    Beautfiul concept

    Posted on Jan 19, 2010 at 7:27 AM

    The 1st concept is beautiful. Don't mess with it anymore. I love the font you chose and very subtle 3 effect you have added. I would call it done as is, no more messing with it :).

    Try to unify it more

    Posted on Jan 19, 2010 at 2:44 PM

    I really like the first one but looking closer, each pair of letters is blended differently, try to use just one style and see what it looks like.

    I like the first one the best

    Posted on Jan 18, 2010 at 7:30 PM

    I really like the first one.. I've attached a minor modification of it which pretty much what I think it needs to be complete.

    Good Job!!

    "d and g" - kern them together like the "g and e"

    Posted on Jan 20, 2010 at 8:24 AM

    I like the first design as is, and the last one in perspective. But perspective designs often require alot of extra effort to use and implement in layouts.

    I would consider kerning the d and g together as you have the g and e.

    first is best !

    Posted on Jan 20, 2010 at 8:15 AM

    simple, clean and bold.

    • I feel pulling the e little from g may make it even better.

    • The last logo also seams to be good with respect to the border as it conveys the meaning 'EDGE', but the tilted text "EDGE" makes it very weak...

    fonts size

    Posted on Jan 21, 2010 at 7:36 AM

    I like most the first and the fourth one. What I don't like is "g" touching "e". That merge makes it very soft. I would prefer just a bit more tension in a word like 'edge'. Maybe pulling them apart or emphasize "g" could engage the concept better...

    1 is the best

    Posted on Jan 21, 2010 at 10:36 PM

    I like the long bar on d, but i'll change de g and de e (which looks like euro cash). I don't like 3 4 and 7 . It don't think It is useful do strch the font. 5 should be good for photograph and 6 for web designer or programmer... So I think that 1 is the best.

    The "g" lends itself to being read as an "o"

    Posted on Jan 21, 2010 at 9:08 AM

    I love the concept, but think that you may need a space between the "g" and "e" as you have between the "e" and "d" for ease of readability. As it is now, if I look at it for more than a moment I see "edo"

    Connect d and g more

    Posted on Jan 21, 2010 at 2:16 PM

    Hands down...I like design four. It Insinuates an edge.

    Keep it simple right? All others add distraction to something that once was clean.

    1 corner

    Posted on Jan 21, 2010 at 9:32 PM

    For some reason its hard on the eyes not to see a hard edge. I think the last 3 are interesting but almost too obvious, I'd like to see what number 7 looks like with just 1 corner.

    Hmmm

    Posted on Jan 22, 2010 at 9:17 AM

    I like them. I don't agree that the concept needs to disappear into a whole. Although it is a great concept. I like design 5. I think it is an interesting concept to contrast EDGE with rounded edges rather than make it all edges like some 80s rock band. Nice work.

    Give it an edge?

    Posted on Jan 22, 2010 at 11:28 AM

    I know embossing and bevelling has been done to death recently, however with your business name it kinda makes sense. Did you try giving it a bevelled edge at all?

    And yes, definitely the first one! Nice work.

    try to focus on an edge.

    Posted on Jan 23, 2010 at 3:00 AM

    You have a great logo as it is but maybe you can add a square edge to the first e to create a visual square in the logo that draws the attention.

    Height of the d.

    Posted on Jan 23, 2010 at 4:53 AM

    I quite like this font but I think the letter spacing is a bit strange, perhaps off a bit on the G and E. I would try and make sure all the spacing between the letters is the same as the E and D.

    With such a nice round font you need to make sure it stands alone, once you start putting edges around it the image starts to ruin.

    So my pick of the bunch is the first one.

    I watched a program on UK t.v the other day where Coca Chanel said "always take of the last thing you put on". I know she is referring to fashion but I think the same is true for graphic design.

    the first one

    Posted on Jan 23, 2010 at 8:02 AM

    Although some of the other options have a cool look to them, I think the simplest design is the best one. The round typeface on the work EDGE is a great contrast and it makes an impact. I don't think there is anything that could make this better.

    Nothing

    Posted on Jan 19, 2010 at 8:06 PM

    I would go with the first one. You don't need any other effects to make it work - - works on its own.

    Nice job!

    Posted on Jan 20, 2010 at 8:08 AM

    Love the fourth one - like the depth created with the tilt; also like the last one but maybe without the brackets

    Utilize the word edge more

    Posted on Jan 21, 2010 at 8:25 AM

    Utilize the word edge more, I would say the word edge could possibly use edges somewhere on the logo. Otherwise really stands out and does its purpose. Keep it simple

    The 5th one

    Posted on Jan 20, 2010 at 8:26 AM

    and if not .. so the second one is good

    Fourth one.... please

    Posted on Jan 20, 2010 at 2:52 PM

    I like the fourth one the best by far. I agree with Mubarak that the "g" and the "e" should be separated, ideally with the background curve following the "e" and biting into the "g". You might want to try pushing the "g" into the "d" too, so that you have 3 similar "bites". I like the overall concept a lot - its very clean and distinctive - keep it up!!

    I think the second concept is best. the long ascender on the letter 'd' in the first concept is a bit too distracting for me.

    kerning

    Posted on Jan 21, 2010 at 12:36 AM

    I love the first one a lot and I like how the g and the e touch I would tighten up the rest of the letters like that because right now it is creating tension where it almost touches.

    I like much the second one, in the first the "d" go to high. I think the "d" must go up as much the "g" go down. Try to adjust kerning between "g" and "e" like the one between "d" and "g".
