Storefront Redesign: I need your input!

Thanks for coming back! I hope everyone is nice and organized (or thinking about it).

Moving on. I really need to make a nice cohesive look for my shop. As of now it looks like this:


It's okay, but not super exciting. Right now I'm calling my shop "Accordion Crafts". I'm not a fan of that title. Yes, I created it, but it needs to change. The only reason I called it that was because I liked the picture and I had to come up with something on the fly. This is where you guys come in.

I've been brainstorming new names based on pictures I have for the banner (the part that is currently occupied by a hand on an accordion). Once I decide on one of those I'll be able to take us through the process of making a logo, business cards, everything. But decisions are hard and I want your opinions. I think one of the most important things to do is get impartial opinions. Then you can get a better feel of how potential customers see the shop.

Etsy, as usual, has great tips on their official blog. Here are a few excellent banners they had on one post:
While non of these are quite my style they are indeed eye-catching! That's the goal here!

Now I'm going to share my ideas with you and ask you to give me your honest opinions.

Idea 1: Bouncy Ball Crafts


Idea 2: Row House Studio


Idea 3: Either Winking Eye Crafts, Wink Crafts or Winky Crafts

Idea 4: Chain Link Studio


Idea 5: Something with this cool piano


Idea 6: 45th Street Studio


Idea 7: Alley Cat Crafts (because my name is Alie and I love cats!)




There you go. Please let me know what you think. Which do you like best? Should I keep a picture but change the name? I want to hear anything you have to say. Thank you!

Tomorrow I'll have a little screen printing walkthrough for you! Fun!

Thanks for reading and happy Friday,

Alie

  1. I like Winky crafts and Alley Cat Crafts. I realize this is a lot later than you were hoping for a response. :P
