this is a visual of the concept i was trying to describe, not an attempt at a finished item.
The idea being that the peas have made the cut and the pods haven't. A variety of images could be a range of fruit, some ropey, some pristine, or prepared veg with the peelings. but always with a defined line - it'd be interesting to do to with the objects themselves rather than cropping as my visual here.
- I getcha, and thank you so much for putting in the effort, it's much appreciated.eoin

- I think there has been progress.
Still some tweaking to do. But you might want to try a totally different concept.hektor911 - Something less literal. Maybe.hektor911
- Thanks dude, but I don't know if I have any more time to devote to it, tweaks for sure but a complete re-imagining, not so much. It's holding up everything else! maybe I can revisit it when I have more time.eoin

"it's holding up everything else"
That's ok, it's only the logo that will appear on everything ever associated with the thing, not important. Just type it out in Times New Roman, it'll be fine.

- If I had the dollar to hire a designer I would, but I don't. I can give it one more day of tweaking/re-imaginin... and then I have to move on.eoin

- You've kinda got a butcher's knife shape in the negative space there. Not sure that was intentional but could work with a little tweaking!yerolda

- @qTime are you having a bad day!?eoin
- @Baskerville, that's very nice, what's the typeface if you don't mind me asking?eoin

These logos where the "cut off part" is removed just makes the logo look like it is folded over or obscured. To tell the story about the cut, you need the parts on both sides of the cut.

My personal feelings are that a knife, particularly the one you're using, and treatment would be better suited for a butcher shop/meat market than a restaraunt
and ps. i don't think your color choice of red on the blade with a black or white handle would sit to well with potential customers either.

have you had a ‘sit down and sketch concepts on paper stage with these, eion?
Strikes me that these feel like they've been entirely thought about in-computer, which I've always found limits scope and makes one revolve around peripheral concepts without much thought to 'why'.
Regardless - you need to consider display sizes when rendering words like'the' so small - also, I'm not sure why you've gone the guillotine route. Seems a little macabre for a fooderie.
- restaurant reviews can destroy restaurantsmonospaced
- No, I haven't. Yes, they have. The reason it's a guillotine is it's about making the cut, if you don't make the cut your head gets chopped off ...eoin
- chopped off ... But really, I suppose it allows the site to eventually be opened up to other things. Not just restaurants.eoin
- Thanks for the pointers, much appreciated.eoin
- @mono that's true, it can also get people fired etc. With great power comes great responsibility ...eoin

The type you're choosing lacks personality.
The name is too open to interpretation.
Not one of these logo concepts seems timeless.
Concentrate on a type only treatment in B&W.- I'm ugly.
My mother dresses me funny ... No really, I appreciate your comments. My issue with type-only treatments is where do I get nice typefaces that I can try out?eoin - doing type-only treatments is where do I get nice typefaces that I can try out?eoin

For not being a designer, you have put more thought effort and time into your task and revisions than most of the clowns out there. Good show, keep it up.
