I really like the logos with scissors in them. It symbolizes the many other products, outside of paper, used in the industry. The scissors also give the logo action. I tend to favor the softer fonts rather than the angular ones. I love the pink and orange too. Thanks
#11, I am not sure if this is the only place to leave feedback so if there is a personal place for feedback let me know. What I like best about this entry is that you incorporated the additional slogan I included. The bow looks now more like a present than and embellishment and takes me to gifts not paper. I like the idea of creating like a handmade card proxy with the logo embedded in it. I would also like to see brighter more upbeat colors.
#12, I love the tree, I am wondering can it be growing more than leaves? Can there we glue or flowers or ribbon or scissors or something else crafty coming from the branches?
What I loved about #2 is how you incorporated the scissors. I can't tell if you intended the orange to be a pot or a pencil holder. I am not sure about the space on the right of the pencil holder. Flowers are always welcome but can there be something else from the industry in the pot/pencil box?
