DennisLinkletter Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 HELP.. I'm using a online service to come up with a new logo for Komodo Kamado.. Will you please give me your feed back on these?Thanks in advance! I've asked the artist that made the first one with the red flame in the KK to make it in all caps too.. http://www.designcrowd.com/vote/iveoutsourcedlogodesignworkvotingformyexistinggrillsmokerwebsitebusinessvotingpoll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Me too, but I need more people to pick the same one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 My pick was the leader so far. With the red fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilburpan Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I think the red fire makes the logo too similar to the Kamado Joe logo, given that KJ has gone all in with red being their signature color. Also, there isn’t an easily available option for a red KK grill at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the KK grill itself was red I would agree but it's a red flame.. and the two logos look nothing like the other, they also have no flame..

Loquitur Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 My pick was for the leader as well, so far anyway. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eye, the two logos aren’t identical, but they aren’t completely different, either. FWIW, my wife has a marketing/advertising background, and her opinion was that although you could make the case that a red flame is different from a red grill, if you’re looking to create separation in a customer’s mind between the two brands, it’s best to not have any elements that are similar to the other brand’s logo.

5698k Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Mine is number three, the number one is too much like KJ, and a bit dated looking, but it is the number one. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Only one jumped out at me....the only one that highlighted and high contrasted the word 'Komodo.' There are many Kamados in this world, but there is only one Komodo Kamado My two pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just goes to show you; my design choice is running dead last. To be honest, none of them tripped my trigger and made want to know more about the product. I would have liked my design choice better if it showcased some of the bolder KK tile colors over that pale blue. The tile colors separate the KK from the pack in catching your eye and why I didn't give the designs with black grills higher marks - too generic. The design in 1st place is great for designing stationery and business cards - very clean, professional; but doesn't grab your eye for marketing. The flame designs are too kitschy and remind me of bad Mongolian BBQ restaurant signs. The one with the asian symbols/text on it doesn't evoke BBQ grill, but something for doing Asian cooking. My extremely opinionated 2 cents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this font it's absolutely a no go .. I though you were talking about this one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinS Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Perhaps if you made the flames orange or yellow? Also, you could italicize the font so that it has a slant, similar to the right side of the KK. Make Komodo bold, but use regular or a shadow font for "amado." This would emphasize the uniqueness of Komodo. Just a couple of ideas. This is not my area of expertise.

GoFrogs91 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I don't have a KJ and don't spend time on the site, but the red immediately made me think of that brand. I would go with something that demonstrated the tile or pebble texture. From a visual standpoint, that is what makes KKs unique. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
