You all know that I have been talking about the changes that are coming and everything that i have planned out. Today was I was spending some time searching for a new logo. I have a few in mind but I find that I a little stuck and would like to ask your opinions. I will tell you a little about some of the logo ideas that I have and I would like for you all to tell me which you would like to see. Now I know that some of these will sound odd but I promise that when I decide I will make sure that I explain to you all the reason behind the logo and my thoughts.
Flowers
What are you thoughts on flowers? Any particular favorites? For me I love all sorts of flowers and have seen several logos that feature them and some artists that have some very beautiful ones.
Retro Camper
Okay I will admit that when I first saw these I thought nah but the more I look the more I think maybe? So tell me your thoughts on those sort of campers, although I will admit that I haven’t found the one that I like the best yet.
Animals
I saw a few that were awesome that featured animals. One had a bear that looked awesome! Another had a beautiful colorful horse while still others had dogs or even roosters that I love. Any particular animal thoughts?
Southern
I have seen deer antlers with flowers, deer heads, mason jars, and a few with sweet tea. Some of these appeal to me while others are just well so not me that it isn’t funny. What are your thoughts about these? While I call these southern any of the others already listed could easily be considered that as well.
Simple
How do you feel about simple and plain logos sort of like what I have now? Is that too simple or the way you like to see things?
While I know that in the end I am the one who decides I like to have the opinions of my readers because it helps me make my decisions. Hopefully in the same way my reviews help you sometimes. Are there any other ideas that I didn’t discuss here that you like or have seen an awesome logo that I need to check out? I am down to the last few things and this is the biggest piece that I need to have done before I launch the rebrand.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Any of these could be really cute and pretty. Go with what is You.
Side note: Are you from the Carolinas? Georgia? The eastern parts of the South? I’m from Louisiana and Texas, and we don’t say “sweet tea.” Even though we offer sugar and drink it sweet, we call it “iced tea.” I never heard it called “sweet tea” until I lived in South Carolina for a while where they serve it too sweet 🙂
Also, most of the cliches about the South don’t fit me either. I’ve never had a deer head on my wall and only use mason jars in the kitchen. And even as a Texan, I don’t wear a cowboy hat. And though I love horses, you just don’t see many in a town with a 26 lane freeway (I’m not kidding.) Nothing against any of those…just not me. You have to go with what You love.
Yep I am totally from Georgia!If you ever heard me talk then you would know right away cause my accent is thick. My sweet tea would probably give you a diabetic coma although I have begun adding less. I wouldn’t know what to do in a town with a 26 lane freeway!! It would freak me out. I only use mason jars in my bathroom although I do have a set of glasses that my sister gave me.
hahaha–Georgia! Mt accent leaves no doubt in anyone’;s mind that I am southern! That 26 lane freeway is in Houston, TX…and they are talking of adding two more lanes. *smdh* I’m in St Louis now—sort of a culture shock.
You ask some interesting questions – personally I love flowers – all kinds of flowers. Personal favorite are yellow roses which were in my wedding bouquet. I guess I prefer simpler logos versus fancy. I think choosing one that expresses who you are would be my input.
I am so torn and you all should see my list. Although I think this morning I have a much better grasp on what I am wanting.
You have some great ideas, I would like to see Southern just because who doesn’t love the South and the retro camper only because I love retro and I think it would go nice with your site
I was nervous that no one would think the camper would be a good fit. I may have something created that is a combination of several things. See how that goes.
I would go with the Southern too, just because youre from there. I do like simple layouts though. Some of the more complicated can really slow load , so simple is best. Your comment box is acting kinda odd BTW!
Thanks for letting me know. That is one of the reasons I went ahead and changed the theme so we could figure out anything acting weird. Can you tell me what seems weird to you? I end up seeing it as an admin of the site and what I see may be different than what you see.
It seems to me that the most important thing about any logo is that it reflects you, something distinctively you. The flowers, camper, and animals all sound pretty, but what link to they have with you? The Southern images would work, since you’re a Georgia gal, but your blog isn’t necessarily about the South. What about a camera? What about a simple image of a country home? Perhaps some pretty calligraphic representation of the initials “RR” (Rita Reviews)?
Whatever you decide, I’m sure it will be lovely and perfectly Rita. I’m looking forward to seeing what you choose!
Anne,
You gave me such wonderful ideas! I have used a camera in the past and liked it. I am still so torn about which one I really want to use so I am going to test drive, so to speak, a couple of different ones over the weekend and see which one screams PICK ME! Then if all else fails I will send it to the peanut gallery, i.e. my overly opinionated family, and see their thoughts.
Good luck! I hope you find a logo that makes you happy. That, after all, is the most important thing. 🙂
What I am seeing in the comment box, is that the typing is starting in the middle rather than at the right. It isnt terrible, just a bit odd . I will try and get it to stop in the middle to see if it shows that way when I m done, I like the rest though it is nice.
OK the above was left and the words it is nice was in the middle, but it did go back to the right when coming in as aa comment. Maybe something in the code?
