I really like this icon. It's an interesting twist on the cafe coffee mug.

tonyxprice said on Feb. 23 '07

I really dig the use of the leaf. Nice.

Jormi_Boced said on Feb. 23 '07

Very nice job. I really like the color and shape.

muku said on Feb. 23 '07

works great on all levels!

ryantoyota said on Feb. 23 '07

I really love this logo. I caught the ying yang when I first saw it, but didn't notice the leaf until I read the comments. Beautiful work!

thir13en said on Feb. 24 '07

Really nice logo! Besides all the meaning behind the leaf and all, it's simple, clean, and eye-attractive! By the way, what's the name of that font? I've already seen it on some logos, but I still haven't found it anywhere. Anyone can help?

senterbrands said on Feb. 24 '07

Thanks everyone. The name of the font is Dax from fontshop.com

Beautiful! :) I first noticed the leaf, didn't see the yin/yang before after reading your description. I think this is extremely well balanced, and it most definetely belongs to "my favorites" folder! :)

yummy stuff.

daleharris said on Feb. 25 '07

sorry to say this senter, but it reminds me of the gloria jeans logo. it could just been that I have seen the gloria jeans logo alot lately.. but see what you think: http://www.gloriajeanscoffees.com/

logoholik said on Feb. 25 '07

good one bart, you'll probably beat me there ;) dax is one of my favorite fonts :) oh, and this has nothing to do with gloriajeanscoffees except they both sell coffee i guess :)

senterbrands said on Feb. 25 '07

Dale...i dont even see how you are making that statement.

senterbrands said on Feb. 25 '07

Thanks Bojan and Everyone.

CreativeGuy said on Feb. 25 '07

Very nice. I like the color combo. The logo IS similar to the Gloria Jeans Coffees - but how could it not be? They both sell coffee and most all coffee places use "clip-art-style" artwork in their logo. That's like saying Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola logos are the similar because they both have "swoosh" shapes, the color red and the word Cola.

CreativeGuy said on Feb. 25 '07

By the way... I also love the tea leaf forming the base of the mug. Almost completely "hidden" right in front of your face!

senterbrands said on Feb. 25 '07

Creative Guy... I dont use clip-art. Sorry to dissappoint you. ;) And frankly there is no relation of the Gloria logo and mine. I know what you all are seeing.

daleharris said on Feb. 25 '07

hey senter, i was in no way making a negative statement about your work man - just that it reminded me of gloria jeans - and giving you a headsup.

senterbrands said on Feb. 25 '07

None taken Dale. Just dont see the relation of the two logos.

ryantoyota said on Feb. 26 '07

The only relation I see is that they both contain a coffee cup with steam... and a slightly similar art style. In no way do I think they'd be confused with each other or one be accused of copying the other though. Both original ideas.

senterbrands said on Feb. 26 '07

Dont see the similarities. Can some one explain. Here ill give you a link. http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/?query_id=4512322&page=1&mtype=&brand_id=136853

OcularInk said on Feb. 26 '07

Bart - I believe it's the mugs the others are comparing, not the type. Even so, not worth comparing. I like this one.

senterbrands said on Feb. 26 '07

Thanks Ocular!

daleharris said on Feb. 26 '07

i wouldn't compare it to the outdated version at brands of the world.. i was talking about the current version.. http://www.gloriajeanscoffees.com/ but really i wouldn't worry about it.

senterbrands said on Feb. 26 '07

Still dont see it but oh well.

kchappell77 said on Feb. 27 '07

I think I see what Dale was saying but that was on first glance. When I looked at it a second time it was different. Honestly to me it looks like Gloria Jeans Coffees had a substantial upgrade to their logo to become this one. Gloria Jeans logo is done in a different purspective but I think the hand is where the resemblance is. the thumb kinda plays tricks on your eyes with the leaf in your logo. Still I love this one. If I could float it twice I would.

Such a great design!!!

logomotive said on Mar. 01 '07

good one bart :-)

seriously said on Mar. 04 '07

how did you come up with the leaf at the bottom of the cup? very clever.

dzafra said on Mar. 04 '07

really really good !

senterbrands said on Mar. 06 '07

seriously said: how did you come up with the leaf at the bottom of the cup? very clever I just started sketching and it came out to me. LOL. THanks guys!

Thomas said on Mar. 09 '07

Very impressive work! Great job! ideas are clever and very well executed. No need to say more.

raja said on Mar. 23 '07

Now that is a brand

chanpion said on Mar. 23 '07

I also see the Gloria Jeans logo almost everyday and yet, I don't see any resemblance. My wife just popped her head in my study and I asked her if this reminded her of GJ (she is a GJ nut!) and she answered, "Nope". and she also said. "this one is much better." There ya go!

chanpion said on Mar. 23 '07

Oh...i almost forgot...great work on that leaf Sentre! I almost freaked out after I noticed it.

senterbrands said on Mar. 26 '07

Thanks for the comments guys!

leka said on May. 03 '07

a logo with good karma. i like that boomerang thing coming out of the cup.

Glavnicky said on Nov. 05 '07

Good Job!

logopunk said on May. 09 '10

leaf is a nice touch, but a little too much going on for me

Iflexion said on Apr. 07 '11
