1) Your favorite one
2) Your second choice.



You don't have to be a female to vote =). Thank you for your time, everyone!


Selection A



Selection B




Selection C



Selection D



Selection E

    I like B and D... but full disclosure. I am not a girl

    The problem with polls like this though is that people tend to always go with the same options that the first few posters have chosen. It's the old social proof in full swing.

    The best way to do a poll like this would be to create a survey where people cannot see other people's opinion until they have chosen their own.

    Just saying...

      Thanks Will for your vote and comments. Well, the ones who are opinionated will vote differently. I'm very sure about that.

      They stand out from the rest.

    I've looked at these logos for so long. But so far mine vote would be:

    1) Selection B
    2) Selection D

    And your vote will be.....?

    I vote A, with B a close second.

    On image C, the way the end of the letter "m" crosses into the space between the letter "a" and the flower stem and then swoops downward makes it look like an angry cartoon face, especially with the first petal looking like a frowning eye.

    The D image just doesn't have anything going for it, IMO.

    Edit: Now that you've changed "C" and added "E" I thought I'd add that after seeing the changes, and seeing the others a second time, I still vote for "A" and don't like "B" as well this time.

      Thanks Dennis for your input. It's a first deviation from B & D choices that Will and I picked =)

      Sorry everyone I had to "ninja"-in selection E just now.

    I like D, it has the little fume things going on inside the tail of the Y ( Which I like because it represents the Aroma Vapor Trails) and will not be as intrusive on stationary as B would be with that big loop.

    Good Luck to you!

        No problem I feel the design should be in the word aroma and not simply, since aroma is the keyword, unless your brand is called "Simply", just my 2 cents

    I like C, but only if the background was changed to white, or lite pink. Although I'm not a girl, I'm sitting here with my girlfriends tights on and cherry colored lipstick.

    C is the option. Just make the "p" more simply and enlarge enough the "AROMA". Good luck. Thx.

    Selection D



    Selection E

    A: Don't like the font at all.
    B: Basic circle so doesn't really say much about the product visually and I don't like the way the p and y intersect the byline
    C: The leaf suggests an herbal product rather than an aroma product.
    D: I would have to choose this as my first choice, although it doesn't really do anything for me
    E: Don't like anything about it

    Don't have a second choice.

      As a Logo B is looking best.

      But as a symbol of fragrance my heart go for A and E.

      It will be better best if you ad something like smoke in B to represent the fragrance.

      CBGCash,

      Not voting, just a comment.

      What is so important about the word "Simply"?

      In every logo the word "simply" gets most of the attention. It is more prominently placed, it is much larger in size, and its color stands out much more than the word "aroma."

      When describing your site or business, why is the word so prominent?

      In my opinion, your graphic designer has missed the point. The word "aroma" is almost an afterthought compared to the word "simply."

      If I were designing a logo, I would have reversed the emphasis.

      Just my opinion,

      Steve

        I completely agree with this. The main word of the logo should be Aroma, not Simply. The product should not be a byline.

    Hi,

    I prefer "C" first, then "D". To me "E" is too fussy and "B" looks cartoonish.

    Just one opinion, from one female.

    Hope this helps,

    A and B make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, like I want to take a bubble bath or something. Those logos speak to the niche more.

    You really need to find a way to test the logos on your target audience. For example, targeted Facebook or Google ads. See which one performs better. This "opinion" based poll is useless.

    ^ hehe amazing we have have a totally different view from the target audience.

    My choices are D and then E.

    E has alot of potential but it has been executed incorrectly IMO. The purple hue should be more vibrant, and the leaf could be a pastel green as they are complimentary colors.

    The aligment/typeface is off as well.

    I'd go with D if you haven't got any revisions left.

    Selection E

    I have not read the other posts so as not to be influenced at all and secondly, I want you to know that I am a woman. But not just a woman, a very girlie girl kind of woman who is in touch and enjoys her femininity.

    My favorite is Selection A. The font is pink, which is my favorite color, it is curvy as opposed to having sharp lines and the scent or aroma coming from the letter "i" is very clever and matches your product wonderfully.

    My second favorite is Selection C. Again, the font is pink, not sharp, but curvy and exudes femininity. The green leaf also adds a natural aspect to it and of course, is vital for your product. Nature has the best fragrances to offer.

    An example of what I mean is in pefumes, the cheap ones have a bit of a natural smell, but also something else that burns the nostrils, causes you to sneeze and often times gives you a headache from the whatever that isn't natural ingredients that are found in it.

    I like D and B

    I think B looks a little bit 80's but not sure the exact look you are going for.

    I would say D is more stylish and sums up the aroma part of the logo

    Nice design

      OK. Boy here.

      1. A
      As I see it, your keyword is Aroma, but your brand is Simply trying to convey "Simply Aroma".
      Relates to your brand better with the flame in the logo.

      2. D
      Goes along with aroma as part of the logo.
