What have you come up with since?
Was thinking about using this a couple of weeks ago, but grew a brain and realised that it is just so fucking plebtier.
trying to come up with something better, but have too much other work coming in so I don't really have time to focus on it...
First name starts with M.
>>264075
>grew a brain and realised that it is just so fucking plebtier.
yup
is it always you who kept posting variations of this?
just grab a blank sheet of paper and do something completely different - from scratch
do at least three
put them aside for a day or two, and break out your same rote format
>>264073
I love this. Something's off about it though. Might be that the logo is to thick. Not sure. Love where you're going with it though.
>>264075
Have you tried making it look more like an M? I get that you're going for the implied shape, but maybe just a bit less implication would make it more unique.
Here's mine that I've been playing with. I only just decided to start doing some freelance work. Looking for a harsh critique
little rip off but meh
I've been using this, but I really think I should just drop the logo entirely. I don't do much freelance anyway.
>>264156
Thanks. Thought about what you said, and made some changes. I'm not sure which one i like more
>>264171
I dont like looking at this any larger than coin-sized. Small it looks fine, but any larger and its rough on my eyes.
>>264172
This is great. I bet this looks awesome on a business card
>>264176
I feel the same...
>>264075
It's very "Autodesk" looking
>>264156
It may just be me, but I see a pair of testicles.
>>264171
What's going on with picture related?
>>264073
>>264122
>is it always you who kept posting variations of this?
I posted my old logo a couple of weeks ago
>>256317
If that's what you mean, have not posted any variations of this logo before though.
But I know how to design a logo, I usually sketch 15-20 variations of a logo before going forward, I just don't have time at the moment.
Was going to take time off, at the time I posted the first image, to rebrand myself completely from scratch, but I got too much work lined up. Will probably do that at the end of summer when it dies down. The above image was part of my first spur of ideas that came out of trying to incorporate the 3D side of my business with the graphic design side.
Appriciate the critique though, good to know I made the right choice in scrapping the idea. Will probably be back with the new concept showing it off to get some feedback once I get time off in the summer.
>>264156
Thanks for the feedback, and will take that into account once I restart the project.
And right back at you I don't really like the font. I would play around with it and maybe even go for a serif-font.
The mark shows real problems in the way you've used the pentool. Pic related.
Makes me think of a heart or brain, possibly both.
>>264171
I'm emailing TSM right now so they can sue you. Have fun.
not personal but r8 this one i just made for a guy from wsr.
This is mostly a placeholder for a logo of the ideology I want to represent... Fascism

>>264386
It's alright. Shadows are fucked though. Look at where your light are coming from.
>>264551
The part I circled in red, why is it there?
This is the logo I've been using for the past three years. I'm thinking it might be time for something else. Opinions?
Please rate.
I think I could really need some help on this.
>>264640
Thicken the white divider lines and find a better font
>>264640
you're welcome
>>264564
generic-hipster/10 but it works fine since no one cares about that.
>>264669
Logo is better imo, but that font is god awful
i know it's just a font but i'm not so creative
I'm using this mostly on crowdsourcing places and for small time freelance stuff where I live, it's on my business card and so on
This is my personal logo. I went with orange-yellow because I like that it represents the month that I was born (October) and black to create a contrast. The glasses is because I need to wear glasses and the scarf is because I like scarves even thought I don't really have a scarf to wear. I just think it's "cool".
>>264640
looks like a the sims plumbob
>>264669
This is... really nice.
Do you mind if I actually use it?
From my freelance days like 6 or 7 years ago. No longer in use, and wasnt ideal because some sculptor/artist was/is using the name.
Not posting my current agency logo because 4chan. Fuck I've come a long way since this, though.
personal logo, initials M.L.
I think the bold yet simplistic design beautifully illustrates what it is that my company does

not really a logo, just some dumb bullshit I made for my tumblr

wtf is it supposed to to say Devastation?
becasue you speieled it wong you cunt
>>264754

Never seen something that had the g dropped off of it before?
and I didn't put a ' because the font didn't have one and I didn't care
>>264757
well alrighty
but it was an O that was dropped?
anyway its very 80s disco so im not even sure what its meant to be but g/j i guess
>>264762
Devastating -> Devastatin'
>>264745
You sound sarcastic.
>>264699
bruh, when making a design, you MUST understand that you are what others think about you.
What concept do you want to transmit?
What idea you want to transmit?
From that logo, the ideas you transmit (to me) are:
>teenager learning how to use Flash
>wants to make silly animations to post on newgrounds
>you like funny things
and that's it, you don't look like a professional i would hire to make designs to my organization.
study more, pratice more, true advices.
Pls rate harshly, I need to improve
>>264722
Nice, clean af, but it's not easy to read which makes it uninteresting
>>264718
this does not represent anything
>>264825
I'm not teenager and no I don't want to make silly animation. I used to have a different logo but I changed it to update it. I want to work more in illustrations more than in anything.
>>264887
Then you definitely need to work on that logo. A logo shouldn't be "a combination of things I like" but more "what my company represents" I don't think your company represents glasses and 'cool' scarves
>>264893
well it's true that I lack professionalism, I mean for 6 years I've been trying to finish my college desktop publishing course (which is normally a 3 years course) I just kept failing and failing course but now I'm nearly done. I must work on my personal Web portfolio. I much prefer my old logo. What it represents is my interest into illustration, why a sheep? Because it's like the black sheep, the shy lonely type, but I've never been good at explaining why I choose a specific colour. I lack confidence when I start a project and I find it hard to get past the "blank page" syndrome.
>>264899
That logo is much better than the emoticon one.
Just keep going with it, all it is is practice.
>>264901
the thing is that I've been using my newest logo in pretty much all my recent projects, I'd have to change and reprint my projects using my old logo. The thing that bothers me is that I lack income to pay to print anew the projects.
>>264722
Looks good. Doesn't need the crown though
>>264699
is this clip art?
>>264718
you sell triangles?
>>264859
the line in the back serves no purpose and is ugly. the stroke is shit. and the whole concept of just overlapping 2 letters is shit. rethink the whole thing
>>264945
no, I worked on it in illustrator. I had started with sketches and then traced it in illustrator CC. The "JS" initials are hand-made and not an actual font.
no bully, I'm amateur
tired of using anime faces
criticism please, be brtual
>>264953
The result of that funky square.
also
>Beats
>>264948
The line in the back represents a car's silhouette, what can I do to make it clearer ?
I made a logo for my skate company I've been starting. It's a sunset but I can't shake that it reminds me of the Nike check which bothers the hell out of me. I'm amateur af so harsh rating.
>>264964
make it solid...?
>>264953
that's quite literally the Beats by Dre logo with a square instead of a circle.
>>264073
Grats on using a premade font and unimaginative double-a.
>>264965
Doesn't look like a sunset.
Looks like a hat and hair sans a head.
Work more on making it look like a sunset.
Then well worry about the other problems
>>264859
Huh, another AM name logo.
I used to go with a simple:
A
M
You know, like it was a pencil, but the last time I tinkered with a logo I settled on this.
>>264980
Woah, unimaginative? I didn't think so, but I'd love to know how you'd change it.
>>264906
if you use a better logo, you'll have more income.
>>264989
noyce but there's something that bothers me
>i don't know what
My own self brand. The letters are my initials. Be honest, see if you can work out all of the individual letters as well. Also does it sell well for a designer who works strongly with type? It's basic, I've had some people love it and others say it's too simple and more like something a blogger would do, but they weren't designers or clients. Also the mugshot is not me, just a google image to show an application example.
>>265107
The idea is nice, but i-D have been doing it for 36 years...
>>265108
Yea, I have to admit I was wondering if it was too similar, I saw them as a kind of primary influence for this one. I suppose it's an issue if it's so obviously associated.
>>265107
< reminds me of this (very well know designer)
>>265109
In fairness I was just looking at some i-D stuff so it was fresh in my mind. I think the yellow on the guy's face is just too close, the logo itself could probably work with a bit of tweaking. Some constructive criticism: it looks a bit off because the different elements are different thicknesses, if you change that it would be an improvement
>>265091
I'd say it is the border, it is a different hue than the logo.
>>264989
Make sure to check your colours. The AM is a different shade of red from the border.
>>265107
>>265113
Ended up settling on two. I'm debating on whether the terminals of the C should be made to the same thickness of the J, but I like the way edges line up. I sort of feel like there is too much potential to scrap the idea because it is too similar to i-D.
>>265055
well I haven't finished my technique yet. I still have two french course to finish in autumn because I failed one of the course last december.
>>265130
I love your stucture and thought, but I'm not thrilled by it. I feel like it could be because the left eye is the one blinking, but that could just be a personal bias.
I do think you should blur your face out more on the image overlay. I'm drown more to your eye than the logo. If your skills are good, it could be cool to turn your face feature-less and overlay the logo on that. Could help you hook by hitting that uncanny.
>>264073
I don't have the .png in my phone and I'm too lazy to go get my laptop, so here is a pic. Don't mind the "aus Rikkert" I just added that to give some sort of label to my binder, but the "r" square is the logo.
The orange looks dull but I have no idea what to do to make it look better and I'm not sure whether I should name it just "ORANGECAT" instead of "ORANGECAT DESIGN"
I did this one for myself. I would really love some critics
>>265426
Change the typo for another more rounded and thick. Also erase that black line in the ear

Question for you guys, working on a logo for Planet [flower]. What's space themed that I could use for the stem and leaves leading up to the flower-looking planet?
>>265449

>>265463
Shit that's a good one, was stuck on this for a while and all I had was an asteroid being pulled into orbit idea that had a doomed execution from the start.
Thank you, much appreciated.
>>265436
Well, it's not the exact font, but i guess you are right... Gotta say it's accidental since i never noticed GTA's logo (i stopped playing that saga on the 2nd)
Anyway, thanks.
>>264553
I agree this part really rubs me the wrong way and messes the whole flow a continuous line thats being bent into your design. Is jz what your spelling?
>>265427
I like this a lot. Nice job anon
Don't have a digital copy on my phone so here's a cropped pic of a resume. The pics grainy but obviously it's vector so it printed pretty nice. I'm looking for architecture and environmental graphic related work so that's what inspired the isometric idea. Obviously my initials are SA
What do you think?
>>265426
I hate that "design" text overlapping the other. Move it down.
>>264551
Are you kidding me??
>>265574

>>265580
Fucking hate the TSM logo, because the T is in the middle...it doesn't say TSM it says STM, which doesn't make any sense.
Also it is similar but it isn't lawsuit worthy, doubt TSM would win that case.
>>265561
Thank you! If anyone can tell me something to improve it, i'll be really glad.
>>264669
Change your font.
>>265625
I personally don't like how this is angled. Maybe a less extreme angle would look better
these aren't even my initials

Hmm, never noticed the slight resemblance. I guess.

Fix at least the first issue, the second if you feel like it, and it's actually really good, anon. Good work.
I'd like some advice, please. I'd like to create a personal logo based off of just my initials, but I'm not happy with any of the idea's I've put to paper.
My initials are BB, but anything I've tried turns out pretty meme tier. Either two mirrored Bs, trying to merge them somehow, or pretty much anything hasn't really worked out.
Creative advice would be much appreciated!

There is a difference between asking for help and "gimmie logo!" the people on /gd/ don't like giving away ideas, but they will gladly suggest changes or opinions on something you created already.
>>265722
It looks aggressive, something you'd see in a sci-fi video game, almost skull-like. If that's what you're going for then good, but if it's for a baby clothes company then probably not the best.

The one of the right is best, but I don't see how it has anything to do with Levant.

thats not a logo and you're about 1/100th as "rad" as you think you are when you hand this around to clients on business cards
>>265935
I'm not handing out business cards I slap it on my videos you tard.
>>265937
silly me, you see your logo doesn't convey what it is you do, though I should have known you had poor networking from the aesthetic and name alone.
>>265938
Of course you don't understand it only RC hobbyists would. You done acting like an elitist cunt now? What is your logo btw let us see it.
>>264859
Why the fuck is that fugly gradient on the lime
>>264699
This is why I love this board. Mostly everyone is serious and bait slips through effortlessly. Absolute gold.
Hi, /gd/s. Not personal logo but the place where I work sometimes.
I like the one on the right better, but I fear it may be illegible without prior knowledge of what it's supposed to be (the letter "B").
tbqh though, that may have an appeal, as in a sorta "a-ha!" moment when looking at it.
>>265963
sharpen the edges
thin the line
connect the bottom bowl, it might fix the legibility issue
>>265963
>>265965
I've sharpened it up, thinned the line to the point of deletion, and I'm liking the look.
>connect the bottom bowl
What do you mean by this? What's a bowl?
Also, I noticed while doing this that, while the negative space creates a B, the actual shapes form the letters SPI. Might do something with that too.
>>264953
I'm not going to be brutal, I'm going to be entirely rational
You just did beats and Biomedic
It's literally babby's first logo attempt
>>265957
stroke/break between the offset "shadow" and the PUBLI Y LEO text is too thin, i'd make that a bit thicker. Might think about making the lining on the lion itself a bit thicker too. Also, was this made in paint? It kind of looks like it was on the crown with the uneven peaks and valleys. The bottom leg facing away should either be separated more or gotten rid of completely, it's too thin to be there. I'd flatten out the base myself, but I'd have to see how it looks before committing to the change.
Also-- The aliasing. Wtf. Smooth hat shit out, looks bad and unprofessional when it's choppy like that.
>>265963
>>265970
If your creative capacity for yourself- someone whos values you know better than anyone else, someone who you've known since conception. You won't have a more intimate relationship with another business or client than you do your own, and your best shot at self representation is a Lobster font "B" cut out of a blue circle? You have to do better than that.
>>265970
I was going to suggest connecting the lower Bowl to the stem if you were afraid it'd read like an R.
>>265991
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the advice.

I actually know nothing about Al-Mannar aside for it being arabic. And about my "logo" I know that it's eggy af and I actually got bored of it pretty fast. I did i when I was around 12-ish, explaining many things, I was trying to emulate a flower since the branch of my political ideology is very bio-centrist. Any recommendations on to what emulating so I can make a less cringy symbol? I am talking about articles, books and examples. Thanks in advance

Too many colors, I mean hues. Orange is out of place here.
>>266065
Orange? There are a lot of hues, but orange isn't in there...
Also, a note about the colors: I'm trying (and to a large degree failing, perhaps) to represent Pirkei Avot 4:1, which can be found at
http://www.sefaria.org/Pirkei_Avot.4?lang=he-en&layout=heLeft&sidebarLang=all
The purple represents Honor, placed in a lofty part of the picture
The red represents Mightiness, supporting all else.
The yellow represents Riches (as in satisfaction with life), bridging these two things.
Blue represents Wisdom, the center of the image.
The grey is just for some sort of backdrop.
It seems like a helluva lot to cram into a logo, but this is MY logo, and it should speak to me every time I see it, really defining me, ideally.
Also,
>inb4 gtfo kike
I'm thinking of scrapping this idea because I don't know how well it works for my initials (EH).
Also I can't shake how familiar it looks. Has anyone seen something like this before? I don't want to subconsciously steal something. I constantly worry about doing that.
>>266083
>It seems like a helluva lot to cram into a logo, but this is MY logo, and it should speak to me every time I see it, really defining me, ideally.
Wat
Logo should speak to others first. I wouldn't try to make a reference to something unless you're 100% certain people will get it.
Of course you do what you want, but if you want something more professional-looking, I wouldn't go with 4 colors in 1 logo. Think what you'll do if you need to print it in black and white. It can also clash with other colors if put on a picture which makes it very tricky to use.
> Orange? There are a lot of hues, but orange isn't in there...
Yep, my bad. The thumbnail has tons of JPEG artifacts which make it look orange. Also I had my screen set to lowest brightness and it had a bit of a yellowish tint this way.
>>266087
>Logo should speak to others first. I wouldn't try to make a reference to something unless you're 100% certain people will get it

All good points. This one is much more neutral, but I feel like it's now le ebin shades of gray meme logo :/
Maybe I can have two, one for independent use and one for overlays.

Aesthetically I think it looks pretty nice, but I wouldn't have seen the BA if you hadn't pointed it out. A little abstract, but that's totally okay.
The font on the bottom looks really tacky, though. I'd probably change that to something less gimmicky.

looks like a sideways pikmin. the g isnt apparant. start from scratch.
>>266170
the g is not apparent. it look more like a power button. the main thing about a g is the horizontal line on the right. the line in the logo is neither horizontal not on the right. on top of the fact that its resting in the o making it seem even less like a g. i can see it but wouldnt have been able to had he not pointed it out.
>>266173
that's a you problem then, because the G is apparent. you don't need to make it more obvious. what you need to do is start from scratch with a new concept.
>>266170
Circle container was just to give it some background, it's not really a part of the logo.
Anyways, thanks!
>>266131
Not bad, but I'd suggest brighter, sharper colors. These look a little washed out and dull.
>>266174
no problem, but a tip, don't "present" logos in circles like that or whatever, do up a nice background with a subtle pattern that matches your brand. i have a few repeating patterns that I use in presentations to keep everything looking uniform. as for this particular logo, i would have just made the logo itself the darker color for presentations sake.
It's not poorly done, it just seems poorly thought out. Hopefully you don't take that the wrong way.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind. Don't worry about it, I appreciate the help.

Thanks babe

The idea is more or less interesting. But the execution is horrendous
First: How many colors does it have? Did you count? It's over 6 at least. They all clash with each other and look like assorted sheets of colored paper. If you think they make sense, try and tell from memory which side had which color.
Second: The pink-orange cube is lit from one side. The cyan cube is dark from this side for some reason. I barely realized if it was inset or outset.
Third: now look at those corners. Would be good if they aligned at least in any way. But instead they're just some random angles.
Fourth: what do these cubes have to do with you? Do they really reflect what you do well? They generally do say 'maybe it's graphic design', but what says that it belongs to you, not some other guy?
Finally: try to imagine it in black and white.

> Maybe I can have two, one for independent use and one for overlays.
You can of course do that.
Still, speaking about your color scheme, it reminds me of coats of arms some families have which make sense only to them and their closest friends/relatives. Like a deer and a compass, wtf is it supposed to mean? It's like some kind of cryptic code. To an average person, colors don't mean anything special, and no one else understands would understand any hidden meanings.
Also, a word about the colors: you could at least have some gradients or other more interesting transitions. On a technical level, it looks like it could have been drawn in Corel Draw in 1997. It's ok but showing off your skills as a designer a little never hurts.

Played around a bit...Some look tacky to me ^^
In design, I appreciate simplicity to a fault, sometimes
>>266222
This isn't simplicity though, the overuse colors and gradients are the opposite of that. None of these are good. Start over with a new concept. It can still be the ב, but just take it and simply stylize it. Write it yourself 300 times on a sheet of paper, scan that in and use that as a bse if you need to, but none of these are doing it. The colors are bad, they proportions are bad, any of them that have a stroke on them are bad and far too thin, looks like an afterthought,the shape itself isn't working. the skewed 3d look you're trying to pull off is coming across in the worst way imaginable. Drop that.

>>266239
I'm really not trying to be mean here, but this is the worst one yet. Your sense of colors is horrible. Why the gradients? The perspective doesn't work. It looks like an early 90s 3D render which isn't a good thing. Drop it and start fresh.
>>266153
>How new are you in the field
you are on /gd/
>>266222
I guess I'm just not sure why you're married to this completely unappealing shape that doesn't appear to mean anything...
>>266245
It's not MY sense of color. I just tried to help the >>266083 guy. This was what I had in mind.
Another, stripped-down version. Hues adjusted slightly to make a color triad.
>>266168
all I can think of when I see yours
>>266272
No please

Original ב guy here.
I've been on this board for quite a bit, and you're by far the most helpful and honest person I've met here. Thank you.
Another anon suggested writing out the just the letter itself 300 times, on paper. I'm gonna take this guy's advice; this is my logo, so it should be as close to perfect as I can make it. I'll stick with the same symbolism, but maybe find a better, more true-to-me way to represent it.
Again, thanks for your help and advice.
>>264978
bump, someone help me with this already
>>266107
"I KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT"
>>266155
I definitely like the way the B is made but the Y should be adjusted some cuz it just feels like it's floating. The swirl leading into the letter works well to give a painterly look without being cheesy. Maybe try extending the Y to the edges of the letter. Just mess around with the interaction between the two letters a lot.
>>266194
I disagree with every single point made here. I think every part of that logo works together and would immediately not if even one of those pieces of advice were followed. You'd have a far less readable mess of polygons that you couldn't distinguish from each other as a pair of blocks. It would probably just look like a crooked plaid pattern.
It's easily one of the strongest logos in this thread as it is.
>>266181
I think it might just be the way the blending is done. I might have fuck around with different color spaces.
>>266194
Really, It's just 3 cubes, one cyan, one magenta and one yellow. It's a still from an animation, where the cubes come together and make a gray one and split away to give way to a bunch of color. It's not really a personal logo, but it's distinct looking and the closest thing I'd have to one. Here's another still. I don't think it looks as dull, but the grey may not be appealing.
>>266298
easily one of the strongest logos in the thread?
lmao wut? there must be some shitty logos in this thread...
>>266085
I think it would work better as a poster design than a logo.
So this is a work in process of my first personal logo. Making logos isn't really my forte so I would appreciate some feedback from you guys.
It's ALGO because my name is Alonso Gonzalez, plus "algo" means "something" or "some" in spanish so I can do stuff like "Algo de diseño" (some design) or "Algo de fotografia" (some photography).
I also used the fish (I hope it looks like a fish because some people say it doesn't) because I see myself as a fish outside of the water because I have a different style and stuff like that (hope that doesn't comes up as a too much of a special snowflake wannabe).
I'm going to add the colours and a little font that says "Alonso Gonzalez" bellow the logo later.
So anyway, whatcha guys think?
>>266464
If you're dead set on the fish, first one in the 2nd row is best.
Overall though, they look a bit too busy. Go back in and reanalyze the necessary elements of the logo to eliminate the unnecessary.
Define your type, then work around it.
>>266464
It's old school so to say, but I like it.
The "G" looks different from other letters though. You're using something like Avant Garde (see the pic), I'd suggest changing the G to look more this way.
>>264978
Dear god that's painful to look at.. If your insistent on that look try using larger circles so it doesn't look like tv static
rate harshly pls
"F.I."
I'm an illustrator, and I suppose I can use an actual logo for my portfolio site and cards.
Its barely in the sketch phase, but I appreciate some feedback.
>>266501
2007 youtube tier, the shouldn't be on top. the colors are feminine, the typography seems made by a 15 yrs old (not even a logo). the "3d" is very crappy an the name should be on one line.
>>266524
research calligraphy before attempting it

>>266534
The fact that you think it's calligraphy means I've failed.
Back to the drawing board.
I'm not very good at Illustrator, I just started learning it, so I mostly have no idea what i'm doing.

what do u think
>>266581
you don't even need illustrator but basic artistic/creative skills and curiosity for learning new things.
>>266583
i wouldn't hire anyone with that lazy ass logo
>>266586
this logo got me a huge award tho
>>266326
well yeah that too.
>>266587
Yeah, I'm sure you got Best Downloader from dafont.com. Pics or obviously it didn't happen.
