Wow really nice one for a restaurant website. Gives a nice feeling of the taste of coffee. Must be a designer from asia like myself. Others who criticize the “cup” are speaking rubbish. You guyz are so into plastic cups that you do not know the shape of a real cup. Shame shame shame…. You plastic monkeys..

I love coffee. I really like this logo. I would not have noticed the letters of CUP unless you had pointed it out. Very nice logo.

I’d agree with a few people that the ‘C’ looks more like an ‘E.’ It doesn’t have a uniqueness to it. All well, nice try.

of course we are students throughout our careers. technology/software continues to change and sometimes improve, you keep up on trends whether you decide to follow them or not, you visit sites like this and others for inspiration, hopefully you learn from mistakes, you research your client’s industries to know how best to help them, and you practice/practice/practice your talent or watch it rust! but then maybe you are the idiot savant of graphic design. if you aren’t constantly learning, then you must still be using the same software and computer you’ve had since you started your career, use the same basic fonts, follow the same basic guides outlined by a mentor or teacher without ever improving on them, etc. this does not mean you should not be proud of your talent and design skill, but without education and experience, talent and skill are simply useless. yes, I am proud to say I am still a student in my career and life. the day I’m not is the day I’m too old for this career and must then retire as a greeter for wally world.

Nevermind the drama I wanted to congradulate Jan for his Logo of the Month award. this past month was highly competitive.
Mother&Child, Riot and vividways all made it to 4+/5 with a lot of votes and comments.
So I wanted to say: Congradulations!

Tom > OK, you wont´t feel like a student. I accept that. Maybe word student is not exact term, but hope you agree, that we are learnig whole life. As the earth rotate we all must turn around in business and not become static. Even if we feel as champions or masters of design.
Funny > I dont think it is necessary. It could be used as subbrand or it can be completed with title as the name of coffe shop. It depends on Ron, how he use it.

Ron. You’re going to change the name of your coffee shop from coffee exchange to coffee cup? That’s brilliant.hahaha Wouldn’t it be better if Jan designs one with your coffee shop name with this same illustration style?
So does Jacob get a finders fee?

Welllll, I just saw this logo last night here and thought about it all night. I fell in love with it immediately. I have been searching for a logo for my coffeehouse for about two years now and just bought it from the link above today. I, and those I asked today, thought it was evocative, trendy, elegant, and fun! I’m so happy I ran across this site and saw that logo on a whim!

Jan–
“We all are students, forever on this job” I will have to disagree with that. At least in my opinion I don’t feel that I’m a student in my career. If anything I am confident when showing my work to clients and in most cases show clients what works and what doesn’t. and Educated my clients as well as other designers I work with on my team. To feel that you’re a student forever in this seems odd to me. Don’t get me wrong we can all learn new things no matter how much we know or think we know as designers but that’s about it.

“Coffee Cup” is not a real identity so no matter how many “inspiration” web sites you send this to it still will not become a real identity unless someone pays the $680.00 you’re selling this for and maybe the look of your design will be just what they’re looking for. I will also note that your description makes people believe that it is in fact for a real legit coffee shop named Coffee Cup.

Coming up with concept designs for fun isn’t a bad thing in fact it’s great to do. You have the freedom to do what ever you want without having to worry about anything along with the target audience etc. A lot goes into designing a logo and developing a brand. There are many factors that come in to play even down to the choice of colors, fonts, imagery and the reason behind each choice you make.

Don’t get me wrong you made a nice illustration of a cup that works nicely with the word coffee. That’s it. It’s a stretch to say that it spells out “cup” I like it. Along with many others.

Maybe I think to literal with things to think that this site would be showcasing logos that are in fact real legit brands.

“Logo Of The Day is a high-profile logo design award scheme that rewards the best professional logos and trademarks designed throughout the world. All suggested logos are screened by our two judges Jacob Cass & Jeff Fisher to ensure this.”

Correct me if i’m wrong but I don’t see anywhere in that description the words “conceptual work”

Take Logo Pong for example. You can post ANYTHING you want on that site. conceptual designs to logos that never made the cut to made up identities.

Maybe Jaccob and Jeff don’t mind showcasing conceptual designs. If that’s the case then fine. It would be nice to see some of your non conceptual logo/design work.

Best,
Tom
