Makes me want to see the heart/boots as a larger part of the logo. It is almost too subtle. I'm not completely sold on the font for the rest. A little too much puffy with everything rounded.
thanks Trish for taking a look & saying what you thought... I have a version with the hearts/boots separate... will see what the clients like..
...but having said that subtlety in logos is never an issue & should not ever need to be... i disagree with anything being "too subtle" if it is secondary to what the logo is trying to get across.. in this instance "loveboots".. not "clever little hearts/boots".. see what i mean?
as for the type.. rounder type or "puffy" as you call it bodes well with the "child/parent" market... especially in this day & age when you see things at such a rapid pace...
True on the font, but I could use the same argument about subtlety. When I say it is almost too subtle, I am afraid a large part of the target audience won't see them as boots (ever). Not saying you should change it. I love what you have. This is one of those logos where when you do see the hearts as little boots it is like getting a little gift. The choice as to whether you dumb it down for the target audience is up to the client in the end.
"When I say it is almost too subtle, I am afraid a large part of the target audience won't see them as boots (ever)."... I know its almost a cliché.. actually.. it is... but a majority of the people in the world wont notice the arrow in FedEx (ever).. the question is.. what is important?
"Clever & Creative! "... hhmmm... you got me there... good one!
I was thinking of the FedEx logo when I wrote that. I don't think it is about what is more important. It is about what works. Advertising/design sometimes falls into a moral/passionate issue when it is really about what works.
I think your logo works regardless of whether the target audience sees the boots or not. Same with the FedEx logo. Forgive me for waxing on about something that really has to do with other, overly clever, logos I've seen.
No apologies Trish this site needs more debate and explanation and high brow conversation. And I'm glad nido is willing to participate and is able to articulate an argument.

The letter " O " is s flexible one everybody can do something in that ... but ur "TALKMORE is awesome... :)

It took me a while to see it, but as everyone says - it truly is inspiring!
But maybe you could enhance the boots with some laces, or maybe mark the sole with some... traces or whatever you would call it.
Really beautiful though, talkmore was awesome as well
i think its perfect just as it is - there's no need to see the boots - it's not like i'm not going to understand what it's for if i don't see them right away - or at all.
Very cool, clever concept. I don't think this could have been executed any better.

hindmarshdesign i was hoping that your logo would appear in top eight list. the thing is, this site has a problem, if you push the floater several times at once it will give you not one floater, but several floaters. somebody pushed it several times for those guys. i wonder who?
