Logo Design Brief

My mom celebrates her 50th birthday this year and I would like to do something special to honor her baking abilities. She sells her baked goods - from breads to cookies to pies - to friends and family for a fraction of what she could be as my hometown of 20,000 people does not have a legitimate bakery. She is not yet confident to start her own bakery, but I’m hoping this will help move her in the right direction.

I’m hoping the talented graphic designer community could help me design a logo for “Rocking Cow Bakery”...something along the lines of a jersey cow with a baker/chef’s hat on with the name of the bakery somewhere in the mix. My parents own a dairy farm named Rocking Cow Farm in Wisconsin and my mom has already started referring to her local business as Rocking Cow Bakery.

I'm fairly open beyond that though my mom seems to favor blue as a color and brown and white cows (in particular, jerseys) over black and white cows. For those not fortunate to grow up on a dairy farm, here are a few links to photos of jersey cows that I think demonstrate their adorableness:

Thank you for the fantastic designs that are coming in! Based on what I am seeing, I would like to recommend two different ideas for the logo -


1) The face or silhouette of a brown cow with a chef's hat or something to define the image as relating to a bakery without even needing to read the text. The text "rocking cow bakery" should be present but not the first thing that catches someone's eye

or

2) The silhouette of an actual rocking cow, again with a chef's hat on, with the text incorporated.

The colors I have liked most thus far are some shade of blue (somewhere between a denim blue, Columbia blue, cornflower blue I learned these names from Wikipedia so this may or may not be helpful :)) and variations of browns, pinks, yellows. Overall the images that have had a bit more softness to them have been my favorites - softer colors, more feminine features on the cow, text that is not too overpowering.

I attached images of jersey cow faces and two of rocking cows for reference and look forward to some more fantastic designs!

Many thanks,
Andrea

This was a very difficult decision, and, in the end I asked my mother to review the designs and choose her favorite. Thanks so very much for your time, energy, and creativity on this project and I look forward to working with many of you again when I decide to start my own business. :)


Thank you and all the best,
Andrea
