Default Logo Design - PLEASE HELP

I have created a logo for a childrens theater - the client has requested a possible beanstalk through the lettering and the house from the three little pigs. I have created one to client's request and one other...

Please let me know what you think...thanks!!

I definitely prefer the one on the left, although it doesn't really scream theatre, to me, more nursery.

The left is more professional, the right more the run of the mill Childrens style, which may well be what she's looking for.

Not sure what else to add, I'll leave it to the others

I'll have to agree with Xenonsoft. Definitely the first one.

I'd leave those if they cover the options he wanted but then throw something more simple. I've attached a garden theatre logo I found below. I like it because its simple and represents the theatre through its elegance and the obvious simple shape of a leaf. I'd say the key is to simplify it.

^^^ What he said for sure :) Be careful of your details - thin lines and wispy bits will disappear at small sizes. Think 'it must be clear when reduced to business card size.' Reduce your colour palette.

Are you based in America? Sorry just thought the spelling of Theatre you have is the American spelling. In the UK its 'theatre'. Just checking.

Yes, Jessicas based in Savannah so the spelling is correct

I too agree with what Andy said.

Okay....I've worked on the logo a bit

• reduced color palette and details to the original "beanstalk" logo

• added stars to the the logo with the grass to give it a little theater feel to it

• added a few others...please let me know what you think

For me it's C. It works the best in black and white, although D jumped out at me.
