissions...I'm not really sure what to say about all of them other than I like most of them (see each star rating) but as mentioned before--none bring the "sane" out in moneysane. Graciel I like number 18 but I wonder if you can make a few changes: can you make the icon cloud thing in the inside of it into a brain? it already looks similar to one and I think that might do it. Also can you make it tip a little less and the other direction? And lastly, can you make one with the "Sensible money advice..." as the actual bar that MoneySane is on top of and also create one that uses the bar so I can compare them? Thank you much!

    #9 I don't like the green and other than that, I would respond the same was as I did last time: I don't see any emphasis on the "sane" part of moneysane. Also as an FYI, if everyone will go to moneysane.com and look at the blue used on the site--not just the dark blue, but also the light blue displayed when you hover over the dashboard--you may find it easier working with additional colors that fit the site. thx for your submission!

    If there are any other designers looking at the project please don't feel restricted in you designs because of the volume of feedback I am giving...I would love to see some other concepts that I can build other feedback on! Also I forgot to mention that I like the blue and orange more balanced--Not all blue or all orange.

    #s 5-8 So I like all of these designs but none of them really incorporate the "sane" part of moneysane. When you think sane think of things like: balance, peace, harmony, happiness, etc. I'm not sure how to do this but sane needs to be balanced with money. Here are some ideas but I'm open to seeing other things: -Maybe try using a symbol like #8 over #1 except have the symbol represent "sane"....maybe it says balance inside it similar to Happy Daily, maybe its a yin yang (but it would have to be fun and young looking with character on one side and experience on the other) -Maybe it is just a graphic of the sun -non-cheesy smiley face -Another idea would be to have the bottom line of moneysane create a teeter totter with the round symbol under it--if you do this place "character" in white letters (like happy daily)inside the symbol and tilt money sane a little towards "sane" instead of perfectly level. Remember I'm just giving you ideas so anything that you can think of that incorporates "sane" would be welcome. thanks!

    #2 and #3 I like the M in #1, the shadow and the text more than #s one and two. Also, I'm not a big fan of the color of #2. I wonder if anyone has anything similar to the logo found on Design Happier http://design.happier.com/ ? It would be cool if design #1 could be integrated with some type of symbol. I hesitate showing someone else's work on the site but I really like the two pieces on the top left of: http://www.mycroburst.com/users/einsanimation/folio?page=4 Maybe something like this or from design happier could be larger and placed behind #1, or above or the side....I don't know...I'm just trying to help but you guys are the professionals so do what you think. It is still early in the project though, so please don't feel confined to what has already been presented--variety is the spice of life! Thank you!

    #1 First of all thank you for submitting your work! I actually really like it...the star rating is relative so if I give a three star that means I like it. A four means I think it is incredible and five is somewhere beyond that (: I'm having a hard time providing feedback for this design...I guess I lack words because I like it but its lacking something and I just cant place what it is.... I'll think about it and try to pinpoint it and get back to you. Thanks again Graciel!

    Attention Designers!! MycroBurst permits you to submit unlimited designs with unlimited variations. However, if you are providing 2 or 3 different color versions of the same logo in one draft, please make sure that if the particular draft gets finalized, each color version should be separated before you will send the final files. Thanks, MB/LDG/LS Team
