VOTING- Fiskars CIA Logo Time

- on: September 5, 2008
FYI: The Fiskateers (or Fiskars, for short) CIA will now stand for: Crafting Inspiration Agency (thanks Agent #1485!). Now we need an official logo. Please comment with the number of your favorite one (numbers 7 & 8 are animated differently by the way and I couldn’t get #9 to animate here so I left it off but you can see it HERE in Mary SC’s gallery and don’t forget the cool James Bond-y one without a number!). Please do consider if you would like to see one or more of these logo elements combined. For example, I love the folders stuffed with Fiskars tools in 3 & 4 and especially the squeeze punch being used as a magnifying glass but I like the scallop in number 5 and the ultra mysterious scissors in #12- those could probably all be combined for one logo. So take a look and do chime in with you opinions. I will choose the final design(s) based off your comments by Monday the 8th. If i left off your logo, please email me at Angela@Fiskateers.com so I can add it:

September 5th, 2008 at 1:45 pmMy vote would have to go with #12..just looks so mysterious to me..love everything about it. Great job everyone…You all did a wonderful job..so creative.
Karen #3441 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 1:50 pmThey are all so creative. I tired to pick, but i’m stuck between # 2 and # 4.
Casey #1111 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 1:52 pm12 …. LOVE IT!
Kathleen says:
September 5th, 2008 at 1:53 pmThese are all so CUTE!! I love them all. But because we need to only have 1 logo I would pick #4 but with a scallop border like #5 has. I think that really encompasses us as a whole. Good job done by everyone.
Pinky #3405 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 1:54 pmI really am in love with #12 its really fun and perfectly Fiskateer-ish
melita says:
September 5th, 2008 at 1:56 pmI like the folder too in #3 and #4 but I think it would be cute with the scallop circle in #2.
Julie Overby says:
September 5th, 2008 at 2:08 pmI think they are all super but without a doubt, I like #12 the best!
VickiF says:
September 5th, 2008 at 2:10 pmIt’s a toss up between #3 and #12! I like them both!! But if you’re going to pin me down and torture me for just one, then #12 comes out ahead!!
Lene says:

RobinV #4844 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 2:44 pmThey are all awesome but my vote is for #2
Maxine Hodges says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:00 pmI love #12.He’s very mysterious.
Amy Harle #60 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:06 pmSO how awesome are these?? Tough choice…but I’m going with #12.
Michelle 3624 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:14 pmVery hard . . . I like the scallops and lettering in number 2 with the file folder from number4 and the glasses with the shades on them from number 12
Jenn Ryan #3632 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:14 pmI like 7/8 - with both the folder opening and the blinking eyes! So cute!
Angela #3100 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:16 pmTough choice! My favorites are 5 and 12.
Tona says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:29 pmA combo choice: #5 but also put the initials as well as the words on there. Then put that over the scallop of #6. Then replace the scissor that’s in # 5 folder with the #12 scissor.
Maya says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:30 pmEverybody did such a great job!
My favorite is #12! It is perfect!
Cherrie #1790 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:31 pmI really like the logo and colors of Number 2 - but Number 12 is JUST FABULOUS…so maybe a combo of these two designs.
Cheryl says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:46 pmI like number 7. He’s so cute!
Sue #2266 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:48 pmI really like #3 and #12.
Turtlelady~Sandy #1715 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 3:53 pmOK, my 2cents. I like the black scallops of #2 and I love #4. #4 with the black scallops would be awesome :=)
Marla #3291 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 4:08 pmI particularlly really like #3 with the folder full of tools!
Rebecca says:
September 5th, 2008 at 4:15 pmI love #2 and #12… They are all so creative, it’s hard to choose just one!
Louise #3903 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 4:18 pmI think #1 is really kewl……….only wish it said Fiskars somewhere LOL!
Laura B says:
September 5th, 2008 at 4:36 pmvery talented crafters out there.
Guess I would go with #12, liked #3 too. Good luck Angela!
Robin # 2982 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 4:36 pmI love the number 12.
Danielle says:
September 5th, 2008 at 4:46 pmThey are all great logos! But I really like the scallops of #2 amd tje folder inside of #5 with the Fiskateer Crafting Inspiration Agency written out (is really nice but if we want to sound cool we want to say we are with the FCIA or CIA, oh yeah!) I love the mysterious scissors in #12 if you could combine them but that is what I think!!! Wonderful and I am excited for our first mission!
Mardi says:
September 5th, 2008 at 4:57 pmI really like them all. I love Mary’s design with #12’s design in the middle, and instead of the sun glasses on #12 use the squeeze punch on one of eyes. Everyone did a great job!
kimberlee #2494 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 5:04 pmI think #12 is very clever! I was first drawn to the James Bond one, but I don’t like that it’s a man, doesn’t really “fit” with us papercrafters–SORRY, DON!!! Majority rules, you know?
I like the colors and softness of #10.
I’m not really liking the folders or scallops.
What about the FCIA image being a tag shape? Just a thought.
Michele L. says:
September 5th, 2008 at 5:13 pmcan’t go wrong with #12.
MaryNSC 1121 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 5:22 pmI Like #12 and I love the way she did the tools in 3
I Love the scallops.O gosh I like them all this is to HARD.. I guess if I had to I would have to go with #12
But dont tell MaryNSC..
Peggy Maier #2824 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 5:45 pmMy overwhelming favorite is Number 12! It’s sleek, it’s cute, it cuts right to the point - it’s everything a logo should be!
NanaBeth #2906 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 5:50 pmGotta be #12 just too cool-you could put it in a black oval with scallops.
Jennifer Nenni #1626 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 5:50 pmI love #12! all are great.
Crazy debbi says:
September 5th, 2008 at 5:59 pmWhile every single one shows a lot of thought and design, I also need to vote for #12 - MI6 meets CIA!
Patty 2832 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 6:10 pm2-4-12
They’re all great but these 3 really grab my attention.
Love the scallop and simplicity of #2..beautiful!
#4 really encompasses what we are about !
#12 is just catchy and cute!
April G says:
September 5th, 2008 at 6:40 pmI like the james bond one. Its ultra cool! but great job ladies!
Stacy #4016 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 7:09 pm#4 & # 12 are the two that I keep going back to. Yelp! it is between those two.
Carrie Egg says:
September 5th, 2008 at 7:46 pmMy vote is for #4. They are all great though
Debby 2852 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 7:54 pmnumber 8
Annie # 1326 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 7:55 pm2,4,6 & 12
They’re all great but these 4 really grab my attention.
Love the scallops of 2 & 6
4 is what we are about secret agents for Fiskars/Fiskateers!
6 I really like the sub tile “United crafts of Fiskars”.
#12 is just cute 7 the point!
Amy #4257 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 7:56 pm#12 has my vote but they are all great !!!!!!!!
Melissa Wollmann #2756 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:07 pmhard to choose but I’ll go for 3
ColleenM says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:14 pmNumber #4 is my favorite. I really appreciate all of them! Great job!!!
Avital says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:17 pmI like number 1 - simple and cute and not too revealing…
Mojjo says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:26 pmI go with #11
Groovy Deborah says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:45 pmComing from a “retired” PI I have to tell you that my fave is #12~awesome!!!
Deborah
Betsy #2572 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:46 pmwell I do like my own..LOL..but seriously my favorite is #12 that is too clever!
Sandy says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:49 pm#12 has my vote but they are all great!
RitaS says:
September 5th, 2008 at 8:54 pmI’m torn between 3 & 12. LOVE the squeeze punch as a magnifying glass - way creative! #12 just cracks me up - fun and funky.
I love all the tools in #3 and love the clean lines of FCIA - and what about the magnifying glass words (which I can’t make out) state what FCIA stands for. I also love the one that includes more than SBing - so can sewing tools or such be added to the folder as well?
That all said - #12 has more brand identification strengths - simple, clean and memorable.
There - how is that for a vote? (LOL)
*Scrapdragon* says:
September 5th, 2008 at 9:04 pmLove #12
Judy
Heather H. 3976 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 9:07 pmHands down it is 12 for me!!!! I like all the others too, but 12 really leaped out at me - nice strong logo.
Great job everyone!!!!!
Kim Flados says:
September 5th, 2008 at 9:52 pmI liked several of them but think #5 is my favorite.
Kim F. #2921
Eva says:
September 5th, 2008 at 9:59 pm#4! #4! #4! That’s the one I’ll go for!
maddy hill says:
September 5th, 2008 at 10:16 pmDefinatly no #2 for me !
reasons …
1. It pops out on the page .
2. Its instantly recognisable .
3. The simple black and orange combo suggest serious - but the detective hat in the middle suggest fun.
4. I look at that and it says to me — these tools are seriously good at thier job , but fun to use.
5. Ive noticed the most effective logos are ones with few colours , simple on the eye and instantly reconisable after seeing it once… just think of a certain burger chain !!!
Marlene #53 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 10:42 pmMy vote is for #12!
Caroline (3546) says:
September 5th, 2008 at 11:01 pmI love number #2 it looks very professional!
Get2abeach says:
September 5th, 2008 at 11:10 pmI am gonna have to say 12 also.
Michelle #2068 says:
September 5th, 2008 at 11:45 pmI like #12 he is adorable
Lisa (#1538) says:
September 6th, 2008 at 1:13 am#4 is by far my favorite
Mary Ann says:
September 6th, 2008 at 4:30 amI like #4 because it clearly shows what CIA stands for, but #12 is so darn cute!!
Kriss says:
September 6th, 2008 at 6:05 amIt’s #12 for me. I had to look at everything twice — all the submissions were great.
Michelle 3624 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 6:27 amI know I did this once then I got to thinking that maybe I was being unfair and I should just choose onne and if that was the case I would have to go with number two because it is clean simple easy which works the best!
Kerri fiskateer #1017 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 6:30 am# 4 for me as well! but it is looking like #12 is gonna be high in the ranks !
Lynn #2244 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 8:49 amI LOVE #12
Sandy #1781 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 8:58 amAll of these designs are so cute! My favorite is #12 and I really love the bags full of crafting goodies. I like the “explosive action” look to the edging around #3 & #4, and I’m sure scalloping would be fine too.
betsy #1143 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 9:56 amI like some kind of combo with #4 and #12
Lisa M. Pace says:
September 6th, 2008 at 11:09 amI think #12 is so darn cute. Everyone did a wonderful job.
Shonda says:
September 6th, 2008 at 11:11 amI like #1 and #8
EileenW #1512 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 11:21 amCombo of #1 & 12. Great job!
Lorraine says:
September 6th, 2008 at 11:52 amI like #3 and # 4.
Linda A. #179 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmThey are all great, but my favorites are #2 and #12.
Peggy #4129 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 12:55 pmok I will put my vote in also…..I like #1, #3 and #12 but ladies you did a great job…..they all look great…
Agent #1485 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pmMy vote is for #3 and #4 for the “craftiness” #12 for the simplicity, and I agree, #2 has a great edge.
The long and the short…I agree with Angela…combine the three and you have a serious winner that would please pretty much everybody.
Karen (Ladydoc) says:
September 6th, 2008 at 1:48 pmI’m voting for #4 but with some modifications. I’d like a scallop border (not sure what color, black or orange) with little holes in it a la “Threading Water” style. I’d like the orange scissors on the right to be orange and green handled (for some mysterious reason) and to be wearing the fedora and dark glasses.
MamaSheg #2835 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 1:48 pmOh what fun! My favs are #12 & #5…great job everyone!! XOOXO
sharon says:
September 6th, 2008 at 2:18 pm#12 without a doubt….thanks.
Paula #2796 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 2:39 pmI vote for 7 & 8…which everyone has the blinking eyes is my fav. I saw it in the gallery before but here the eyes aren’t blinking for me.
jackie #4124 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 2:48 pmI’m really liking #12
Katie #4052 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 3:52 pmI love #12!!! It looks “fiskateerish” to me.
My second choice would be #7 or #8..whichever one is the blinking one. 
Awesome job everyone who created these!!!
jaci - fiskateer 4808 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 4:46 pmdefinitely have to go with four. It’s wayz awesomer!!!
Brenmarie says:
September 6th, 2008 at 9:06 pmI like number 4 the best. Close tie with number 3 thou. It was so hard to pick which one I liked better but them number 4 popped out saying to me “I’ve got the cool edge.”
Caroline says:
September 6th, 2008 at 9:28 pm#12
Rhonda 3316 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 10:43 pm7 and 8, whichever one is the blinker. 12 is cute too
Christine C #2264 says:
September 6th, 2008 at 11:23 pmI love no 12, but also love the folder full of tools and the squeese magnifing glass - if you could combine those two then surely we would have a winner.
carol :) says:
September 7th, 2008 at 12:26 amI love #12, but I would tweak it a little….flip the scissors so the straighter side was on the left then you could split the letters into “F” on the left and “CIA” on the right so it’s a bit off center. I also would take the sight lines off the glasses. You have a hard choice!
Janice says:
September 7th, 2008 at 12:48 am12 is my pick…just like it is! IT IS MY COMPLETE FAVE…although the other ones are cute!
[Amy] says:
September 7th, 2008 at 3:21 am#12… hands down. :]
Debbie Buckland #352 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 3:29 ammy vote is number 12
but it would be nice to see the fiskateer scissors (green & orange handles)
Ellen #3409 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 10:30 am# 7 or 8, whichever one of these has the blinking eyes has my vote. A tough competition with lots of creative choices. Well done by everyone.
Jessica #1868 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 10:33 am#12- I love the glasses. Great job everyone!
Cindy Brooking #2059 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 12:51 pmBeing a HUGE James Bond fan, i love that one!! It was so clever. #12 is my second fave, and #6 my third fave. I agree the the person who said that #12 looked more like easy brand recognition.
Mary W says:
September 7th, 2008 at 2:54 pmDefinitely #5
doverdi says:
September 7th, 2008 at 5:06 pmDifficult choices & definately we have some talented, creative minds when it comes to these logos.
I’d have to say that I love #12. It would be neat if we could incorporate the squeeze punch magnifier over the bulls eye. (just to be difficult but then you said to take it a step further)lol
Rae Harper says:
September 7th, 2008 at 5:59 pmNumber 12 for sure!
Christine #3586 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 6:46 pmReally like #5 (or 4, is there a difference?). To pick up on what doverdi said, I like #12 too but would love to see the squeeze punch magnifier incorporated too!
Beth B says:
September 7th, 2008 at 7:32 pmI vote for #2. I think it’s important to include the name in the logo.
karen #4500 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 7:58 pm#12! Love it–it’s my favorite! I also like #2 & #5 for the scallops. And I like the squeeze punch as a magnifying glass.
Linda #3879 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 8:04 pmWow! They are ALL wonderful and I congratulate all those who entered a design! Great job!!!!
My vote, however, goes for #12.
Vanessa says:
September 7th, 2008 at 9:22 pm#12 looks awesome!
Natalie Laney #3420 says:
September 7th, 2008 at 9:48 pmMy favorites are 3 and 13
Charlotte says:
September 7th, 2008 at 10:10 pmI like 1 and 12 best.
StampinCathy says:
September 7th, 2008 at 11:48 pmAll of the CIA Logo are just so creative. I am going to have to pick #12. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. Good to all the fisk-a-teers that entered.
Jaclyn Venter says:
September 8th, 2008 at 5:04 amI vote for #1 but I think the font must be changed to a more “serious” kind of font….
thanks for all who designed! You are all talented!
Amy G. #1803 says:
September 8th, 2008 at 6:26 amI like #12 and #8!
JennC says:
September 8th, 2008 at 8:46 am#12 is great!
Elena says:
September 8th, 2008 at 1:17 pmI couldnt see the animation but I like 3 & 4 but would prefer the scalloped edge.. very cool!
Elena
Jennifer #2932 says:
September 8th, 2008 at 6:38 pmI really liked #12!!
Phyllis #4811 says:
September 8th, 2008 at 7:10 pm12 is my favorite
Amanda #4550 says:
September 8th, 2008 at 11:17 pmI like #3!
Sarah #3020 says:
September 9th, 2008 at 12:31 pmI think 5 and 12 rock!!
Cimmie says:
September 9th, 2008 at 2:26 pmI really like #1
Stephanie #2092 says:
September 10th, 2008 at 2:52 pm#2 or #12but they are all very good!
Veronica Noechel says:
September 10th, 2008 at 5:31 pmIt’s a little late, since it said it would be picked on the 8th, but…if you’re still deciding, I definitely choose #2. I like the dark colors and the cleanness of the design. Very cool.
Linda Beeson says:
September 10th, 2008 at 5:47 pmLots of them are cute but I’ll vote for #1.
Sondra says:
September 14th, 2008 at 11:51 am1, 8, or 12
