    baseline of mountain

    Posted on Apr 20, 2010 at 5:54 AM

    Hmm, looks like the mountain is not standing straight, but sliding down. Shouldn't a mountain give the impression of solidness? How about making the bottom line horizontal?
    The type in the text chiesadienna would benefit from a little bit more spacing, the letters "di" kind of drown in the middle, becuase the "e" in enna overshadows the i in "di". Finetuning of the kerning may help. Other than that, I really like it!

    I like the logo although I have the impression it's more something for a pelgrim hotspot than a church.

    I'm a fan of the font but the "di" is a bit wrong. Either add some space before or after the di of make it the same fontzise but in another color.

    The logo itself is excellent and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

    make it less wide

    Posted on Apr 21, 2010 at 2:53 AM

    I've made a small comment above about the "di" (which seems a bit squished there and tends to become invisible).

    Also, the whole logo seems too wide (the left part of the mountain mostly. Shorten the slope there, and/or even move the "church" inside the mountain shape (see the attached mock-up)

      I think you're right. I'll try something like that. The idea of black "di" is good. I was on that this morning. Thank you.

    Drop the bottom line of the mountain.

    This LOGO is GREAT! All I would do it drop the bottom line of the mountain. The focus of the mountain is the cross, and to me right now the bottom just looks out of place so that is where my attention is.

    Overall, GREAT Job!!!

    disposition

    Posted on Apr 26, 2010 at 5:36 AM

    i would put the types inside the logo.

    The types and the symbol seem two individual items. I believe it needs some conection point so that when looking at it we get the feeling they belong together.

    something like this

    The text

    Posted on Apr 20, 2010 at 9:41 AM

    I love the mountain and the cross on top - although I would try to spruce the cross up a bit if at all possible - but I am not sold on your typography.

    It's a nice font, but it feels a bit plain and unoriginal to me as it is just standing there. Would there be any way for you to incorporate the mountains in your typography as well? Perhaps by formatting your text on or around the mountain?

    Good first step

    Posted on Apr 20, 2010 at 8:11 PM

    This is a first good step but I think it could be taken a long way.

    1. Try putting the mountain over the type
    2. Is the small "di" a spanish thing or are you trying to be creative...if it is the latter I would just use a regulare di
    3. Make the tagline smaller, align it to the right and make it a light gray.

    To be different or not...

    Posted on Apr 20, 2010 at 3:58 AM

    I like that your mountains aren't a typical mountain in logos. That's nice.
    But the rest of the logo feels unoriginal to me.

    What is the church about? Let the spirit flow in your design.

    Perhaps an even more styalized cross???

    I'm all about pushing the envelope and engaging.

    the geometric form of the logo

    Posted on Apr 20, 2010 at 4:39 AM

    i would consider having your logo based on a more solid geometric form.. the oblique line in the bottom of logo makes it feel not standing still .. i would love to see it fully open or with a straight horizontal base .. as for everything else its a quite good representation
