Obviously I'm not a graphic designer, but does the name and branding work? I'm then only one that's like the name so far, which is a bad sign.

And my friend like this one more (lol). I think Mana is a good name because
>short, looks cool with the NASA font, brandable (to the contrary, shroom coffee co is so generic it'd be hard to brand)
>not limited to just mushrooms or coffee, brand can expand
>alliteration with mushroom, which is nice
>Mana is associated with energy like coffee and magic like mushrooms

So yeah primarily wondering how (you) feel about this as the brand. As much as I'd like to just 'trust my gut', this should be a data-driven decision imo. I want a brand (at leas the name and visual appeal) that *most* people like (or at least most within the demographic I target) - it doesn't really matter if *I* like it necessarily.

Also I'm totally open to the text being changed but liked the minimalism of the nasa font.

random slop isn't branding lmoa

>>462256
they're slop drafts to help decide the wordmark and logo. I know branding extends far beyond just a wordmark and logo, but I have a deadline to figure these things out.

>>462237
The sun logo is fun, I don't know why there is a rectangle around it. It would be better without the logo reminds me of nasa, but also give this weird xfiles vibe. The packaging with the ernst haeckel style mushrooms look good. In particular I like the yellow one.

Try lean in on the sun. Maybe more details.

the rectangle was legacy design baggage from this logo I think, which is being used for the parent company (B2B mycology company). I kinda liked the idea of them having similar styles or even repeated components, like the mushrooms being reused in the shroom-cup logo.

I'll mess with the sun more, after this post I'll drop an AI slop image I generated earlier that combines the sun and shroom-cup.

>weird xfiles vibe
I liked the vibe but then also wondered who am I targeting here, mushroom goths? lmao.

>ernst haeckel
I'll work on those variants more, I really like his art and it matches the feeling I want to produce I think.

I didn't pursue this much but here's the AI slop that combines both. Might be an effective way to keep the sun logo as the primary branding logo and the mushroom coffee product line logo both active.

the mushrooms, rectangle, contour lens and font all got AI slopped in this but hopefully it conveys the concept well enough.

pic rel was an attempt to fill some of the whitespace on this packaging: >>462238
well im gonna lounge around and generate some Ernst hackel stuff. can you also clarify this sentence for me:

@grok is this true?

The sun is maybe not a good concept for a mushrom themed company. Since the sun is either irrelevant or harmful for mushrooms

I agree somewhat, but the sun is not actually directly harmful to them, drying out is. Most growers keep their shrooms under direct lighting as it improves color and appearance of the mushroom. the particulars however dont' matter here, it does look like in reality it'd be cooking them.

the sun implies energy, wellness, etc, but yes contrast with the wet and unprotected little fungus it's blasting down on. I sorta liked the idea of using the sun and shrooms because then in other product lines without mushrooms, I could use just the sun like picrel as a master logo.

they could also probably be done to look like mountains and the sun cresting over them
