    A little hard to read, but not bad.

    Posted on Jul 08, 2010 at 7:28 AM

    I like this piece for expressing a person's individuality. It's very attractive and the colors are great.

    The only thing that should be modified is to outline or contrast the text from the background more. It's a bit difficult to make out the letters, especially with the script font.

    I would move the petals at the bottom up a little to make the "logo" more space efficient.

      Thanks very much for your feedback!

      I can agree with you on moving the petals up, although I feel the further up they go the more depth is added and it feels like they are back and away from the type - this way they appear more 'under' it.

    'S' needs a little help

    Posted on Jul 08, 2010 at 10:33 AM

    I don't think this is too hard to read. The only spot you might enhance is the 's' - I would bring the top of the s further to the y and curve it a bit more. It's the only letter that stands out.

    The petals at the bottom of the page need to be exaggerated more - add more of them; make them a bit bigger; give them a small shadow; maybe give Daisy a shadow as if suspended in space and where the petals are is where the ground is, though that last might take it in the wrong direction.

    What you might consider doing is giving Daisy a darker yellow glow... or if you've done that already, bring it out just a bit more.

    Hope that helps a bit!

    darker or outline

    Really really like this. Not much to change. Only thing I would suggest is putting a border or something to get it to standout better on the yellow background.

    Color and Consistency

    Posted on Apr 25, 2011 at 10:50 AM

    Hi! First of all I think your design is great and full of life. It really shows character and emotion.

    But the only thing I would change is the color of the background; there is not enough contrast to between the background and the typography itself. I suggest a darker green or blue, maybe with a slight gradient (if darker blue, gradient should be to a slightly lighter blue, etc.)

    Another thing I notice would be the consistency of the letter "D". I just don't find it suitable for a consistent upper case "D" when compared to the other letters. I suggest, the stroke of the top stroke going down at a 45 degree angle should be higher; giving more space inside the letter "D" with a slightly circular top.

    Finally, what is the small white lines below the word "Daisy"? Is it petals from the flowers? If so, I just don't find it clear enough for something that should be more visible.

    But overall, I say GREAT JOB!

    Contrast a little more

    Posted on Sep 30, 2011 at 3:55 PM

    It looks beautiful, extremely elegant and relaxed. I love the flowers, but they look a lot like replicated and re-sized images but that can't be helped. The style of the writing is immensely superior to normal text, I would contrast the white with the background, make the background a little darker or a different colour completely, maybe a pink or light sky blue. You could also add a little gradient to the background colour.

    It could work better if the writing was bigger and the little spaces between the joined up writing such as the i and s, and s and y, they should be made like the a to i is.

    There isn't much to improve, but one can give their congratulations.

    S

    Posted on Jul 08, 2010 at 2:46 PM

    I agree on the S, I wont go much farther into it than i already have, since it has already been stated.

    I would remove the bottom pedals as well, I didnt even notice them and it would make the logo more space efficient.

    I like the colors, but it IS hard to read.. :|

    Good job though It does look very nice!

      Think of it as an art piece rather than a logo. This is an a2 print, ill post up some closeups and a higher res!

      Thanks for your commentsan!

    Play with the biggest daisy flower

    Posted on Jul 08, 2010 at 4:09 PM

    I think this is a very pretty design. If you had told me it was a logo I'd say it's too hard to read, but it's for a person, and I love that it's made completely out of daisies -didn't notice that when it was smaller. Perhaps you could make a bolder, simpler version of it for when it is viewed small, using less flowers. Other than that i like it a lot.

    Leaning...

    Posted on Jul 09, 2010 at 2:54 AM

    I like this. Not much to say, perhaps as stated the s needs some work, feels like it makes it all lean to the right too much.

    make all the letters joined up

    Posted on Jul 09, 2010 at 6:08 PM

    Hey Ben. This looks great. Cool idea for your gf.

    The a and the i join up but the i and the s and the y do not.

    Maybe make all the letters joined up to each other like the a and the i do to make the flow better.

    Plus make background darker for contrast and take off petals at bottom. I didn't notice them either.

    The bigger daisies look much bigger than all the others. I think the big daisy as the dot on the i needs a bit more work too.

      Thanks for your feedback!

      I agree the larger daisy could use some work, it seems to pop out a lot more and ends up standing out as a focal point

      I kind alike how the text is structured and feel like the D would be all lonely if I joined everything up!

    I don't get the S

    Posted on Jul 14, 2010 at 1:14 PM

    Fantastic logo, but I don't understand the S. Could be hard to read for different backgrounds. Could you add some more pictures of the logo on different backgrounds ?

      Hi there, thanks for your positive review! Yeah I can see what you mean about the 's' but to clarify this is not a log this is an A2 print piece

      Thanks again!

    Color Option

    Posted on Jul 15, 2010 at 2:18 AM

    Very Impressive..! No negative feedback. May try some more color option, even dual colors to expose the logo more visible.

    All the best..!
