Notice anything different about my little blog???
I totally had another post planned for today, but last night, I had the urge to completely re-design my blog logo. Our house is a complete mess right now, so I should have been cleaning things up, but I had an itch… and I just had to scratch it!!
In case you’ve already forgotten, here was the old logo:
Nothing WRONG with it… but it had been the same for almost two years, and while I still like the color palate, it had been bugging me for a while…
So to the drawing board I went…
I wanted to create something slimmer, so the content wasn’t pushed SO far down the page, and it just seemed so impersonal. I love a good trellis pattern – you KNOW I do – but it was time for a change.
This was the first concept I came up with…
I love me some black and white stripes – remember my failed attempt at a black and white stiped entry way?? Hey, a girl’s gotta keep an open mind!
Anyways, I do like how the stripes add a little graphic punch, but I wanted to try it out without the framed border…
Cup Half Full Logo take III:
Narrowing the stripes to underscore the title and sub-text felt better to me – still fun and graphic, but a little more clean and balanced…
But some of my favorite blogs have very minimal headers… I tried to simplify:
Take V:
No stripes – just the script and my photos…
… But was this TOO plain??
I LOVE the first one. Nothing like a clean, crisp logo, and I love that it showcases the projects you have done! I logged onto the blog world for the first time in weeks today and I was going to send you a message and tell you how much I love the new logo. I also like that the first one is the logo, then 3 pictures…something about that is pleasing to these eyes! They all look great though and I don't think you can go wrong!

I like the one you've currently chosen. Nice to feature a couple of your favorite projects and the script and lines look clean and bright.

These are all great. I like the stripes but I also can appreciate how simple some of the other designs are. You have a hard and easy decision girl – hard because they are all so good, and easy, because they are all so good. Haha! No matter what you choose they are all a great choice!

You guys are all so awesome – thank you so much for the feedback – both the sweet comments, and the honest opinions. I REALLY appreciate it. Seriously. It means a lot to me 🙂
That said, I've been working on an updated version of the logo, that takes EVERYONE'S comments into account… the new logo is still nice and clean, it features my projects, and still has a little graphic element to it…
Can't wait to show you all!
