It looks really cool! However, I find reading the logotype a bit difficult.
Good job! :)
I guess you can try to separate a bit (not losing unity) both words.
B&W version looks neat! :)
lowered the thickness of the guitar border and change a little about his color and now the logotype seems more readable
really excellent design, it is about the readability of that type, I would probably remove the type as an overlay and place it underneath the guitar, it's the cross points of the guitar outline and the text where you get the confusion.
Really nice work though, like it a lot.
thanks Robert for your review. I think you're, in fact the B&W version the light grey guitar border don't interfere too much with the logotype. I don't think i will move the logotype under because i want the cable to connect with the guitar (as in real world...) but I will follow your advice and maybe try a lighter color of the guitar in the colored version to achieve the same result of the B&W thing...
Thanks
If you are designing a logo then 90% of the cases it should be like Width > height. May be yours is a mandatory requirement.
Try to lay the guitar on the ground with LOGO TEXT on top or bottom.
I prefer Image-1 as it catches the eye.
I like the socket string attached to the character S.
thanks for the advices... I will probably change the guitar as my friend doesn't like so much but i will surely hold the socket string and the logotype. I've added a noguitar version which solve the width vs height problem
Just a though you may have some trouble displaying this logo on certain medium due to the height, I love the concept but maybe look at rotating the guitar. and see if you can get something that is a bit more balanced horizontally.
thanks for your advice, I tried to rotate the guitar but i don't like it... as I said to Ananda I will probably eliminate the guitar and in next attempts will check the width vs height balancing
if you decide to use the color perhaps I`d suggest something else rather than green
I'm in love with B&W version... no colors at all if the client agrees
Your Design is good, when i see this whats comes in my mind is "Its all about Guitar", frankly it looks like a music album CD cover page. Now coming to the point, you were supposed to design a logo for music events, so viewers or audience should get at least 50% purpose from logo. Am not saying your logo is bad, this one is unique and genuine, but doesn't server the purpose. Try to relate the logo with what type of music company is playing or what audience should expect from these events.
Leave the lettering with the jack cable and loose the guitar.
Try giving mor deep of field to it. The jack in perspective, in the front of the fonts ... as it was closer to you than the fonts.
Keep up the good work.
The logotype works fairly well as presented, but I strongly suspect it will fail to scale well—particularly at smaller sizes. The design probably needs a custom treatment that "hints" the graphic element (the 1/4" amp wire + plug) so it still reads when the logo is very small. The very tight letter/line spacing will probably also need to be opened up to accommodate smaller sizes.
The logo is preatty cool but is too much sophisticated and with wrong dimension.
You need to work on composing the logo better with just the element you have. The guitar is too high you will find a lot of problem placing it in other design, on a t-shirt etc. And then in my mind you should try to have less color. Try to make this on black background and then try to invert it on white background. Use 2 color. Or at least try.
thanks for your advices... the guitar has now gone from my concept as the client don't like. I kept the s with a socket cable idea and I made the logo more dry. It will still need some tweeking but I like it more than the original concept
aside from the guitar been a bit too long, i really like where you are going with the socket string attached to the character S.... nice! *Idea ::: Would it be too much to try just the type version, but maybe add guitar strings on one of the "o"'... . Maybe not.. just a thought
Good work! :)
after a lot of people (and the client) concerning about the guitar too big i decided to take it away from my concept. The socket string attacked to the s will surely remain. I will try your advice of guitar string in the o but I want to dry my logo and keep it simple. Thanks a lot for your time
that sounds like a good plan.. keep it simple! and you did! love your new revise logo, did you try keeping the color you had before on the tip of the string?
I'm in love with my B&W logo, now I will Let the things depositate and tomorrow I start with some other experiment...
It looks unique, I like the guitar typography best. You should try it with different colour and see which one suit it best. I was thinking of black and grey for the guitar.
p/s : may i know what font is that?
thanks a lot for yor appreciation. I will surely test some other color scheme but i'm really in love with the B&W version.
The font is MUSEO (you can find it here http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/exljbris/museo/500/) customized by me to achieve this continuos look
The font and the guitar work perfectly with each other. I like the colors of the guitar and the background....the theme just works.
Me gusta la fuente usada y el concepto, muy buena idea!!!
I think this is a great concept; my only suggestion is to increase the stroke on the cord. If it had the same thickness as the rest of the lettering, it'd be really great!
Other than that it looks cool.
I love what you did with this...especially the type!
Hi! great idea with the flowing "s" as the cord! I think the first pic with the guitar is best. Just a slight play with the color? Maybe white background, flourecent glow guitar( outline only, leaving guitar the same color as the background.) Keeping the logo type in black all the way. It seems the transition from the "s" to the cord is a bit abrupt on this one maybe a flowing transition, as in the first logo? Yet, the cord laid out as is... is nice.
Great Logo!
the flou idea would be nice, especially for a web special logo. Thanks. The transition form S to cord is abrupt as you've said. I will fix it in the definitive logo (and also fix the thickness of the cord to be the same of the letter S).
Nice touch with the cord flowing off the "S".
I agree with some of the previous comments about the height issue with the guitar. Maybe try incorporating an amp that sits off to the right side of the text. The cord could then flow below the text and plug into the amp. This would solve the height issue while still maintaining a music feel.
the amp idea is a nice one... thanks, i will report to the client to know if he likes it. Thanks
I like the general design but it's not distinguished enough, which is why I think you should either have a bolder font or outline it(on the colour version)
the idea is very well exceuted but I feel the type is little hard to read or is it for me? Great job though!
Overall I think the design is cool, but dont like it with the guitar. I think its just way to big to fit with the logo.
i removed the guitar version from the site because everyone is arguing about that and it's not part of the logo anymore. Thanks a lot for your review
The guitar is too big. But I like the rest. Maybe you can make one of the words BOLD.
i like the look and feel of this logo alot. I just think the guitar is too large in proportion to the text.
the guitar has now gone from the concept. The actual concept is the first image (I left the other in order to make understand the process). Thanks a lot for the review
I feel like letters and guitar doesn't match each other..
colors are good, concept is ok, just the tall guitar and wide area of the type need to be worked on
Hey I like this great work, only one thing I would look at making it on the same line as hacienda... luv the plug off the s
great work!
Thanks Szymon for your appreciation. You've get to the point: I have to improve the readability of the logotype.
I've also added the B&W version
