We wished for a logo for Christmas, for our small family owned business. (We sell handmade quilted and herbal gifts.) We got more than we bargained for and received 3. We can't decide which one to pick and would like some help choosing. I've set up a poll so if you could please help us choose by voting for the one you think we should use. Thank you
Sue

well, I tried doing the copy and paste, but it didn't work. I've got dummy pages set with these all on there so maybe it will work this way

I knew it was probably something simple.

I voted for the first one as it is the most "logo-like." The other two, while very pretty, aren't nearly as much a logo as good material that might be used in a banner or title of a website.

Maybe so... but that first one (heart and hands) looks very similar to something I've seen before - like United Way, or World Heart, or some sort of charity or service organization - I just can't place it. In any case, it LOOKS like something a charity would use, rather than a Boutique, so I crossed it off for that reason.

By the way, I have no idea who designed these and I honestly do not mean any offense by these comments - I'm just coming in cold looking at them and asking myself, "Which one best fits and/or conveys the company description?".

The third one has a vaguely religious feel to me - probably the stretched out hands reaching for one another - it's very pretty but it makes me think of angels and heaven and God, not a Boutique.

That left me with the middle one, which has kind of a patchwork quilt, cross-stitch, hobby-craft, country corner store kind of feel to it - and that seems to be not a bad description of what the website is about.

I did not put who sent these to me here, I was going to post that info when I posted which one was going on the site, should I have posted that with the poll?

and I honestly do not mean any offense by these comments - I'm just coming in cold looking at them and asking myself, "Which one best fits and/or conveys the company description?".

and that is exactly what I was hoping for.

I set the poll for 7 days, so please keep voting
Thanks,
Sue

The flowers didn't even show up in my browser.

The first hearts and hands looks strange.

If you use the third I would use a more contrasting color for the hands. Too much of the same color makes it difficult to focus on your name.
