      yay! thanks! you know i tried to do this in illustrator but i got so confused in everything and turned out a mess..lol so i finished this in photoshop...

      and for the separator, i placed that there because garments and the left side of the icon is white..so i thought of placing a black line as a separator for it to be more noticed..^_^

    the icon

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 3:12 AM

    I would move the icon part of the design above the text and get rid of the line, other than that, excellent concept, very nice idea.

    I am a big fan of simplicity - and I think this was very well executed. I would love to see it in just black and white, or on a softer grey background) vs. the overly powerful brown one. Nice work!

    Middle concept

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 8:05 AM

    The middle concept is good but I think you need to mess around with colors. The colors are really throwing me off and making this logo more busy than it need be. Try and simplify this down to one color and you might have something.

    Keep working on the symbol

    Posted on Dec 18, 2009 at 5:53 PM

    I like the idea of working the J and G into the symbol but it needs more work - you loose the shape of the garment by having the letters form the garment it self.

    Try using lines within the shape of the shirt to form the letters.

    The typeface should also have more of a connection with the symbol or vice versa.

    Overall I think you have a good start - keep going!

    Font

    Posted on Dec 19, 2009 at 1:42 PM

    Hmm On the first one why is there a black line? I think it could be removed (3rd one looks best). The second one is good but it is placed to high above.

    I think you should try a variation of the fonts you used.

    I don't know if you used different weighted fonts but the "jeca" definitely does seem slightly weaker than the "garments." Since garments already pops first, I might try a slightly heavier weight on jeca–if that is even possible. Also, in garments, the "g" and "a" seem a little crashed together whereas the "e" and "n" are nearly luxuriating with space.

    As an exercise, you might try both blowing up the logo and shrinking it down–that tends to help when trying to determine legibility (even if the logo doesn't end up being used at a super large or super small size).

    I am mostly nitpicking though. I think the JG shirt is great and I agree with the other reviewers that it's definitely better without the divider.

    Colors

    Posted on Dec 28, 2009 at 2:19 PM

    I think the icon is very original. I think the colors could use a little boost though.

    Great logo : )

    A touch too busy

    Posted on Dec 30, 2009 at 11:03 AM

    I would try to adjust the JG suit graphic. I think that it looks s bit too busy and intense. I think it should look a bit softer in attitude.

    Work on the Shirt/Suit Imagery

    Posted on Dec 30, 2009 at 2:46 PM

    I agree with previous comments. Better without the vertical black line. I like the look more on all-on-one line, thought not as square for repurposing.

    I can also feel the white "garments" popping a bit more, perhaps a lighter background color would help? Or the black jeca slight weight increase.

    As for the shirt/suit icon: Looks great. Some notices: I'm seeing animals for some reason. I saw a cat first, then an elephant in the negative space of the J, and a cartoony elephant in the negative space of the G, then I saw the shirt/suit. I agree that maybe a bit too busy with this great mark? Perhaps loose the cuffs line? Maybe put the letters on the shirt/suit? And is it a shirt or a suit? Maybe what is needed is a kick ass elephant!? ;)

    Maybe also try playing with placement. Maybe the jeca and garments could be placed in a way to create a space for the icon to sit which would connect all three elements more?

    Nicely done. Love the font. Yeah, g&a is a tad bit squished.

    use actual fabric~!

    Posted on Dec 30, 2009 at 6:03 PM

    oh wow, this could be very cool if you got an actual bow-tie.. and arranged two folded shirts to spell JG. seems that is the next step for your design.. first is drawing it on paper, then digitizing, then creating in reality.. lay down a bow-tie.. grab a black shirt and a white shirt, arrange them to spell your letters, it would be design award worthy.. i dont know why everyone thinks that they're done in this digital state when it could come to life with a little more time and imagination. i hope you try this..! please please please do. I'm attaching a photo of a laptop box packaging design that your design reminds me of. It looks like your 2nd format, with the shirt above the line of type, all centered, which i like most of your three arrangements. good luck, i really do hope you take my advice on this, your design deserves it!

    tell me more in logo

    Posted on Dec 30, 2009 at 6:57 PM

    Nice start. To be honest, this feels a bit like a first idea. Clever use of letters but I get "clothing" from "garments". A logo has the chance to add vibe and differentiate the garments, the brand, the philosophy. Are they tuxes? Are they classy? Are they funky? What makes JG different? eg Imagine a wine glass with an empty bow tie laying next to it. Tell me who JG is.
