self future logo design and name attempts

out of all of them, i'd choose the first one - as it seems to reflect your design style and personality. . . I do like the treatment you used for your monogram/logomark. ..

id be interested in seeing a san serif typeface for your actual business name - help balance out those serif-y looking lines in the monogram/mark. . . the contrast may also be nice. . .

my only concerns too are the colors - im not sure how well they will print - and how accessible and easy to use those colors are. they are very bright, vibrant, and high energy. . .

the rest of your designs, besides that first yellow/pink one, aren't my favorite. they just dont hold my attention or feel strong enough for a mark . . keep digging!

i would only choose the first which have a good layout.

but i think you you have to choose between the yellow color and the crazy type you've made.

For exemple keep the type but put a black background.

or chosse a classy type and keep the yellow background.

I think it will improve the impact of your logo.

Seriously need MUCH MUCH MORE work.

Problems: 1) All the logos give me the appearance of an unstable designer. 2) No balance in the logos. 3) Doesn't make me wanna look, doesn't 'pull' me in the design. 4) The 3rd one is just about 'ok', but correct the overall balance. 5) Simply throw the rest, the 4th and 5th actually appear as if you yourself hate your logo so much that you have torn it !

rest is not upto the standard i liked the 4th and 5th..but i am confident that u can do wonders more with those two..

bOL!!

The first one seems to be the best concept among all. However, yellow is killing my eyes. too vibrant! a darker shade of it would be better (at least in my opinion).

I like the second to last logo, but then again, I've always liked combining Black, White, and Blue...

Exhibit A. My whole site has only those colors!

I say lose the second and the third, and keep the others.

Good work!

The design seems kind of messy to me. Things seems to be all over the place, and as someone else mentioned, "unstable."

If I had to pick one I'd pick the 3rd one. It seems the cleanest out of all of them. I like how the "AMF" is a superscript to the rest of it. Just make the giant "c" thing before the d not as high.

I'm sorry Amy, I think your designs are too busy, and it needs a stronger idea behind it.

I know you can do much better, from what i've seen before from you.

My wife's name is Amy, so my opinion may be biased...but I kinda like the first one.

It's got a somehow serious feel though, but maybe that's not bad. I would try more variations on that one.

I like number one. yellow is ok, but it is really really bright with the yellow, white and pink. I would maybe do a black background.

What i like about number 1 is that it looks wild, like your tag line says. (almost reminds me of the animal planet logo, and how it kind of looks like a wild animal with stripes). I think the A is lost. I would try a cross bar on the first "mountain" of the M. Maybe do it in pink? not sure, just some thoughts.

Also, i would do a sans serif, maybe all caps for the part that says "amfdesignstudio" so it doesn't compete with the busy form you have above it.

I'm really not sure about number 2. I would lose that one. number 3 looks like it has to do with technology and/or radio waves.

4 and 5 show promise. i personally think mostly of a stock market graph when i see the top. It seems like it could be refined a bit. I also don't like the mountain range cutting into the big letter M on the purple one. with those two, i would play around with the size of the mark vs. the size of the text.

Good work! I know personal identites are the hardest!

I like the California- feel of the first two. Very original and creative! If you feel that they convey your personality then go for it. The one with the orange ring remonds me of an energy company.

but I can't make out the letter A...

but it's cool.

something about it that looks jungle/giraffe/africa...

No.1 design is ok. but i feel all the logos is still not to a designer expectation. you still play the logos with fonts

the color in number one. It's kind of quirky. Also no. 4 could be strong as well without the tag line. Just work on the placement/randomness of the jagged edges so that it doesn't look uncomfortable touching the corner of the"M".

why not keep it simple and fun and make the WILD M meet the MODERN M like a date. So maybe 2 M's sitting at a table meeting and the one M is really wild and daring wearing wacky colors and has flair while the other M is really modern and has a hat or is wearing something stylish.

that conveys the concept fast and people would get it and it would be fun and convey the fun personality you seem to be going for

sorry, it looks to emature. the colors at the first are strong and "shouty" more than the nececary. the slogen is realy good but you didn't passed the idea it just looks shouty.

the second one theres to much black and the pixels are to big it looks unproffesional. third is nice. agein looks very unprofessional. same as forth and fifth. the shape looks WIERD. try tov make it look better by adding soft effects to make it look like broken part.

i give 3\5. good luck =]

The first logo is your strongest and I definitely think you can take that concept and make it better.

2) through 5) are pretty bad and suffer from lots of issues.

I would stick with one and refine it and play with it

I would start with a bolder font, creating a more web 2.0 look and feel

The design of the letters bother me a little. I do like the first one, but would tweak and work on the letters and how they relate to each other. The exteded arm in middle of M and the bottom F arm are fighting each other it seems. You are close.

I think you should keep the first one moving. Definitely play with different colors. I do like yellow but maybe a lighter shade? darker?

I really like the design you've created with the letters but the little pink triangle or the A needs to be moved around. At first look, I didn't even know it was an A. I would also space out amf design studio.

The 1th one is much more interesting and original than the others, but still need a lot of refinement. You need to work in the details of the symbol, giving more simmetry between letters and less brocken curves. For exemple, it feels like you randomly clicked in the page to create the "M". Other tip, is to decrease the size of the symbol. The color scheme remember me the 2012 London logo.

Good luck!

hi, you shouldn't add so much text! a logo is visual..your logo has a big name, letters as symbols and also a slogan. looks like a business card, not a logo. Try smaller text at logo like just "amf" plus an unique symbol. then in some jobs you add a signature, or slogan.

4 n 5 are the best, I like the negative space used great job, the font is pretty cool too...

What might look really cool is "amf" in the black lower case, same font maybe 100% cyan, and the text under the black box, same 100% cyan, in a sans serif font like helvetica neue light...

Keep going and experimenting with 4 n 5 and you will get it perfect...

I like the first one the best. But why the pink lines at the top and bottom? I dont think you need the background either. I think you could work this one into something.

I'm looking at the first one and I definitely see the M and the F, but is there an A in there somewhere too?

reading the company name without any spaces looks a little jumbled up, and resembles someone typing random letters all at once. Interesting direction though!

I would play around with the position of "AMF" but I think the design has good momentum. I like the colors and the font that you have used. I am not a big fan of the other logos. I would definitely say to move forward with the third concept.

The first design looks good to me. The logo is appealing to my eye, and the colour combo is vibrant. However, as previously mentioned, the yellow may be a bit painful to look at for some people.

The 4th and 5th designs look good also.

The 3rd design looks... I don't know how to explain it. To me, the design is more suited to some sort of computer/server maintenance company. It's clean, but it doesn't fit a design studio in my opinion.
