I'd like to explore the following colors:

Let designers make suggestions:

Hey you awesome talented people! So the name is Sunnyside Trading Co. We were thinking about an beautiful bohemian sun, or rays around the S. I am not entirely sure what I want but I was hoping the logo itself could stand alone as an image, something I can have painted as a mural perhaps or put on the sides of my truck. But if the logo is also tied into the name then I am open to it. Like you make awesome fonts then go for it! The style of the product is bohemian, somewhat whimsical, but mostly just funky and cool. Because the product is so colorful I dont know if the logo should be black and white or if it should also be colorful and decked out! I was originally looking into a lot of mandalas and sacred geometry (just because I am super into it) but not sure if it reflects that we are textiles curators with a lifestyle brand. You can check out our social medias to get a feel for the product and our company vibe. We are young and excited and a family business (my brother and I are business partners). Instagram @sunnyside_trading_company and we are Sunnyside Trading Company on fb too. But the website is sunnysidetradingco.com. Our current logo is too boring and traditional. But I do appreciate that it is so legible.

The main textile we use that you see a lot of pictures of is called Kantha, its vintage india fabric that is all hand stitched. We also work with mud cloth from Mali and other indigo batik from Vietnam. We also do a lot with Suzanis from Turkey. Basically textiles from all over the world! Very colorful.

If you look at all this and feel inspired (so like not wanting to do anything with a sun...) I am totally open! We hope that this product inspire people, that they will look at their cool chair and smile, or wrap themselves up in a soft vintage blanket and feel cozy!

I like boho styles but I am not looking for feather or arrows or other traditional boho looks like that. I also do not think cursive suits the product too well.

I LOVE WATERCOLOR!!! If thats your forte then do it up!!! I googled boho logo and love most everything that comes up. If you can make an awesome sun instead of a feathers then you hit the jackpot. And I like spirals. I am included some logos I found off google that I like.

Just to reiterate... No arrows or feathers. That is saturated.

ALSO-- We live in Asheville. So there are soft mountains here. You are welcome to include mountains into the designs if you find a way to make it work.
