So, 2019 was a bummer of a year for me. I developed a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (or Afib for short) and spent the last half of the year in and out of the ER and doctor's offices trying to control it. If you've never heard of it, it's when your heart rate suddenly goes 100 miles an hour. It's very unpredictable, scary, uncomfortable and exhausting. So, needless to say, I didn't get a ton of sewing done the last half of the year.

I felt like a walking zombie. But after 3 months of that, in November, I had a procedure called a cardiac ablation which froze the heart cells that were causing the problem. Thank God for modern technology- this procedure has only been available in the last 20 years. I'm 3 months post procedur...
Ann's Sewing Experiments
Hey, I get to go first! I really like the marker scribble heart (your original) - it's modern and fresh.

ReplyDeleteI guess my feeling is "If it isn't broken, why fix it?!" People are used to the tried and true logo, and if you change that, I think then people will begin to think "uh-oh, have owners changed, and what else have they changed?" The change could be a good thing - or not. Perhaps just updating the present would be best.
ReplyDeleteBefore I saw this post I'd already thought about this.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was getting one of your patterns out to work on and as I looked at it I found myself looking at the logo. I thought it's so simple yet appealing and sophisicated in its simplicity with the scribble heart. The heart works with "baby" and "sew" tells me its about sewing. I wouldn't change it.
The middle two with the flowers don't work for me because I "see" floral and my brain wonders what does that have to do with Sew Baby? The last one's ok but too cutesy for me. Plus the sewing graphic I think is kinda ho-hum typical.

Of these choices, I like the 4th design but prefer the colors of #2, so i can't vote in the poll.
