Bumble Bee Coffee Logo

Brief from client
The client simply wanted a fun, playful and high contrast logo for a mobile coffee van. This was the end result.
We ended wrapping the mobile coffee van to the shape of a bee which looked great.
The bee I drew simply with the mouse and pen/pencil tool in illustrator. It's loosely based on a bee but looks a little like a wasp. The client was happy with this final design.

Like the bee xD But is that wings or antennas ?
Wings :)
Their coming off it's back. It looks a bit like it's head but it's back is slightly higher.
The bee reminds me an indian... And sorry i think that you can do a better job with the typo... try diferente fonts.
I see what you mean thanks.
Firstly is it a brand of coffee aimed at kids?
Secondly, a logo is usually two or more ideas merged into one visual device. You have a great opportunity here to combine the appearance of a bumble bee with a coffee bean, but you've just done a cartoony version of a bumble bee and some pretty unfitting type.
I think you should reboot the whole thing and start again to get some kind of concept.
The client wanted the cartoon look. It's for a coffee cart in the shape of a cartoon bee something classy would look out of place.
The end logo was worse than this because they decided to change the name to Buzzzzzzz Coffee...
Thanks
Yeah i didn't mean to patronize you. Clients usually stand in the way of good design :D.
I still think cartoony can be 'classy'...
