People, this why logo development is never shown in the early stages! Most people lack the vision to look past a current design and see the possibilities. More truth to the matter, this should be done on a designgers forum not a photographer's forum. I know very few photographers that can actually design something, but many who think they can.

More importantly, Annah's learning some very important skills that some designers don't get to experience until after college. I have Art directed many designers on countless design projects.

I WILL be making a few bucks...later. But right now I have over $180,000 in student loan debt, building a practice takes money for things people dont think twice about...3 tables at $12,000 a peice, $6,000 in software, 30K for an xray machine and another 5K for a processor for the films. I might just have to wait and not get a logo until I have a little more money. Just because I WILL be making money in 5-10 years does not mean I have any now.
A nice logo will help me...thats for sure. I am not banking on a logo to build a pracitice. I am trusting my ability to allow a sick person to get well...without drugs or surgery. A successful practice to me is one where I correct the underlying cause of their problem and allow them to have a longer more productive life.
Drake...when I get everything paid off and making a little money I might give you a call for your design expertise. Thanks for the comments tho.
Make it a great day.

Annah's doing some good, clean work. That said, if I were a chiropractor I'm not sure I'd want to be represented by an abstracted spinal column in which every single vertebra is seriously distorted.. I'd try to do something mor anatomically accurate...

I know this is a sucky thing to say because somebody worked hard on this, but do you know what this logo looks like to me? (besides a penis) It looks like a ten dollar logo. I would imagine that you will be making lots of money and sometimes it takes money to make money. That logo looks like you are going to be a "doc in the box" as I have called them before. I don't know why I even care, but I think you should take more pride in your business. I would never trust my body to anybody who didn't have enough gumption to get a better logo. For real. You look cheap.

EDIT:okay, this is going to sound like pandering... but I just looked at annah's port. I don't know how I have missed her. beautiful. Added to fav's. I am truely inspired.

So..what do you recommend?

But metallic silver is very nice, or even metallic copper.

Well, if you really want to get into color meanings, I would suggest some greens, which represent life, renewal, growth, nature, and health. Blues are also nice.It is relaxing, calming, and cooling, but can also be seen as cold, impersonal, and sterile. While these are both cool colors, I tend to like warmer shades better. Orange would be nice, as it is energetic, vibrant, and warm. I wouldn't really recoment gray, however. It can be viewed as a cool neutral, and conservative, but it seldom evokes strong emotion, and can be seen as cloudy or moody.

So..what do you recommend?

Looks good. Now we get into the more scientific side of colors. Sense this is a chiropractor, we want to convey the feeling of calm and relaxation. There are colors that do this subliminally. Silver / grey conveys trust and security. Try to to do some research on the net to find more.

One color, as in the whole being that color. What you'll do is make an 8.5x11 with as many fo those logos that you can fit on that page and make each one a different color. Rikki's green is pretty nice to start the first one with.

One color. Okay...like the whole thing? or just the spine? just the words? :-P

...everything that is black should be changed to a color.

My favorite graphic is the one Anna did on the third post from the top. It looks clean and profesional.

I deceided to give it a try too. It was fun, having never done anything with graphics before.

rikki this is very professional looking! I really like it alot. It is very classy too.

The color green symbolizes life, nature, fertility, and well being.
It is the color of nature, fertility, life. Grass green is the most restful color and symbolizes self-respect and well being. It is also the color of balance. It also means learning, growth and harmony.

Green is favored by well balanced people. It symbolizes the master healer and the life force. I figured these meanings all fit within Andrew's profession.

As far as the text is concerned, typically you try to stay away from serif fonts as they are distracting and sometimes inappropriate in logo and graphic applications. All of the fonts chosen for this particular logo are san serif fonts - clean, clear, and unobstrusive.

The symbol is a derivative of what Andrew initially posted when he started the thread.

Logos by themselves need to be clean, crsip, and simple yet straight to the point. Logo design should always be imagined as fitting all sorts of different applications such as memo pads, envelopes, business cards, etc. basically, the simpler the logo the better it is.
