Below is the Clarabelle logo butterfly animation, I think it goes just perfectly with my Clarabelle logo. Let me know what you think of this animation, I would love to know.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with sunshine and butterflies. Love Clarabelle
I am enjoying doing these video poems for you and it is wonderful to hear from you that you like them too. This video poem below is called, “Language of the Heart”, I do hope you like it. Speak with true love in your heart today, speak it, feel it, live it, do it. Clarabelle
Language of the Heart
Let the dust settle, before you start,
A journey of hope, language of the heart.
Strapped in tight, on this roller coaster ride,
To-ing and fro-ing, no place to hide.
Some share their secrets, others choose not,
A silent cry for help, raises true thought.
***
Yet far in the distance, beyond empty dreams,
Appears an angel and true love redeems.
All that is, all that was,
Take a deep breath, put life in pause.
A temporary moment, that challenges your smile,
Will soon fade away, then you’ll smile for a while.
Blue skies will appear, the sun will shine,
Because your spirit is glowing, you are divine.

Clarabelle Logo
The video below shares with you the poem that inspired the “Clarabelle” logo with the blue butterfly and the Scottish tartan background. For those of you who are not familiar with the Clarabelle logo, here it is below:
It was created by my friend Jennifer, who is a fabulous Graphic Designer, after we had a deep and meaningful discussion about what I wanted.
I wanted to keep the logo quite simple with the following:
At the time of our initial discussions Jennifer handed me a piece of paper and asked me to sign the “Clarabelle” name, I then went back to her with some other ideas about the butterfly having a heart (I later decided not to use this), and she did the rest, and what an amazing job she did.
Jennifer originally provided me with the following wonderful examples for the Clarabelle Logo:
Feedback
I then used the above sample designs, to ask people I know and work with which was their favorite logo and why, this was to help me make the final decision on which logo I finally went with. I must say that the white/hearts butterfly logo above, came a very very close second. 🙂
Thanks again to Jennifer for creating this logo, every time I see it I think of this poem that inspired it.
I do hope you enjoy this video poem below, “I Wish I Was A Butterfly” that inspired the logo:
I Wish I Was A Butterfly
I wish I was a butterfly, dancing in the air,
Sparking in the sunshine, so wonderful and rare.
The beauty is in the detail, the colours so bright,
I watch you fluttering, in the magical sunlight.
You are on a journey, now you are free,
To move in the moment, like a honeybee.
Fragile in my hands, strong in the mind,
I’m mesmerised by your life, it’s one of a kind.
Sweet, sweet, butterfly, where do you go?
A soft breeze under your wings, only you do know.
You’ve awakened my soul, the world is your own,
You’ve come through the stages, developed and grown.
I look in the mirror and to my surprise,
A butterfly is on my shoulder, I can’t believe my eyes.
You represent free spirit, inside of me,
You whisper the truth, of what I’ve always wanted to be.
Today I am here, with my dreams in my heart,
The suitcase is ready, waiting to depart.
The destination is exciting, I’ve waited so long,
Now I am ready, I know where I belong.
Patience was a virtue, so evident and true,
Babysteps forward, from the back of the queue.
I’m next in line, a new chapter awaits,
As I close the door behind me and enter new gates.
Thank you dear butterfly, you’ve taught me alot,
This life is for living, as I join the last dot.

I love putting lots of focus and energy into this blog, it really feels part of me and I love expressing the voice of my heart and sharing it with you on here. A few months ago I had a meeting with a friend and artist about creating a new logo for me Based on our discussions and what I wanted, Jennifer gave me 7 designs to choose from. I then asked other people which design they liked the best and why. So almost 4 months later I share my new logo with you today – I hope you like it as much as me. If you click on the logo image below it will also take you directly to my newly updated Online Shop, “Express Your Heart” Collection – watch this space for more of Clarabelle’s original products.
I believe the beginnings of the logo came from a poem I created last year called “I Wish I Was a Butterfly”.
I would like to thank Artist, Jennifer MacLean for all her help, advice and talent towards the creation of this beautiful logo for me.
What do you think of my new logo?
Lots of love to you today,
Clarabelle.
