Good Karma Cafe
by bartodell
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.

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

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!

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?

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! :)

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/

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 :)

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

senterbrands said:

Thanks Bojan and Everyone.

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!


Feb. 25 '07

senterbrands said:

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:

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.


Feb. 25 '07

senterbrands said:

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


Feb. 26 '07

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.


Feb. 26 '07

senterbrands said:

Dont see the similarities. Can some one explain. Here ill give you a link.

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


Feb. 26 '07

senterbrands said:

Thanks Ocular!

daleharris said:

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.


Feb. 26 '07

senterbrands said:

Still dont see it but oh well.

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.

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:

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