Personally, I *LOVE* logo 2. It stands out, will look just as good when
reduced for collateral pieces (number one and three won't - the mouse,
I would think, would be unrecognizable and the lettering on three would
be two small and hard to read with the colors and size). Too, it seems
to be the trend nowadays . . .
Really, I LOVE logo two (not stupid enough to say "*number* two LOL) .
. . super, great job, Davémon!!
Cheers!

I don't like the middle one at all. It seems pointless. The first is
fine if you plan on using the elephant and mouse as icons elsewhere.
Same for the last one if you use the blocks elsewhere. I think the
colors are too muted, but I don't know the current fad regarding
colors for children.

#1 looks like it could be for a landscape supply nursery..
but is not bad art. 2 is bad art 3 fits the bill,
but is a little short on imagination... I would do 20
different versions of 3, until you get something with impact
it would be morphed considerably... then Id survey it on the
street with mothers and children to get the one that gets rave
reviews... good reviews are not nearly good enough, It needs
to get an emotional response.

Yeah, number two (there, I said it) would need a tag line to explain
the "T" and "N" - but overall, it stands out and I *KNOW* it would
appeal to my kids and other kids their age (11 & 8). My 11 yo would be
too embarassed to go into a store with the other two logos (she won't
even go into Toys R Us without a battle and some sort of disguise).
But then, she tells everyone within earshot that she's a "pre-teen" and
not a plain ol' 11 yo . . .
Too, logo two would intrigue me - I'd assume hip toys n gadgets. But
then, I'm a gadget head - I love hacking everyday objects into useless,
but gadget-y gear. And to boot, I'm minimal all the way - I love
minimalist design - less is better to me (why I still don't have a new
site up - everything keeps getting too complicated!).

very interesting what you said about your 11 year olds adamant
response... it goes to show you, ones own insular judgement
can be way off track.

Excuse me posting to myself, but I thought I'd summarise rather than send 8
posts:
Connie: Never expected quite such an emotional response :-) Will watch out
for scaling issues - and use them BIG! Kids seem to spend their entire time
distancing themselves from what is 'babyish' ("I'm 5 - I'm big now!") -
which hadn't occured to me and really should have. The age-group is 2-8
y.o. (which is really wide imo).
inez: tits and nasty? oh dear. 'Decayed type' wasn't what I was after at
all - I'll work on the 'n' to get it a bit less /scary/ - neither of those
forms are type btw. It's a budget online retail company selling, erm, "toy
and nursery" stuff.
Phil: you might be interested in seeing some of the thumbnails and scraps,
before we got to this stage, perhaps I'll post those on my site once the
project is done.
Matt: I wish you'd elaborate on what you mean by 'pointless' a bit, but
thanks for the feedback.
James: door #3 opens to reveal A MAN-EATING TIGER!!! arrgh! run away!
All in all, thanks for looking and sharing your insights.

My first reaction was I liked them in this order: 1, 3, [2]
But now I look again, I'm a bit concerned that the first one could be
confused for a pet site; the word "toy" next to images of animals makes me
think of toy poodles and pet stores. I still prefer 1 to the others though.
The animals you chose put me in mind of how elephants are supposed to be
frightened of mice, is there a reason why you chose those two?
I'm not keen on the colours. And I don't like #2 at all.

In that case the one with the animals doesn't fit the product entirely well,
When I think of toys and nursery stuff I think of all the baggage & support
systems that kids come with: buggies, car seats, listening devices, safety
harnesses etc.

By that I meant that it did nothing for me at all. It seemed more like
a blob than anything. It seemed like a random collection of shapes.
>James: door #3 opens to reveal A MAN-EATING TIGER!!! arrgh! run away!
Oh well. Better luck next time. Oh, that's right, you don't get a next
time with door #3.

The store would probably be smart not to mix nursery items
with toys for kids over 5... especially in the 8 to 10
range... that was a good insight on the mix issues...and how
the kids feel.,. they pick their own toys over age 3 or 4 or
even younger...

down a bit more to go more with the O i think that would make it stand
out much nicer, seems kinda like he's deformed. Good stuff though
1 like 1st and 3rd the most.

Love the tiny mouse as well, although it could be more obvious as to what
it is.
