I am looking for a logo to be created for my candle company. The name is "Scents Of Reality". We discussed the idea of the S including some kind of smoke and the I including a flame at the top or something but there is nothing set in stone. We just want to be on the cutting edge and have a great logo for our great product. Our products are 100% soy candles and are becoming great sellers. happy to answer any questions and I'll be giving out feedback as they come in.
There is no set color scheme. Darker colors will likely do better as the logo will most likely be printed on clear labels and placed on candles with very light colored backgrounds. Dante777 sent a pm with his logo entry and it is currently in the lead. It is very elegant, having flourishes underneath and slightly on the sides. The ideas with the flame and smoke were ideas that we tossed around but not necessarily if you have a better idea. We are going to initially target local shops for retail and eventually go after the larger chains so it should be easily readable and brandible. Chris B, you are currently in 2nd place with your non smoke design, but it would probably look a little better if you used a flame. The rest of them are ok, but I don't feel that they have the branding and elegance we are looking for.
My brother-in-law kind of likes yours but would like to see it in a different color scheme. We have 2 product lines, 1 will be man candles, scented like leather, campfire, fresh cut grass, etc. We will also have our standard line of candles so we are trying not to get too femine with the logo but have something strong, brandible and appealing.
