I think while the type is very appropriate, the extrusion thingy takes away some of its elegance and seems to unbalance the whole logo. Its spiky appearance that doesn't really match the roundness of the letters, so it looks like a foreign element. It also reminds me more of a pineapple or a tomato rather than a pomegranate.

If I were to chose between the two, I would too select the bottom one.

You should use a font nobody else has yet... Maybe even one that's still
in development... Especially if it has that rare "g" you seem to favor...

Hrant, you make me smile. Thanks for pointing out lil' Ernestine.

The existing font looks like some kind of Souvenir to me? And I personally think
it looks surprisingly fresh in this, but inherently has a sort of softie retro vibe.
If that's intended: great.

I don't like the script as much.

Also, I would recommend licensing a legal copy of Souvenir. JasmineUPC seems to be a rip-off.

Yes, I really like it at this size. It's just subtle enough.

I agree w/ Lex, script is not a good option.

First looks quite good, but I have two nitpicks. First is the font outline, it seems to be taking away from the 'home' feeling you are after. Second is the placement of the 'flower'. I'd move it closer to the top of 'g' because right now the area between it and the 'r' looks rather cluttered.

The detail is so small that initially when I first looked it seemed more of a mistake or accident. I appreciate the concept, but I think it would be better executed on the o.

I thought it was a cutesy spelling meant to sound like "lemonade". I've been resisting the urge to comment that they might want to reconsider using a name that sounds like "bomb a grenade".

Whew. What a relief!

new concept - any good?
Not sure about the font yet.
q.- when I download a 'free font' from the web - do I still need a license?

Typeface-wise I think it's better, but the "pomegranate sprout" is hard to recognize as such. It looks more like a grass bunch, and it will probably continue to look like that under Ms. Tiffany's suggestion.

Why not try and use your original idea here, either with G or the O ? I'd also consider removing G's bottom-right extrusion, i.e. make it look like G in Locator Display.

Step back and don't over think it. You were onto something with the first set of ideas.

You can almost feel the flavour of the pomegranate mix with the warmth of the bread ovens. The new concept, in my opinion, feels more like a thick cut of steak.

The small flourish on the g's ear was brilliant! Adds a glint of magic. Like Miss Tiffany was saying the round shape of the o may be better suited to the treatment. And, grow that sprout. Bring out this fun feature so people will actually see it.

yo !...like the bottom one .....fonts are appropriate,
i suggest u can try the leaves in the letter 'g' in green colour, it might give a strong and elegant look.

Not sure about the descender, but the top extrusion no longer looks like that of a pomegranate. It needs to be pointy, like such. The version of it that you had in your original version was the closest to the real thing.

Also, the single color version is better between the last two .. that's unless you want to go with a high-contrast colors, like dark gray for the text and red for the extrusion (which could actually look quite nice).
