I need a logo for a website dedicated to a new invention: the young coconut cutter. The coconut cutter is a kitchen appliance that cuts young coconuts (think tropical, green, healthy, exotic, and relaxed). The logo will be on a new website that will be hosted at www.coconutcutter.com, as well as on product packaging. The name of the company is Sabai. Sabai is a Thai word for "well-being or happiness", used because of the fact that many young coconuts come from Thailand. Guidelines: The logo will read: Sabai and be simple and uncluttered with the words Young Coconut Cutter in there somewhere (possibly centered underneath.) The font may be in Thai-style English script (as seen in the logos linked below), or another font; I would like comparisons The suggested colors are black (or dark grey) and verdant green (http://img688.imageshack.us/i/ravineverdant.jpg/), although I welcome creative alternatives I would like a border surrounding the logo I will offer more than $20 for a very good logo. Rules: The winner will need to provide the logo in psd and vector file formats. The contest is for 48 hours or until a clear winner is decided on. Please let me know in the thread if you have any questions. All questions and submissions must be submitted through the thread. I will not take any PM-ed designs or questions. I have prior images that I do not want to use, but am showing as examples below. The first (sabailogo1.png) is somewhat close to what I am looking for, but I do not want to limit your creativity by trying to match it. http://img689.imageshack.us/i/sabailogo1.png/ http://img155.imageshack.us/i/sabailogo2.png/
@JonathanP Good work. Let's see what it looks like without the coconut, with the "young coconut cutter" centered and same width as Sabai, and a decorative border around the whole thing. @dseer I like it. Let's see it with a few changes. Remove the coconut, make a thick border the same color as the font around the whole thing with the corners rounded in the same gradient as the font. Make the border width according to your liking. Make a dot on top of the i in Sabai so it's more legible, possibly by adding a square, circle, or triangle with one corner up and diagonal left and the other to the right and the other pointing down, whatever looks best.
Good work everyone! I have decided on the winner and runners up and will be notifying you shortly. The contest is now closed and will remain closed, assuming the winner is able to make the required edits and provide the logo. Thank you all! I will post again.
