Logo Design Brief
Café au Play is a coffee house establishment targeted to stay-at-home mothers or daytime caregivers with children five and younger. It has a warm café atmosphere and a place where adults find interaction, friends, conversation and a safe and suitable play area for their children. In addition to café fare of coffee, espresso and latte drinks, Moms and children will find suitable refreshments, light fare and unique snacks to complete the café experience.
The logo needs to communicate that is a place that is kid-friendly, and simultaneously communicate that it has a café ambiance, what one would find a cafe that serves espresso and latte drinks, with background music and decor in line with expectations . The logo will be used as the primary storefront signage in a location that's in suburban Philadelphia. In a glance it has to say: coffee with kids welcome. As a mom, I can bring kids there and get a coffee and friend break. It's not fast food, it's not cheesy,it has atmosphere and products that rivals any grown-up café.

Reason: I'm having trouble deciding. The logos I'm trying to decide between are distinctly different, and I'm attempting to isolate what impression is most important.
The designs I've received have been phenomenal and I thank everyone for their time and effort.

Requirements
Nice to have
- Coffee mug, coffee beans. Not mandatory, only if it makes sense/works.
Should not have
- I don't want to see anything that's SO kid-friendly that it's too juvenile and could be construed as simply an indoor play space: balloon letters, primary colors.
