The business is simply involved in the manufacture of popcorn. The point of difference to other manufacturers is that we do the popping in front of the customer, so the product is as fresh (and warm) as possible. Our name is M.A.D. Popcorn (Make A Difference Popcorn). The business gives a certain % of every bag sold to local charity. We encourage the customer to place a token (given to them when they buy a fresh bag) into one of 3 containers each of which represents a different local charity. We then convert the tokens to $ which is given to the nominated charity.
Our thoughts in relation to the logo are along the following lines:
• Make it fun (after all it is called MAD Popcorn!)
• Make it kid friendly (we would also like to use the logo on helium balloons to be given away with the bag of popcorn – great advertising!)
• Make it simple, memorable & easily recognisable / describable
• Make it scalable (it will be used on small stickers to be placed on the bags which will describe the contents and it will be emblazoned on the marquee)
• We were thinking of potentially a popped popcorn kernel in the style of one of the M&M characters with one hand on a cup of popcorn & the other placing a token in a charity tin?
Possibly even substitute the logo in place of one of the 'O 's in the word Popcorn...?
Hope the above helps!
Updates
Hi Everyone
Please could you use a 'popped' kernal as the starting point for the character. That way kids will easily be able to relate it to popcorn. Thanks :)

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Straw polling friends, colleagues & relatives. No doubt a couple of minor tweaks may be required. Decision will be made early this week. Thanks for your patience!

Hi All
Thank you so much for your designs submitted to date! We have now completed the straw poll and the overwhelming response has been to remove the coin & donation box. The reasons are that a. people will not be coming to make a donation (thats our part!) but simply to buy good popcorn & b. it makes the logo to complex (simplicity is best). So can we ask for the designs to be resubmitted excluding the coin & charity box?
Thanks again & we look forward to your replies and to making a final decision this week.
Regards
