#1
But do they sell Robusta or Arabica coffee? The bean you are currently using is a Robusta bean (straight line/fold), which is generally a lower quality of coffee. The Arabica has an S-shaped line/fold down the center of the bean. Although the difference between the two doesn't neccesarily have to be really clear. In logo's it is common practice to use the straight line for Robusta and the S-shaped one for Arabica.

4. Cos its simple, sleek and contemporary and I know exactly what it is.
But then 2 has more character and is a little more unique while also being modern.
So yeah i dont know!
sorry4!

Hey nice work! It's clear that each of these attempts are pretty strong, hence the lively debate here. I think all of these have legs, and you're doing a great job of giving your client some strong work to decide from.
I personally think #4 is the strongest, minus the warped type.
I know people in Texas are all about being from Texas, Don't Mess with Texas and all that jive shiite. Even though the rest of the country wants nothing to do with the george bush lovin, red state, you might get some mileage out of a texas silhouette (as suggested by others) in the design. If they're a Texas company, serving Texas clientele, they're gonna love it.
Most here are suggesting #1, #4 (and I agree). the two designs using strong black contrast. I really like the reversed white type on black background. if you use bold serif type, black background and some sort of texas iconography, that your client will be creaming their own coffee.

I love 2, but there will be too many questions about the lack of coffee imagry. 1 and 4 are the best for that option, text on 4 needs work and the single bean at the top of 1 concerns me, but i really like the etching style and the font.

4 is my favourite - simple and clean although I agree about adding a third trail of steam.

Quick question, that cross hatching effect, was that done manually, or filter?

Wouldn't it be better if it said "The Coffee Roasting Company"?
- out of interest - why do you say that?detritus
- Seems more authoritative I guess.such
- The: used to mark a noun as indicating the best-known, most approved, most important, most satisfying, etc.such
- Is that what you want from a boutique coffee company tho? A big corporate feel?detritus

- I don't think it gives it a big corporate feel.such

#1 because it is subliminal use of sex as an appeal to the consumer

#2 with type from #3. nice bit of archer. agree with the above comment about adding 'the'. gives it more authority.

#1 unique, simple and to the point...
Overall really nice logos Ian:)

NOT #1. I think the anatomical reference is not subtle at all.
Then again, we have a baby on the way; my wife and I have been watching too many natural birthing videos. Quickest way to cool a man's jets, I must say.
Pursue #2, but typeset it with Archer. The ball terminals will compliment the curls in the water.
