Logo iterationsFor founder review

B2 chosen. Iterating.

Six logo iterations across three distinct directions. The owner has selected direction B2 (steam bowl) as the primary brand mark. The other variants below are kept for context. Refinement iterations and the final designer brief are at the bottom of the page.

Selected: Direction B2 - steam bowl. The site header glyph + favicon are already using a CSS-only version of B2. A real designer will be commissioned to vector and produce the final asset set.

Direction A - Pure wordmark

2 variants

Type-led. The fastest to ship and the most flexible. Pairs cleanly with any product UI. Lowest risk choice.

A1 - Wordmark + bitten plate
A1 - Wordmark + bitten plate
Clean lowercase wordmark with a small bitten-plate icon. Reads as a SaaS product, no aged-care cues.
A2 - Tray-handle M
A2 - Tray-handle M
Wordmark only. The 'm' has a serving-tray flourish. Most subtle, most timeless. Strongest if you want to grow into other verticals.

Direction B - Symbol + wordmark

2 variants

Most distinctive. A symbol gives you something to use as an app icon, favicon, social avatar, and pull-quote watermark. Higher upfront design cost.

B1 - Utensil monogram
B1 - Utensil monogram
Crossed-utensil M inside a rounded teal badge. Pairs well with a serif/sans-serif wordmark. App icon ready.
Chosen direction
B2 - Steam bowl
B2 - Steam bowl
Bowl with rising steam. Most explicitly 'food + warmth'. Reads instantly as a meals brand.

Direction C - Warm / hospitality

2 variants

Most warmth. Communicates care and food directly. Risk: can read 'residential' or 'wellness brand' instead of B2B SaaS - watch carefully against operator buyer expectations.

C1 - Warm script wordmark
C1 - Warm script wordmark
Friendlier brush-style wordmark with amber dot accent. Risk: could read residential / hospitality rather than enterprise software.
C2 - Leaf heart
C2 - Leaf heart
Care + freshness. Strong in social media / website hero. Less strong as a dense favicon - the leaves blur at 16px.

B2 refinements (selected direction)

4 variants

Four refined explorations of the steam-bowl direction to brief a real designer with. Each tightens the bowl proportion, the steam wisp count, and the wordmark pairing.

B2.1 - Clean wide bowl
B2.1 - Clean wide bowl
Minimalist circle. Wide flat-bottomed bowl. Three plain vertical wisps. Most legible at favicon size.
B2.2 - Rounded-square badge
B2.2 - Rounded-square badge
Apple-style 24px corner radius. Sinuous steam curls. Reads as an app icon out-of-the-box.
B2.3 - Duotone disc
B2.3 - Duotone disc
Two-tone teal split horizontally for depth. More distinctive at marketing scale, slightly busier as a 16px favicon.
B2.4 - Vertical lockup
B2.4 - Vertical lockup
Stacked variant for app-store listings, business cards, t-shirt prints. Same icon, wordmark below.
