Another Logo review

[Peggy]

Yes, or at least something similar.

Cool, looking forward seeing the site get build and grow. Keep us posted.

Thanks Floris, I will.

My parents have written a few children books (rather, books for parents who just got pregnant or just had a baby, etc) and it's always interesting to see different points of view from parents about their experiences with their kids.

So despite that I don't have kids, it's an interesting topic. Especially since I won't have kids myself - but that's perhaps I would not mind talking about with others on a forum for parents. (the why and all that)

 

[Peggy]

ahh ok I understand. It'll be good to see you there.

 

[Floris]

Thank you.

 

[Peggy]

dutch which font did you use?

 

[Peggy]

Ok, how does this look? www.weheartourkids.com Click the logo to see it on the forum.

Looks good. The only thing that is a conflict - for me anyway - is the link between the logo and the domain:

Logo says - www.weloveourkids.com
Domain is - www.weheartourkids.com

Whilst the logo is a good one and the heart is a good visual and makes it easy to remember - I'm not sure I would naturally remember it as we heart our kids - do you see what I mean.

All of this is pointless, of course, if you're doing all your marketing online and people will be following existing links to the site to join in.

Sorry, sort of makes all the above dribble a bit meaningless really, but anyway, I just thought I'd make the point in case there's any validity with reference to how you're intending to market the site. If not, just ignore me and carry on regardless ...

Cheers,
Shaun

The serif font you used doesn't look bad either.

I don't think I'm following you Shaun. The logo says We ♥ Our Kids.com. That's also what the domain says.
Can you explain what you mean, in a bit more detail? I'd really like to know.

 

[Paul B]

In the UK generally when we see a heart image we translate it as "love" not "heart".

I suspect that's what Shaun means.

 

[CTXMedia]

It's just about the heart symbol really ... it can be taken literally as "heart", or emotionally as "love" so people could possibly make the mistake of thinking the web address is weloveourkids.com - you know, if they saw it on an advert or something.

So I just thought that if you are going to market off-line it might be an idea to run the web address underneath the logo to avoid people making a similar assumption.

Cheers,
Shaun

Cross posted - beat me to it ... lol

ooohhh ok I see what ya mean. I'm hoping that because the logo says we ♥ our kids.com, people will understand that this is what the domain actually is.

Also, I actually wanted weloveourkids.com, but it is taken. Click that link and you'll see where it goes.

 

[Paul B]

For the avoidance of doubt you could always write the word heart inside the heart?

Thank you my dear. I'll try this one too. I liked it in the logo you did.

Try a good American take on it weLUVourkids.com

I think you might have a chance buying that one, the fact that it is a redirected domain and not a huge site behind it is good news. You can even try to convince them to sell it for a lower amount by explaining your forum isn't a commercial one and is meant to help people. You never know they might be willing to sell it for a friendly price.

.com and .net is available. I got them and will direct them to my forum.
