    Incorporate symbol into the logotype

    Posted on Sep 29, 2010 at 4:32 AM

    Hi there

    To my eye, there is a danger the name will be read as: Icon Moon O.

    To me, an obvious theme would be to use the three Os within the name as a moon in transition ie. quarter, half, three quarter moons, done in a similar style as that within the symbol.

    Find a font that suits the circular forms and design around that.

    I don't think the drop shadow or the ghosted out icons add anything to the design concept.

    Hope this helps.

    Moon Symbol

    As someone above pointed out, the moon symbol comes off a bit as a "O", which is confusing at first glance.

    I actually like the logo and colouring. It's very clean. What about positioning the moon symbol before the words so that it looks a bit more separate? Or, incorporate it into the "o"s within the words.

    Nothing

    I really see no issues in this design...Typo is good moon in the circle is also looking good...I really love the color scheming...The overall feel of the whole thing is very soothing...But if i have to point out a problem in this design that would be the spacing between the alphabets...whn i look at it i see a little spacing issue between "i" and "c", "o" and "n","m" and "o" and "o" and "n"....and you should increase the space between "icon moon" and your logo "O" to reduce reader's error.

    Otherwise gr8 job....love the feel of the whole thing...

    Change the shadow to a shine

    I think previous reviewers covered everything of importance.

    I'll add an idea, though, that a light coloured glow instead of the dark shadow could contribute to the moon styling, and give the impression of moonlight on the logo.

    Move the moon.

    In general, I like it.

    I don't understand the icons across the bottom. They are not part of the logo--or should not be.

    As I see it, the logo is the little moon icon. The name is a logotype. Together they comprise an identity, but the moon logo should be able to stand on its own, which I think it does.

    I would try out the moon in a couple of different placements. Maybe above and to the left of the M.

    Draft

    I really like this logo, I think that you are ready for production state.

    I'd rather not just put a 'one-liner" but I think you did very well and I would change nothing.

    It looks good

    I would change the background color to something more light that gives a better contrast. Right now, I dont see lots of contrast. Tanks.
