What’s one way to stand out in a saturated market? Create a logo that stands out.
In this PickFu poll, the user asked 50 respondents to rank three sets of logos for a kitchen appliance brand named Kitchenne.
The first logo features a greenish-blue K in a leaf-like shape. In the second design, a spoon and fork form a circle around a house. The third option shows a circle with a K inside.
Can you guess which one won?
And the winner is…Option A with 56% of the vote, edging out Option B’s score of 44. Option C came in last with a score of 16.
Let’s find out why the race was so close between Options A and B.
A gas station or a kitchen supply company?
Several respondents pointed out the similarities between Option C and the logo for the Circle K gas station.
This probably isn’t what the business owner (or Circle K) wants, and it helps explain why Options A and B got more votes than Option C.
As for why respondents preferred Option A over Option B, or vice versa?
Those who voted for Option A liked its color combo and said it looked the most modern while Option B’s fork and spoon motif felt dated.
Option A “gives the feel of high-quality products,” one person wrote. “[Option] B seems cheaply designed and would make me think it’s a knock-off brand.”
On the other hand, respondents who ranked Option B first liked its “homey” design, which they say makes clear what the company sells.
Other highlights
- 35-to-54-year-olds made up the bulk of respondents who preferred Option B
- Female respondents favored Option B over Options A and C, while male respondents ranked Option A first, followed by Options B and C
What they said
“[Option] B is perfect, it sums up what you are doing in the entire logo. I would not go with Option C it looks like the Circle K store.”
“Option B is so cool, and with the fork meeting the spoon, it indicates KITCHEN much more than do the other two options.”
“[Option] A is BY FAR the best. Easy to remember and modern and stylish. Doesn’t look cheap like [Option] C or old fashioned like [Option] B.”
“I really didn’t like any of the choices because they all felt either too ugly and/or did not say anything about the brand. Option A and Option C’s logo does not communicate anything about kitchen appliances or products. Option B’s logo feels way too generic and it feels more fitting for a discount brand of kitchen products.”
“I really appreciate the simplicity of [Option] A and how the blue shifts to green. [Option] C bores me. [Option] B bugs, as I live in an apartment — and truly it doesn’t bug, but it assumes things at a glance and might be a turn off.”
Key takeaways
Which logo should this brand choose? It depends in part on the image they want to convey. Sleek and modern? Cozy and cute? Something else entirely?
A closer review of respondents’ comments would give the brand more insights and might lead it in a different direction. After all, as one person pointed out above, Option B’s culinary logo assumes that those who have kitchens live in detached houses. And while Option A looks modern, what does it have to do with kitchen products?
