New logo for MAT Design Studio

This is very simple and clean and a great start.

I'd actually really like to see this made out of folded paper and then photographed. May throw up some interesting ideas when bringing it back to do a two colour version.

The Design Studio part feels a little too far away from the MAT part and again as some others have said I'd also be interested to start playing with joining the words together to form new shapes out of the letters.

This is a great design I think!

I think you need to decide wether it's perspective or folded paper lying flat. If It's perspective, like Tom said, something is wrong with the T. If it's flat paper folds I think you don't need the colour difference and only work with shadows.

And to make it stand out, even though it's simplicity i think it need a strong colour. Red or Blue or one of the CMYK colours or something.

Good luck!

Very nice design. I really like it, but one thing is looking odd to me. Because M & A looks like paper folded the darkest gray in T should be replaced with light gray. OR if letters are in 3D perspective M & A looks to me as they are viewed from right side, while T is looked from left.

The bottom line sounds harsh but its the best word I could think of at the moment. The underside of the T stands out to me because it seems darker than the rest of the shading on the letters.

The perspective works and kind of doesn't seem to work for me. Both the letters M and A look like one strip of paper however the design of the T doesn't look theoretically possible with a single strip. I attached a link to a picture to better show what i think of a T shape given the set up of the first two letter.

I personally really like the simplicity of your logo. The greyscale really works with the simplicity of the design. It looks like a four color logo (inc white) and anymore colors beyond that would break the simplicity.

You said you were going for a simplified design and I think you achieved that well, but I also think that you managed to make a very eye-catching a modern design in the process.

My favourite would have to be the greyscale version.

I like it, however, I agree with another reviewer that you need to lighten the gray for more impact and 3 dimensional affect.

Adding to what the others have said about the T (Zlatibor gave a very good advice), I'm move the "design studio" to the left, and make it a little bigger (under MA). The space under the right side of the T and "IO" looks wierd.

And I'd try brighter colours, to make it more visible.

It is simple but it's not catch the eyes. One of my reason is colour. You have 3 colours in this logo (as I saw). So one of the problem is when you put thin one into some printing media like newspaper or else. How it will look like. Will it still the same like this?

Why not try make new shape of the word "Mat". Simple colours and those colours should not be so close to each others. Make some contrast or something else.

But I do like your idea to make it simple.

Keep on going :)

i like it a lot.

It´s simple but diferent, love the effect you produced with scales od grey. However In my opinion it "dies" a bit. try to use a lighter grey to induce more impact.
