WHat what a great start guys. Please read my comments on the others. I don't know how this works but I am trying to give good feedback so if you want to redo you can. I saw in the affinity maasage contest winner, I like how they did the A. i think "xpressions" did it. I liked that doesn't mean its the way to go just a idea. Please use your own creativity becasue so far thes are great.

Art of cultivation TAOC Since mine has started I have started to change my course some. Here are things I like. 1. I like the colors med bright blue and lime green. 2. CUltivation needs to be the blue. 3. I would like the word "Art" and "Cultivation" being different fonts. I like font style that have no serifs simple clean like expressions,artsykat,Gx3 Grafix latest,kreativitee newest on,googliebear, and Buckshot. 4. I would like the logo to represent growth which I think. I like some of the ones with the people in it, I like expressions tree and root on alot. Abtract people look cool. 5. some ideas maybe doing something with the "A" like expression did for Affinity massage as the winner, or i like artsykat modern look. I like the pie chart in googliebear's but don't know if I like the flower itself. 6. I like a tagline also "Helping your grow your business" it should be in the lime green. Read number 7 create your own comcept maybe I am missing a great opportunity outside my own box. 7. I would like to see something along what I said above and then I would like to see your own original that you came up with that deals with business , growth, help, money, or customers. You be creative. I hope this help a lot and clears up what I said.

This is to Everyone on here. I feel like a kid waitin for CHristmas morning. I come up to office computer several times a day just to see what new and creative things I am going to get. I want everyone to know even if I don't think your design is the best or I give a lot of feedback. Everyone of you are helping me to see what I really want , how my customers might see it and defining my business and how it will represent me. I all ready have told to friends about all your work and several friends I have looking at the links daily for feedback. So , what I have learned today. I like shading it makes things look more real. I would like my colors brighter, the blues more true but medium and the lime green more towards the yellow. Some of the colors look muddy or that they have raw umber in them. I think I like my symbol to me more of the wording. I like fade outs of fonts and symbols. Meaning going form one color fading from dark to light blending colors. I would like to try symbols which deals with the people aspect also like customer service and human resource. Going through all the contest from Printex and so on. I like fresh clean,

Thank you, GX3: even so, I messed up the name! Apologies for that....

I have been getting more and more addition to my logo contest and you guys are really helping take my first concept and move to where it needs to be. I want to change my way of thinking and tell you about my company more. The Art of Cultvation helps businesses recalibrate, realign, and redirect their growth towards their vision. The business systems wheel.... A business must function like a wheel in order to grow and prosper, with each point along the wheel being connected to the next. Art of Cultivation focuses on five points, or solutions, along the wheel. These include your culture, your employees, your products, your sales, and your customers. SO I might of been taking the trees and leaves to literally. So maybe a design using the 5 points or a wheel.Using symbols for the five culture, your employees, your products, your sales, your customers. After seeing all of the designs. I really like squares and business symbols.I just want to make sure I don't go to much towards the consulting regidness. So i think more abstract and soft. Clean and simple, blue and green , medium bright tones. So to see designs I really like look at the ones I rated a "5" so you can see. I would to see several from each person with some of the same concepts as these.

I would like to make a new tag line. I think this is to long so what is everyone take the parts of this to create a tagline in their viewpoint. The Art of Cultvation helps businesses recalibrate, realign, and redirect their growth towards their vision. Use parts of this that work for your tagline

taoc Contest Holder

Hey everyone just a thought is some of your decided to use a wheel with 5 points or even 5 squares using you ideas for the five things. Culture,employees, customer service, products, sales.

taoc Contest Holder

I would like to know how everyone here thinks about this. I think everyone of you guys have a good sense of marketing. I ask gooliebear this quesion, so can you add a comment to your latest drawing to what you think. I don't think you should drop the "plant" theme. Your business name is great, because it's a different angle on the consulting concept, and because of that different angle you have a real chance to stand out in the marketplace. Using a plant concept can really help you do that. For example: let's say you stick with the plant direction for the logo. On your website and marketing materials, you can find stock photography of agriculture and cultivation and use those images to symbolize your five points (for instance: you can show an irrigation system or someone watering plans for customer service). Using such an atypical approach will really help you establish what you do, how you do it, and what you help your clients do in a real, organic way. Anyone can approach consulting from a mechanical, literal perspective (a la the 5 points), but it takes a real innovator to approach it the way you initially did. Sticking to your guns and your initial vision will prove that innovation, and business owners will appreciate that unique approach much more than the same old sales pitch they get from your run-of-the-mill consulting firms.

I agree that the green and the "plant" or "leaf" or whatever theme/symbol us designers have chosen is perfect for your name. I also agree that your name is great, it stands out in your market and you can really illustrate you business through play on words as well as photos and illustrations. The way you started this comp, you described what you do and said it best with "We believe if you cultivate your business, it will grow" I think it is very appealing and full of possibilities.

thanks

I hope that everyone had a great holiday weekend. I also want to thank everyone that as enter my contest. From a contest holder point for view when you start this process you have sort of a imagine in your mind of what you think you want. Your logo is one of your true defining moments in the creation of your company. It is like your family "coat of arms".It is one thing you can look at that symbolizes the pride you have in yourself for starting your business. THrough this process my eyes have been open to so many new ideas and direction to go. I have a lot of great feedback and even some good advice. Thanks "Gooliebear" What I thought I wanted and how is as develop is totally different where I am right now. This process helps you really work on how you see you business and how others will see it. So, I just want everyone of the designers to know you are helping shape a person's vision of their future and of their dream. Thank you for helping me shape mine. I look forward to the next 6 days fine tuning and shaping my logo. This is like AMerican Idol. LOL!!!!
