Also at the bottom he wants to have ***** stars (five stars)
Shape of the logo: circle (as per his examples below)
Colours: please use a combination of orange (predominant colour) black and white
Style: "serious" and modern, not a cartoonish one

Any questions please ask. Winner gets $25 via paypal

@pehulz Thank you for getting this started. it is a nice entry and I will have some feedback once my friend gets back to me. In the meantime, my opinion which is irrelevant since my friend will choose is that there seems to be too much white.

@Papacita thank you for the entry. It looks pleasant but I need to get feedback from my friend as he will choose. I would say the kebabs on the side are maybe too small and they should be bigger, even if they will have to cover part of the circle. This is just my irrelevant observation because what is important is what my friend thinks

@Bella24 thanks for the entry. To me it looks good but I have to wait for feedback from my friend and then I will let you know what he thinks

 

ok here's the variations.

 

Revision with bigger Kebabs by the sides.

 

Thank you for your feedback, here's Another variation as well

 

I just want to apologise for my late reply and my lack of feedback. I am waiting for my friend to reply.
Rest assured this contest will have a winner even if my friend does not reply (highly unlikely). In that case I will pick a winner myself and pay of course.
Please be a little patient with me as this is what usually happens when you try and help a friend.

 

Sorry again for the late reply. My friend has a very strong favourite logo. He said he would have been happy to choose any of the logos presented but thanks to so much talent here he has almost chosen one winner. Almost means he wants to see a couple of variations of the logo where there is more orange And that is @watari #10 I have no idea what more orange means but perhaps make the letters of Shaormeria BNC Orange as well and maybe give them a black outline. Anyway, they (it is actually husband and wife) said they want to see it more orange. Once Watari does the changes they will then decide if that's the winner or maybe they will need to reconsider the other ones (as I said they liked them all)

 

And the winner is @watari
Congratulations and my friends said they liked your first design better (more than their ideas in orange mostly)
