I'm going to start marketing a gluten-free bread and would like honest feed back on my logo design. A designer is working on it, so you're not going to hurt my feelings.
http://www.debysglutenfree.com/
please let me know if this logo on a product would convey that the item is gluten-free. There would be other product information, but this would be the base logo.

Hi,
I do think it conveys the gluten-free message.
I would think about all the possible uses of the logo.
Three-color designs can get very costly when printing letterhead, bags, signs etc.
Ask to see a 2-color and black & white version to see if it works for you.
You want to be sure it looks good photocopied, faxed, in newspaper ads, etc --- all of which will probably be black & white, and not the best quality of printing. You may want to "clean up" the lines of the wheat and the typeface of the "Gluten-Free."
My background is in Advertising/Marketing communications --- now with a real interest in the marketing & PR of gluten-free products!
Best of Luck to you...

I like it. Just maybe make the "Gluten Free" font easier to read.
Good luck!
Good luck!

I like it, also....perhaps the wheat could be made more realistic? But that's getting nit-picky.

Thanks for the feed back. I thought the gluten-free message might not be so great since the 'no' line is in the middle and not diagonal.
Ruth, thanks for all of the comments on 'uses' I had thought of the tri-color expense but not about the quality of the copy, at least not to newspaper.
I'll talk to the designer and post when there is something new to look at.

I think showing the wheat stalk shouts "WHEAT" which says "GLUTEN" to your market. Then the text says Gluten Free. I find it confusing.
It's difficult, I'm sure to create imagery conveying the absence of something.
I wish you luck!

Hi Deby, here's some feedback in case it helps, FYI I'm a working graphic artist, painter,...Green and black are not very appetizing colors, also I agree with the above that the wheat stalk is hard to read as going with the "no" sign. I think I'd start again with the image - maybe a chefs hat and a cup and saucer would be fun. I know how much effort goes into that, so your smart to get feedback at this stage. good luck - dreamhouses
