I’m looking for a unique logo for my blog, Whole New You. It’s a blog about my personal journey of transforming my life to achieve health, happiness and be the best version of myself. My blog will take an integrated approach to health, addressing physical, mental as well emotional levels of health.
I want to focus on the balance between wholesome foods, and physical- and emotional strength, and how you can achieve this balance through mindful living (e.g. yoga, meditation). I have found this ‘holy trinity’ to be the key to optimal health in today’s world.
I feel very excited to share my experiences, tips, and explorations, since – as a result of illness followed by burnout - I have personally experienced what it’s like to feel desperate for improvement whilst not knowing how to make progress or recover.
Having said that, I consider the blog as a positive result of my experience, a chance to create a platform to exchange ideas with people in similar situations worldwide, or anyone generally seeking to improve their health. The focus will be on the powerful transition that may take effect once you become aware of the right tools to get going.
My goal is to reach a large audience, but since I’m just starting up my budget is still limited. I would be very grateful if anyone can help me out ☺.
Company description:
I'm setting up a new blog called Whole New You.
Target group:
Everyone (both young professionals as generally anyone who seeks to improve their health) interested in and/or seeking for tips or advice to improve their physical, mental and emotional health and well-being. Individuals who want to feel whole - energised, happy and healthy - and whose goal is to become the best version of themselves and enjoy life to the fullest.
The logo may have a more elegant or 'feminine' appearance but it's important that it appeals to a large audience, including men.
Colors, favourites and other requirements
To give you an impression of the look and feel of my blog I’ve created a moodboard and added some examples of fonts I’d like to use for my website. Please use this for your reference when creating the logo.
The tone of voice I will use in my writings will be optimistic, and focus on the positive benefits of the health journey: I’d like to see this reflected in the logo. I like a clean and light style, which uses the colors of the moodboard and which appeals to a large audience. The name of the blog (Whole New You) must be part of the logo, the pay-off (“Food for thought for a healthy, energized and thriving life”) can be included optionally (I realise it's quite lengthy, so I'm open to designs in and excluding it). An object may be used if you feel it adds value, but is not a prerequisite.
Keywords: original, transformative, energising, thriving, positivity, optimism, (re)gaining balance, (w)holistic health and living, self-challenge & -development, self-care, enjoying life to the fullest.
More specifically: yoga, meditation, mindfulness, wholesome and nutritious foods, travel, cultural values, nature, photography, sports.

Wow perfect, you're fast! Great to be able to see and compare it this way. Can you also show me this using the more elegantly ("thinner") shaped icon?

Just got your message, I just prepared two more versions with a slimmer image sign in combination with two different typos, maybe you like these ones even more, we'll see...
Looking forward to your reply, best regards -

Thank you! I like the new (less chubby) icon, I actually feel it balances the whole better. I also really like the font you have used (thicker one) in option 2, since the thickness of the "Whole New You" balances very well with "thinner" version of the icon. Nevertheless, I would still like to see a differentiation in line thickness to make it different elements contrast better, but in option 1, where you have used a bold font, it seems like the font type has changed. The letters are more narrow-shaped, which feels less warm or optimistic. Can you propose another logo with a similar (more chubby) font as you've used before, in bold, with the thin logo? Also, minor detail, can you make the 'T' in "towards a healthy, energised and thriving life" a caption instead of a lower case letter, so that it reads: "Towards a..." Thank you!

Hi,
attached three new variations with the changes you requested ;) The sign is smaller and I made the grey a little lighter in this version. Let me know, if this is going in the right direction, kind regards, Dagmar -
wnyblog says :
Hi! Thanks very much. I really like the second option. Could you upload it separately? Also, what I think could still improve is a slight and subtle difference in thickness between the different elements of the logo. Right now, all elements (icon, Whole New You and subtext), have the same boldness. It would be nice if you can play around with different line thicknesses. E.g., I'd like 'Whole New You' to stand out a bit more from the other elements, and I guess increasing its line thickness slightly (so it should be very subtle), would help greatly. Can you propose some more alternatives? Thank you!

Hi Dagmar, my preference goes to this design, especially because it's less dark (more greyish), and I like the icon you have used in this version best (without the extra circle in the centre). Some things that would optimise the logo are: 1) Can you please change the sentence in "towards a healthy, energized and thriving life" 2) Can you make the overall logo (all elements together) look a bit less bulky, more subtle? Maybe you can make the font a little smaller, and the icon as well, since I feel it's quite big and takes up quite some space compared to the rest of the logo. Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your submission! Overall, the logo feels a bit too light. I like the use of the colors (mainly the green shade), and the font used. My preference goes to a white background, as in the top example, but the text is quite difficult to read. I prefer a different object, since I don’t see the link between the four different parts with my blog (I could e.g. imagine an object where 3 areas are connected, seeing the interaction between the three components of health I will discuss). As for the tagline, please use the sentence used in my briefing: “Food for thought for a healthy, energized and thriving life” instead of the "my personal journey", since the blog will reflect on much more than just that. Thanks!

Hi! You can also choose to leave the tagline out of the logo, as I realise it takes up quite some space, and focus on "Whole New You" and (optionally) an object instead. Thank you!
