Remember the old logo test? Well, I listened to your suggestions and went back to the drawing board. I’m working with a new designer, who is taking a slightly different approach. How do you feel about these options?
Please vote for your favorite of the bunch:
Some of the criticism last time was pretty harsh, but that’s okay. Bring it on! Our goal here is to create something that captures the essence of Get Rich Slowly. We might not come up with the perfect logo (and site redesign), but we’ll try to offer an option that is, at the very least, good.
I think it’s so cute how that little turtle is stretching his little leg forward to walk…

That’s strange. It’s not displaying results now. I wonder of Quibblo is wonky…

I voted for the turtle on the coins because it can stand alone e.i. without the “Get Rich….” wording

My thoughts- number 2; however I’m not sure that the contrast between the black and green text is enough, so slowly in green looks a little odd.
I agree the front leg reaching out is cute, but the back legs look a little wonky to me- of course I’m no vet.
Finally- shouldn’t we be referring to him as a tortoise; or are you just a fan of turtles and not Aesop’s fable?

It’s come a long way from your earlier drafts. Looking good…

I vote for nr 4

I was a none of those. The Rockette agreed too. We liked the bottom one the best, but none of them seemed up to a blog of your standard.
The green text in number 5 throws it off.

Maybe it’s just me, I just don’t like the turtle on the coins, maybe it’s the 3d coins and the 2d turtle, but it just doesn’t look right to my eyes.

I would actually suggest turning the turtle up on it’s tail to make the G shape. (can’t vote as my iPhone doesn’t work the the plugin you’re using (probably flash)

Make the turtle bigger, so he is the same height as both lines of text. He looks off balance and out of place when he aligns with only the top line.

Like the effect the turtle gives to the word “slowly” in #5.

I think #5 is the best. I don’t like the two options with the coins. Being “rich” is different to everyone. Some people don’t care about money at all, they want to be “rich” in family or spiritually and may be turned off by the money in the logo. I think #5 is the best of the other three options because having the turtle in the middle balances the logo better and allows the sub title to be more prominent. Its a good line, so it should stand out.
loading....
I like either #4 or #5. The coins just are not quite right in my opinion. Looking better though.
loading....
I voted in haste for number 2 but after looking at them for a couple of minutes think I prefer number 5 much better. There’s something about the tortoise between the words that says “Get Rich (wait for it) Slowly”. And he looks like he’s walking. I don’t know, it just really appeals to me.
I do think these ones are better (sorry previous designer).
loading....
I voted #5, but I think if the “GetRich” was in gold color, as in #1, it would be perfect. That, plus a slight adjustment for the “Personal…” line, which isn’t centered correctly in #5.
Another thing you might try would be changing the font to a sans-serif one, as those read better in logos.
loading....
I liked #5. I guess I’m a little slow but it took me a few minutes to figure out what the turtle was walking on in the first two (duh!) and that was distracting!
loading....
Consider this.
I think there is great value in seeing this blog after having heard all the quick rich schemes. so to play up the contract, can we introduce the sleeping hare in #4. from left to right (reading sequence) we have the sleeping hare, Get Rich Slowly (text) and the walking turtle… and I would posit the turtle is in front of the words since he’s facing right. maybe worth a try..!!
loading....
I prefer #4 because the turtle doesn’t break up the flow of your site’s title.
I read it as: “Get Rich Slowly” then I see the turtle, which looks like it leads somewhere – the journey to getting rich, perhaps. (it also looks like it is pulling the words; nice flow). I also prefer the smaller font in the subtitle.
When I look at #5 I read it as “Get Rich” a turtle? “Slowly”
Oh, OK, now I get it. Get Rich Slowly, with a turtle. Cute. I think.
Something about the turtle in the middle of the title is distracting… like it is trapped. The larger font for the subtitle adds to the feeling of the turtle being trapped.

I like #3 the most. I wonder if the tagline at the bottom could be extended to sit under the turtle as well as under GRS. I think in any case the turtle by itself is better than turtle+coins. It’ll stand up better to a Black on White as well as a White on Black test.
loading....
I seem to be in a minority, but I really like #1. I think the coins are great. I agree with commenter #2 than the coins and turtle could stand alone as a logo and still get some of the idea across.
My second choice is the last one. I think the turtle before slowly emphasizes that word more.
loading....
I think #3 is the most profession of the five. #5 is too cluttered…
loading....
While its good to get input from users, go with your gut. The strength of a logo is really developed through the rest of your marketing efforts.
loading....
I like the 4th one out of the 5, but I think the tag line should be the same length as the GRS text and the tortoise bigger.
Also, what I think the logos could benefit from, is to have more balance. The large message I get from GRS that has helped me so much in my quest to get rich is that you need balance; balance your budget, balance your mindset, etc.
I would say to use a font that has a consistent line width and make sure everything lines up (like the tag like and GRS text). I did a quick mock up of what I am talking about. Just some spacing and font and trace over of their turtle.

To be blunt, the coins look like they were created by a middle school student with some graphic design program. It gives the effect of looking cheesy, cluttered, and amateur. I think your blog is more deserving than that!
loading....
None of the above.
The original logo is the best so far, no need to “re-brand”.

#5 Because “Get Rich Slowly’ is a process, just like the saying “Life is a journey… not a destination.” #5 looks like you’re in the middle of improving your financial life… step by step by step.

I like the 5th one the best. I think you could throw that in different locations and it will still work. I like the turtle centered across the title and the motto. Throw that on some T shirts and sell em 12 dollars a pop. Put me down for an XL!

I see what you’re aiming for, but I have to say that I don’t think any of these are really what I’d expect for a site like yours. I’d take #3 as a starting point, but it needs some work.
Plus, do you really want to emphasize the “slowly” part, or the “get rich” part? I think the “get rich” part is more important to the blog than the “slowly” part. Both are important, but I’m not sure your logo’s going to reflect the essence of the blog.

I really like the 1st logo. I agree with posters #2 & #19 in that you could use the coin / turtle as a logo byitself if you wanted too. It would help build brand recognition once you have been using the 1st logo for awhile.
Does anyone remember the logo for these two polo shirts? polo pony & golden bear? Well everyone knows the first is Ralph Lauren, Polo and the second is the Golden Bear Logo for Jack Nickalaus.
I also think the gold letters on #1 make it stand out more as the black fonts are not real pleasing to the eye. Maybe you could also try the “get rich’ letters in green and change the ‘slowly’ to gold? I don’t believe that most people will not understand what the turtle is walking on as one poster added earlier.
Thanks for letting me add my opinion.
