Re: Logo Competition - $200
Preliminary rough for logo.
I haven't gone for different ages of chicks as that becomes too detailed, too much of a joke, (baggy trousers, baseball cap, different sized chicks; all gets a bit too crowded). I've just focused on the 'care' aspect and kept the colours warm etc.
One option with 'red lips', bit racy for me.

Welcome Ray
I'm sure you will find some outstanding logo solutions here.

Re: Logo Competition - $200
Masque, I didn't realize designs would starting coming in so quickly. I'm home from work today so I have some time to do "daycare business". :D Anyway, thank you very much for the submission. I showed it to the boss (my wife), and here is some feedback:
- She reminded me of the one request that I forgot to mention regarding the hen's color. I had to recolor our hen to "lighter skin tones" a while back because people tended to associate the color of the hen with the color of the daycare provider. Yes, I thought it was stupid also, but after the change people started responding to the ads so there must be something subconscious going on.
- The wing embracing the chicks looks a little disconnected because the scene is focused on the faces. So the "mother hen" effect doesn't really come accross that strongly.
- Agree that in this illustration, the red lips don't really work.
- Not sure how well the texture effects will translate onto other media.
- Liked the way the LLC was included, but neatly tucked aside.
- The style of illustration seemed to work well (not too realistic).
Thanks again for the submission. We thought it was a cute.

Hi
Thanks for the feeback.
When I'm trying to produce a design for someone I like to get in quick with an idea because I find I can learn more about what they want from what they don't like about what I do. So I'll try to bear in mind your, (the bosses'), comments and come up with something different or at least the same but revised.
I'm sure there will be may other ideas from others posted for you to look at in due course.

Njoy.

I'll have a chance to "babysit" the forum the next couple days, so I'll try to offer rapid responses as best I can. We had a chance to review the latest submissions, and have more feed back (below). I'm surprised that we're already having strong differences of opinion, but we'll work that out as we decide all of the factors that go into the selection process.

- Personally, I loved this one immediately. I think it looks trendy, modern, and clean. I was worried that the "mother hen" spirit wouldn't come across with this type of design, but I really like what you've done and think it does come across well.
- My wife didn't like it very much mostly because she says that it doesn't look enough like a hen to her. I would worry that a spike up top would make it look like a rooster, or that too many lines would ruin the clean look, but maybe you can experiment a bit.
- Maybe you could play around a bit to see what a two or three color version would look like?

- My wife thought this was really cute, and likes a lot about it. However, she didn't like that the hen's rear-end was the focal point, and didn't think the protective "mother hen" concept came across strong enough.
- I thought it was kind of cute, but too detailed a scene for a logo, too much use of 3D effect, etc.
- Since my wife liked this one, I'd bet she would also like more playful illustrations if anyone has any thoughts down that path. I didn't think we were headed in that direction, but I guess we are, as long as the protective "mother hen" nature still comes across in the hen.
As I said, we seem to be getting into an area of artistic differences and personal preferences, so keep the good work coming, and we'll keep providing feedback.
FYI, we're showing the designs to our customers as they're being submitted so we'll be getting their feedback as well and incorporating it into our response. Of course, we have the final say, but it would be nice to select something that everyone else finds appealing as well! :)

I said I wasn`t a logo maker, but I was thinking just what you were thinking,
rear end ;)
So I already did one from the front.
As a logo it probably wouldnt work, I agree, maybe as a poster.
(and the rear was more thinking crossing roads, so carefullness.)
So see it from the front now.;)
(And please don`t expect much logo wise, it just isn`t my thing.sorry)
