Two Logo Winners

The logo design contest is over. I chose two winning designs because I couldn't decide which I liked better.







I create a poll asking people to vote for their favorite logo. Kelsey spread the word on Facebook and with her friends to help decide.

It looks like the consensus among them (by a 5-1) is that the logo with the white background is better. Reasons given were that the green one was too feminine ("looks like a spa") and the font was more difficult to read.

In favor of the "white" logo:

"The text is much more readable on this and I like the art better."
"I like this... Easy to read, red font draws my eye, looks very school-ish."
"I love how clear the font is and that there isn't too much going on."


Contra the "green" logo:

"The apple/flower art is not my favorite. I like the shape - seems good to use for lots of purposes. The white subtitle on the background is a little hard to read."
"I like this apple and apple blossom, but the rest resembles a banner ad and I don't like the white font."
"The text is not the easiest to read with these colors."
"Looks more like a logo for a spa or boutique."

I still liked the green one enough to pay the designer. I'll go with the white one for now, but keep the other one for future potential use.

In particular, I think the green one lends itself well to a common site design, and some work can be done to improve the font issues.

The white logo is up on the home page and the "official" apple blossom blog. I don't know if I'll move the blog onto a local wordpress install (or use wordpress for the whole site), but this is the simplest thing to do to start.
