Square. It’s sophisticated. The blue color denotes calm and traditionally stands for togetherness. If you must have a smiley then put it in the “o” of “org.” But I agree with others that the smiley has been overused and seems juvenile.

Hi Dan! I just ordered your whole line of products and I LOVE the square logo on them, BUT I did also think they were a little simple. I think the ultimate awesome logo would be the blue square with the smiley face INSIDE of it, just in white instead of blue. Don’t you think that would be the best of both worlds? Not too much, not too little. Just right… kinda like your regimen!!!

i like the square

if you had to pick a smily (even though I personally don’t want that) I would say smily not filled in. I think you should look for something else besides smilies if you’re really into changing the logo.

Also, I like how the smiley face is at an angle, sort of tilted to the side.

I like the plain white smiley face, not the colored in one. Very cute!

totally open to any ideas up for discussion Dan –
I think the smiley face is good, but not as good as the square, much similar to everyone else’s opinion.

This is one of those cases where ‘the simpler the better’.

You’ve done an incredible job at giving your products a simple yet elegant look with everything in place now. Changing it would be approaching a discomfort zone for a lot of us, not to mention all of the other unfavorable things about the stomach that’s already out for discussion.

That said, maybe it is us simply not wanting a change because the way it is now is honestly just fine, in fact it’s lovable really.

It’s pretty unbelievable that such a simple icon has done wonders for product’s image. My vote is to keep it!

The blue square all the way! The smiley face is nice for the website but for the products, the square works better.
I also agree with another person who said that you could put danielkern.com instead of acne.org. This way, it still has text to go under the square.

I like the idea of the smile face but i think it would be cool to incorperate the previous symbol of just the square and the face together. You could instead of doing a blue smiley face you could put a white smiley face into the existing blue square, samfe face same size just white face into the blue acne.org square. what do you think?

At first I was attracted by the not-filled-in smiley face, because it conveys just that–a smile. However, I feel that the “smiley face” is overly done in the commercial sector, ESPECIALLY by Wal-Mart. So I would stick with the square. To quote a post made by Joe in January, your regimen and products are “serious skin care,” not children’s skin care.
Keep up the good work!

okay, if i had to choose from the options you gave, i would choose the smiley not filled in.
when you are on the home page of this website where that little video box is, you know the little pimple zit cartoon thing below the video box, i think that should be the logo exept filled in with green.

I like the smiley that’s not filled in. When you said you were thinking about a new logo, I was thinking, “He should go with the smiley face.” and then you held up the smiley face picture and I was like “Wow.” LOL. I agree, the smiley face would not only represent community, but I think it would also symbolize how much HAPPIER we are when we are on the way to getting clear.
