Needs:

Hello ! I would love a logo that can express at the same time sobriety and have a country house feel to it, I'll also have business cards with a grainy texture using recycled paper.
"L'armoire à cuillères" ("the spoon drawer") is the french name that I picked for my chocolat coffee shop as it expresses at the same time a vintage feel, nostalgia, wood, materials (the drawer), full-rounded flavour and deserts (the spoon), but it also relates to books as it's a sentence from an anti-consumerism song from Boris Vian called "La complainte du progres".
Boris Vian has a very caustic , offbeat, ironic humor. I love his intended misuse of words.
Anyway, I would like a logo that reflects on all these themes and evocative, that takes you a journey and at the same time have that comfort and reassuring aspect of childhood objects.
I don't want it to be explicit! For instance : A drawer and a spoon, or a book and a cup...

I would like something that is offbeat and reassuring (yes, impossible... (sigh) )
It could be a mascotte
I love white handwritten fonts, a bit sloppy, like our grandmas can have.
My logo will be used everywhere from labels on my chocolate paste to my future by-products ( cooking apron...)
A vector version the logo would be welcomed.

Company description:

It's a hot chocolate coffeeshop with home made pastries, and second hand books. The place is in te historical center of the town.

Target group:

Women and children!! Of course, old ladies and tourists, but for the most, it would be the 18-34 years old workers.

Colors, favourites and other requirements

I like wood, yellow and orange from East of Europe, but cold coulours from the North of Europe. So, at least, all is fine, except flashy colours!!
Thank you for yout help.

      Un personnage qui est symbole de l'hiver, la meilleure période pour le chocolat chaud...

      Pourriez-vous m'indiquer dans quelle ville se situera votre bar?

      Un commentaire? Pour m'aider à avancer, pourquoi avoir enlevé une étoile?

    4. Biskuit says :

      Pardon, ce système d'étoiles est assez horrible, je ne voulais pas en mettre mais le site m'envoie des messages pour une meilleure participation, alors je le fais, mais je trouve ça difficile. La ville, c'est Clermont-Ferrand. Pour la notation, par rapport aux autres, je compare etc, et du coup je me dis à oui mais lui je ne lui ai mis que deux étoiles, alors que lui aussi, etc. La typo, la vague et la tâche, ce n'est pas ça. L'élan est rigolo, et c'est une bonne idée, mais les bois sont posés bizarrement.

      Oui alors je sais que ça complique la chose, parce qu'il faut que les gens comprennent, mais là c'est vraiment trop explicite, une photo d'armoire, une cuillère, ce n'est pas très évocateur...

    1. Tel un Hiboux sous la pluie says

      Référence aux livres pour la typo
      La tasse de chocolat chaud
      Les cuillères en bois
      Une attention particulière aux couleurs
      La touche rétro...
      Voilà ma première proposition
      J'attends vos commentaires avec plaisir...

    2. Biskuit says :

      Bonjour tel un hiboux sous la pluie, merci de vos propositions. Je crois que le côté photo ne me branche pas trop, je préfère le côté illustration, graphisme. Le L majuscule ne me plaît pas vraiment non plus, ni la typo...
