Some folks really go to the extreme to get a “cheap” logo. The owner of Cabin Creek Baits let me know, that when he first started his business, “cheap” was one of his highest priorities in obtaining a logo. So much so, that he “borrowed” his original logo from a company that went out of business. And from the looks of it, he paid way too much!
The original Cabin Creek logo made one of the classic philosophical mistakes: More Detail Is Better. Maybe for a painting that is true, but for a logo, simplistic is ALWAYS better. The original logo showed a cabin with details showing each log, with trees in the background and even a bird flying over head. While I agree wholeheartedly with the essence he was trying to portray, I believe that the revised logo accomplishes it in a much more powerful way.
If you want your logo to be effective...Less Is more!
