- Good Karma Cafe

- Comp- business philosophy is governed by the triple-bottom line of people, planet, and profit. It will sell fair-trade and organic coffees/teas. Basically I added a nature element with the karma balance of yin/yang in the steam.

thir13en said: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?

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

daleharris said: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.

ryantoyota said: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.

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

kchappell77 said: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.

chanpion said: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!
