    Very nice

    Posted on Dec 17, 2009 at 7:29 AM

    This is very different from any garden logo I have seen, which is good! I like the design of the logo for the most part. The twig for the g could use a little tweaking, but still a great concept.

    Make the G more "G-ish"

    Posted on Dec 17, 2009 at 8:18 AM

    I read the the G as an O especially at a smaller size... some adjustment on that and I think this is a great identity... clever and fresh

    Great logo

    Posted on Dec 17, 2009 at 11:00 AM

    I love the logo, I think its really unique. Definitly make the ascender of the g more pronounced like others have mentioned and I think this is a good piece.

    love the colors too : )

      Oh ps- maybe tilt the leaf a little more so it looks more like an accent mark.

    G descender

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 12:30 AM

    Yep you pretty much hit this one on the head apart from the "g" descender.

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 10:12 AM

    It's simple and effective. Just the right amount of detail to make it interesting but not overcomplicate it.

    good logo

    gradation & inner shadow may make it more effective!

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 1:13 AM

    g8 concept, but not readable :( try something like the attached style. Spread the roots bit more down to make it look like g.

    Posted on Dec 17, 2009 at 2:57 AM

    I think you've pretty much nailed it.

    though, maybe you can try a variation with the attached style for where the 'og' meet and the 'od' meet as well as the beginning of the descender for the 'g'

    Doesn't read as ogrod

    Posted on Dec 21, 2009 at 3:40 PM

    It reads as oorod. The root on the g needs to be more pronounced. I like the colors. There is something slightly uncomfortable about where the r cuts into the o, and the kerning is curious. Keep working. I like the direction.

    Make the g more g-ish.

    Posted on Dec 21, 2009 at 9:37 PM

    I really like this, only had I not known the company's name was OGRÓD I would have not known that that G was a G. I would have thought it was oorod. The root is very nice it just doesn't fill the shape of a "g" enough. And I agree with farshad ali, maybe make a variation between where the "og" meet and the "od" meet. Otherwise I like the color, the leef, the overall feel of it. Definitely makes me think gardening business, or at least earthy, nature-based company. Oh and don't forget, when things are put in black and white and sized down for business cards, headers, etc, small things like the smaller root strands are lost or almost unrecognizable. So maybe a way of making the 'g' more pronounced while keeping that root shape would be to make it larger and make those strands thicker.

    Nice job.

    Add more colour

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 4:42 AM

    Although the logo look's pretty good I can't help feel it could be so much more.

    I came across this page yesterday and I think it could help you improve this logo.

    good font selection, but

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 10:46 AM

    ur font selection is good. but then i noticed some things that make this less comfortable to read.

    1. the upper and lower elements are placed too closed to each other .
    2. color of the both the elements do not complement with each other (if at all... that greeny leaf is bit ok.
    3. get more creative with the shape of the roots though, it look bit scary.

    but overall ur starting point to the project seems to be in right direction. thanx

    it's hard to understand that you're going for "ogrod" and not "oorod"

    g needs help

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 2:17 PM

    i like the simplicity of the design. you don't see "design" efforts, just the logo, which is good.

    I cannot tell the g is a g though. I thought it was an o. But love the r/accent. Maybe keep the typeface descender and just embellish it with roots

    I think the type color could be healthier looking. I like the gray tone of the brown, but not sure it sells a garden shop.

    Great start!

    scary G

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 3:43 PM

    That turnip it's something of unaesthetic. But all logo it's well balanced. Would work having brown instead of gray?

    The G

    Posted on Dec 22, 2009 at 4:36 PM

    For a low budget project, this is great. The only thing I would rework is making the G look better. I keep reading it as "oorod". Besides that, you've done an awesome job for your friend.

    • Ovidiu Puscas
      Ovidiu Puscas commented:
      Posted: on Dec 22, 2009 at 5:30 PM

      Also as above; keep reading it as oorod.

      I really think you've got to strengthen the branch forming the downward 'g'. Needs more weight to it.

      Otherwise, superb! Can't wait to see more work from you!

    Almost There...

    Posted on Jan 11, 2010 at 12:43 PM

    I think this is a great concept but it's just missing the mark by "that much".

    Overall, the choice of typography is great and the visual engagement is right where a logo should be - eye catching but not overpowering.

    Two suggestions: 1. Tilt the leaf a little bit more clockwise to more resemble an accent. 2. At first I thought this could use a slight ascender on the "g" to give it some definition, but after looking at it more, I think you need to tweak the descender and curve it a little bit more to resemble a "g". Pronouncing the descender on the "g" a little more will also serve to balance the height of the "d" and the leaf better and create more of a visual harmony.

    Otherwise, great work. Keep it up.

    Lots of potential. Good concept.

    Posted on Dec 20, 2009 at 3:24 AM

    Like most of the comments here, I think the descender of the g should look more clearly like a descender. I like the typeface, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate for a gardening company. It feels much too clean. I also think it can be livelier. The feeling I get when I look at it is the feeling I get when I see a tree in winter - pretty bleak. I think a gardening company would like this logo to have more life and evoke something more like summer or spring.

    Extend the g descender or ...

    Posted on Dec 20, 2009 at 12:46 PM

    and I'm expressing my lack of type vocabulary here but the "g" would read more as a "g" if in addition to extending the descender, you also added a vertical square at the top right of the o. I don't know if a) that makes sense and/or b) that will bump up against the vertical square in the "r" but maybe that would be something to try? At any rate, I think this is a very clean, modern looking logo.
