Circle logos :: help me choose three

20 circle logos and text

20 circles logos

Here is one challenge that has been messing with my head for the last 2 days. The task was to create a logo for a restaurant called ‘circle’ and we were allowed to use the word circle and the circle shape and we had to come up with 40 variations. Let me just say at number 28 I was ready to give up. The word ‘circle’ no longer looked like anything I recognised and my eyes couldn’t take in any more circles. This was a great challenge for me since I’m not great at pushing my ideas and that number 40 goal post certainly made me do that. Somewhere around number 16 I had a great idea in my head that I wanted to try and so I made a start and it would end up somewhere completely different , so I started again and then end up somewhere different. I never did execute my idea and I’m not doing 41! So now my bigger challenge is I have to pick 3 of these to present to the ‘client’ and so I’m enlisting your help. What are your 3 favourites? Leave a comment and let me know – I’ve even numbered them all to make it easy for you.

  1. 2, 36, 37 (and 1).

    You did a great job. My eyes got dizzy just looking at all of them. I can’t imagine how tough it was to come up with all of these.

    1. Thanks for your help Miss Robin – sorry you had to sacrifice your eye for it.

  2. 24, 39, and 40 are my top picks, but I had a hard time deciding between 39 and 36.

    1. Thank you for your speedy reply! I’m so unattached to any of them that any outside input is so helpful.

    2, 23, 31. I was thinking about a timeless design, considering a restaurant would be a long-term business & might not be looking for a trendy logo. Also thinking about something that would work well if they had to advertise in black & white instead of color. Maybe I think too much!

    1. Perfect thanks Carolyn. I’m a little biased towards number 2 – I don’t know why. You and my husband would get along well as he liked 23 and 31! I’m getting closer to my final 3 so thank you for your help.

  4. 13, 17, 38 …..of course, that sure doesn’t lead to a consentience – good luck-after awhile, ‘circle’ doesn’t even look like it’s spelled correctly 😉 (I think I looked at it too long!) I was thinking that would be a great name for a bike shop as well!

    1. Thanks for your vote PJ. Choosing 3 has been harder than creating 40! And you’re right, I was about 6 in when I couldn’t even look at the word circle without being confused and thinking it was spelled incorrectly.

  5. […] tasks we have to do each week and they are more epic than mini and take so much time (remember the circles). But that story is not at all related to this […]
