rework logo for a tanning salon

Sunsational Tanning Co.

No

Tanning business that has been in business for many years would like to update our logo. We currently have a partial sun with a tan girl in front. (current logo can be seen at http://sunsationaltanningco.net/ ) We would like something with the sun without the girl or maybe with--depending. Maybe a sketched person??? We want it to be a bit more updated and modern but still recognized by customers that we have had for years. We would like the name to have a unique font that would be a separate file from the logo so that we can put the logo on the back of a shirt and the name on the front. We want people to think: sun, beach, healthy, fun, professional, classy.

    Emma, Sorry, we had to extend the project because we were out for a while and couldn't easily decide on any one design. Thank you for your nice work!

    Splashdesigns: We don't think we like how the tag line comes across in #64/#78 etc. We do want it to come across as in ***LIFE....in the sun*** without the actual dots but with them implied. Also the tag line may be too big and it seems like either all straight or all curved would be better for it. The palm trees may stand out too much or be too centered or something? They seem stuck in instead of a part of the scene. We think you are getting so close to the idea of what we are after but it doesn't feel like our own yet. Please give us a few more ideas.

    dweedeku can you combine #57 and #32? We like almost everything about the font in 57 except the palm tree still seems too jagged and needs softened up. Can you add the sunset scene like in 57 but stick to the colors that match the Thomas Hammer coffee logo like you did in 57?

    splashdesigns, sorry, i meant #58 we like the color and layout but try it without "tanning co." and we like #73-- nice font and colors--could you have the palm lean in towards the word instead of out?

    Hi, Thanks for the feedback. In your last comment (7 September, 11:57 AM), did you mean design #53 instead of 54? Submission 54 is by another designer. Thanks, Emma

    splashdesigns, nice. we like the colors on #64, but the design of 54 the best. I think it may be better without "tanning Co." in it. Could you give us a "Sunsational Tanning Co." by itself, apart from the logo, maybe with a letter being a palm tree or connecting them in some way. That way we could put the name on the front of a tee shirt and the logo on the back. we still also like the full color version of #38 too! lots of choices. :-)

    Mariusdesigns, thanks for the input. we like the variety-wording in and also out of the logo--way to go! I think we decided to not do the bikini babe though. see what you can do without her.

    nayda really like #56, and the "life in the sun" font on #30. Can you make a few changes on #56. Can you make the line above "sunsational" curvy, instead of flat, so it matches the bottom one? Could you try the blue and orange colors from hammercoffee.com. as well?

    splashdesigns, We like the wicker-basket weave stuff around the outside on the small logo on 51. your designs look great. maybe sand on the inside and that texture on the outside on on the words??? the texture is sweet!!! maybe the word "Sunsational" could have a texture??? the chair looks like it was just dropped in rather than in a beach setting. maybe work with it a bit.

    dweedeku, can you try the colors from hammercoffee.com? we like the design and layout, the palms look a bit too sharp and pointy instead of soft and relaxing.

    splashdesigns, we like 39 and 41 alot. it seems like there is a bit too much empty space between the palm trees. maybe put a adirondack chair or put the trees together or bigger or fill in the space.

    nadya, we like design #40. it seems like it could be better, but i'm not sure how. Could you write "Sunsational Tanning Co." in that font separate from the logo. Could you try making the "life in the sun" a font that is more fun.

    splashdesigns, could you submit a design with just one color or maybe two just so we can see what it might look like.

    splashdesigns- We really like what you are doing. we like your #23. We like "Life" down below. The "In the Sun" seems too big and the grey band that its in seems too thick. The background color on the Sunsational banner seems like the wrong color. We really like the sand texture around the outside. can you try some different fonts? We like the cursive "life" . Can you try shrinking the palm trees?

    Validesign= we like your new designs-how you put it in a circle. it has a fast racy feel to it though. sweet looking, but not a relaxed, beachy, tanning feel. we want a banana leaf roof-palm tree-surf-sand-sun-type feel.

    Nadya- we really like #30 alot. We like the shading- it gives it a nice feel. we still like the font in 18 the best but dont like the font for the "life in the sun". We like how "Sunsational" sticks outside the circle a bit. try lengthening it a bit more or putting it in a banner we would also like LIFE distinguished from the rest of the text in some way. We feel the palm trees dont look right. Maybe they should be bent or maybe just one, or a cluster together or colored or???? Maybe some more color would work as well.

    dweedeku= we like your #28 but it seems too busy- it needs to be more simple. the sun has too many pointy rays. make it more just round, also too many palms, also colors could be more warm maybe. the blue is nice but the orange is too red and the black seems too cold. also we dont like the girl for the i, so just a plain I like your other designs.

    Ok, I think we like the #18 logo the best so far. We like The whole circle idea with the words and tag line incorporated. The palms need to be better and maybe better colors. We don't like the fonts on the tag line and you could try a different font with the word Sunsational as well. We like the "blingy" look on the fonts of #16. We like the colors on #12 but don't like the swirl on the sun.
