In this ITT we modernize old looking logos.
Horrible color choice. Try a higher contrast, right now it looks like it was done in ms:paint. Also, all you did was trace it, try adding something new to the table.
Brighter colors wouldn't hurt.
>>244767
Take off the gradients and make it symetrical. Both of them look horrible because of the asymmetric carrot and gradients.
>>244770
He didn't make the first one, anon.
>>244770
the first logo was the original someone else made all i did was flatten to fit recent design trends
and yes i do understand the colours look like shit im trying to fix that
>>244774
Much better
material design is fucking overrated..
>>244783
this.
>durrr i make modern am i artist yet?
>>244767
>>244774
Both of these are pretty bad compared to the original.
Think more about the program itself and how the logo/icon fits with it.
FL studio (op pic, just in case anyone didn't know already) is a music production program.
The original icon fits with the program's UI theme, and tries to look sleek and modern to suggest a powerful program.
Your flat designs don't suggest that, it looks more like a kiddie rabbit game or something similar.
Think more outside the box with it, the fruit itself is an important part of the identity of the program, but maybe you can incorporate it into a different design entirely rather than just the circle.
Just some thoughts, to help out.
>>244837
only anon with common sense in this thread
Just a reminder.
>>244857
I still prefer the old logo, as gaudy as it is.
>>244783
Whenever someone says this I want to see their portfolio, because I imagine it's full of the worst gradients and lens flares and awful shit you'd ever see. Like they're stuck in whatever trends were popular when they started designing and never learned actual principals of visual communication.
>FLAT DESIGN IS LAZY
Okay, dumbasses.
THAT SAID I have heard good arguments against fully flat design. And I do agree that falling into the trap of anything that's a trend is a stupid idea that will look very dated soon. But that first carrot icon looked like an abomination of 2005's internet.
Let me be clear, I'm not accusing you of being a bad designer, and I hope it doesn't come off that way. That's just what I think of whenever I see those comments with no elaboration to support them.
You sound silly.
>>244837
fl studio 12 switched to a flat design
>>244857
Both icons are shit. They have nothing to do with the program, they're just a cool pattern with le Google colors.
>>244905
>material design == all of minimalistic/flat design
fuck off, shill, just because someone thinks material design is a shitty, incoherent mess that everyone praises because Google made it doesn't mean they like gaudy 2000s shit. idiot.
>>244783
unpopular opinion but yeah, i think the same, i don't even care if it's shitopinion
>>244945
I had no clue, my bad. I haven't used it since Fl 10.
I still think that my point stands, even if it has a flat style. There needs to something more to the logos OP posted, the original design doesnt transfer to a flat design very well.
Thanks for the heads up about the new UI. That top area with the buttons looks super busy compared to how it used to look.
Flat designs look like shit. I hate this trend.

It's not 'flat design' that's the issue. Good flat design is harder to execute than all that glossy web-2.0 "4D" gradients everywhere bullshit that was rightly consigned to 2008.
The issue I have with material design is that it's another company's identity. Using it looks wholly unoriginal and has more than just a bit of a whiff of amateur about it, especially since it's not a great look to start off with.
>>245055
Still looks like a hot cross bun
>>245284
And that is completely valid and I agree with you. It seems like "material design" has become a weird meme on this board to refer to anything (logos, UI elements, etc.) being flattened.

For the last time, it doesnt look good. Get the fuck out
>>245284
This.
Material design is an entire language made for interactive sites and apps.
It encompasses interactivity, animation and positioning as WELL as aesthetics. It's designed around Google products and their functionality, as well as an attempt to create a standardized UI for android applications.
Why anyone would use it for their brochure site or own companies webapp is beyond me, its another companies identity.
That said there are some really good points raised in the style guide, but yeah 'flat design' and 'material design' are far from interchangable and shouldnt be treated as such.

Just a generic fruit shape so people don't associate it with an apple or orange or something.

I dont think the newer buildings are all that to really complain about.
The Wendy's one actually looks nice. Compared to it's older look that's a relic from it's past. Not to mention, I think some of the newer ones are picked from more well to do areas.
You wont really see a BK or McDonalds like that in a cheap as fuck neighborhood.
Though I have seen it happen.
Besides, most of the buildings before were nearly the same anyway.

Look at old logo. There is so much details, gloss, shine. Logo looks originality, modern, cool. It's just intresting to look at it. You can also easily identify it.
And now look at the new one. Really? Why should look at it more than couple of seconds? There is nothing intresting, nothing originally.

Kinda seems too dark now, especially considering the fact that there's no contrast between the outer part of the globe and the inner part from the thumbnail. Maybe take it back maybe 30% to what it was before?
Let me see. How's this? Quick and dirty edit. Played with some other stuff too.
Honestly, I really liked the detailed look a lot more personally. It just needed to be cleaned up a bit, and by that I mean less that it should be minimized and more that you just had to take out the bleed out of the lines.
Also, the pseudo 3-D on the tail was rather autistic looking.
