We have a new contest for you. This is the prize:
The recipe binder, not the quilt underneath it (mom would kill me!).
And here is what you need to do:
Debbie at Bear Patch Quilt Shop in White Bear Lake, Minnesota wanted us to create a new logo for her business. When we create logos, we give our clients at least 3 choices, so we thought it would be fun to see what our blog readers liked. She wanted to keep the bear patch block as well as the red and blue colors, but wanted a fresh design. All you need to do is choose which design you like the best and any comments you would like to make.
Here is choice #1
You can check out the Bear Patch website here.
If you would like more information about our logo design services, click here.
We will choose a winner on Thursday. Good Luck!
#2, no question! It ust has that quilty cozy look to it. What a fun job you have! Bonnie Nyquist bonniesline@aol dot com

I like #3 best (but with the font from #1 for the words 'Bear Patch")
Very cool!
Posted by: kiki | Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 12:23 PM
I like #2 best!
From reading all the comments looks like it's best if #2 or #3 wins lol!!
Posted by: Mandy | Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 12:14 PM
#3, definitely!
Posted by: Tacey B. | Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 11:30 AM
#2 without a doubt. It brings the logo a fresh look. I didn't have to think twice. Just found your blog thru U create. Love it!

I'm not familiar with the Bear Patch Quilting Company so I have a fresh look at it...the first one is my favorite. The thickness of the lettering in the words, Bear Patch, is powerful. The patches at the top draw my attention right away and gives me a hint as to the type of company it is. And, it's all-around appealing to the eye in it's simplicity and symmetry. It also looks like it would be from a place called White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Never been there, by the way...just giving my impression of the logo and the place as a pair.
The second one has too much for the eye, the circle causes the eye to not know where to rest...and the lower-case lettering lacks power.
The third one is nice but lacks the "umph" needed that the first one has.

I like #2 best, though all three are great! Enjoying your blog...thanks!

well i would go for the number 3.
Posted by: Logo Design | Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 12:17 AM
I like #3....it showed me what I needed to know and made me want to check out your site. Clean and clear.
Posted by: Holly | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 10:37 PM
#1 is the one I'd go with. Good Job!

I LOVE #3!! I may be calling you, I am in need of a new logo and I totally love your stuff!
Posted by: mary | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 09:07 PM
Number 3...I like the "stitches" around the outside....
Posted by: Jo | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 08:41 PM
Number 3...no number 2......no maybe #3......oh I like them both......okay......gonna go for #3.
Posted by: Jane | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 07:57 PM
I like no. 2 - that's my first choice. If they needed something square - it could be printed on a square cloth. I think zig zag edges would be cute!
No 3 is my second choice - if they needed a smaller rectangle instead of the shape/size of no. 2.
Posted by: Melanie Douthit | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 07:17 PM
#3 for me!!
Posted by: rebecca | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 07:00 PM
I like #3 the best because of the balanced use of two different print sizes/styles. I think it will stand the test of time for years to come.
Posted by: Carolyn S | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 03:19 PM
I like #3 the best.
Posted by: paige | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 02:52 PM
I like #2 the best. Doesn't take itself too seriously.
Posted by: Jennifer | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 12:10 PM
I like #2, but would suggest to freshen the color to a turquoise with the red!
Posted by: Marsha | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 11:40 AM
All are really nice, but #3 is my favorite.
Thanks for a chance to win the great recipe binder!
Posted by: Donna Knight | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 11:13 AM
I like #3... It has a nice frame around it to pull your eye to the name but also has a spunky font to update it a bit from the current design. Hope they choose #3!
Posted by: Sandie Davis | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 10:18 AM
Definitely #1 with #3 second. I just saw this today as DH and I were trying to work on a logo for our own biz. Hmmm...
Posted by: Amy | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 09:00 AM
I like #2 the best, but think #3 fits their website better.
Posted by: Alissa | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 08:51 AM
All are good but my fav is #2. I like the font.
Posted by: Diane | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 05:32 AM
At first look, #2 was my choice.
Posted by: Vickie | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 02:49 AM
Number 3. I really like it.
Posted by: Anne D | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 02:19 AM
I like #3 the most! It looks fresh and modern! If I would have a patchwork shop, I would like to have a logo like this!
Posted by: Conni | Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 12:14 AM
Bear Patch is my "home" quilt store! I love design #3. I find it classy and easy to read and I really like the on-point setting of the bear paw emblem.
Posted by: Leslie Schmidt | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 11:04 PM
2. it keeps the bear patch in its original placement but adds a fresh circle and circles are symbolic of 'there are no endings, only new beginnings'
the gals all seem to be quite traditional, but then there's the pictures of a retreat with margarita glasses and some smokes (Nov24) so it looks like a new kind of party is started...can I join?
Posted by: duff | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 09:21 PM
I like #2 because I love circles, but I do like #3 for the font quilting company is in. Hard decisions. I love your designs. Keep up the wonderful work.
Posted by: Linda | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 07:50 PM
Number two is my choice.
Posted by: Nan S | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 07:37 PM
# 1 gets my vote!
Posted by: Pat | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 07:29 PM
I really like #3.
Posted by: Ariane | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 07:04 PM
I vote for number two just because I love circles!
Showed this to my daughters tonight....they said we need to do that for our recipes and get them out of the drawer so we can find them when we need them! lol
Thanks for a fun giveaway!

#2 is my favorite. But, #3 may stand the test of time a little better. It won't look dated in 10 years, where #2 might.
I vote #3 because of that.
Posted by: Kari Ramsay | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 06:44 PM
I vote for number two!!
Posted by: Kristen | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 06:43 PM
I vote #3. Great logos!!
Posted by: Christine | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 06:30 PM
I love #3, #1 being my second choice. I love the recipe binder. How did you know that I need one?
Posted by: Deb Puterbaugh | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 06:02 PM
I like #2. I'm just into circles lately!
Posted by: Cindy | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 05:33 PM
I would choose design #1...loving the thick red letters. Oh, how I really, really want that binder to organize my recipe collection. Kristy in Ohio
Posted by: Kristy | Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 05:32 PM
My daughter, the graphic design major, says #3.
