Hi Michaela
I love the color combination of this logo.
I would only somehow try and line up that L and i. One way that I see how to do this is to make the word "online" smaller. or pushing the word voices to the right, or making the word voices bigger. It is not a necessity yet, it was an immediate eye pull.
Have you tried a variation of interchanging the green dot with the black dot and visa versa?
Have you fooled with making the bar, the same color as the gray used in the last line?
I think what you have is great, I only suggest a few different versions as to choose the best eye grabber.
There is nothing "wrong" with this logo necessarily. However, I think you could really do more with this. There is a lot creative imagery that goes along this concept. I would encourage you to think of some more creative, "outside the box" ideas that hit home the point of the organization better.
If you are going to stay with something like you have there are a few things that I believe need to be addressed. The alignment of "online" and "voices" is a bit off to me. My eye wants the "l" in online to meet with the "i" in voices. I would make voices slightly larger then online and loose the line and think of some other way of lining them up. Also, the black color in online needs to be more of charcoal color. The black it really harsh on the eyes.
Keep at it, you'll get something. Don't be afraid of cracking several attempts at this logo. It has the potential of being a really cool logo!
Is very prominent and it could line up, the " l " and " i ", but doesn't have to. No complaints, go for it!
As above, i would try lining up the L and i.
It has a strong, newspaper, worldly, educational feel to it, nice work!
This logo is probably just fine how it is. I like the green and grey. I agree that the black should be more of a charcoal. The concept of the voices seems like it could be represented visually (graphically) somehow.
In it's current state, there is tension between the words "online" and "voices" because they are the same size and symmetrically spaced above and below the line. My eye gets caught up there and doesn't flow downward through the logo smoothly. Lining up the l and i could improve this.
I really like this logo.
I really like the use of type and choice of typeface. It's clean, simple, straightforward. Good colours.
Maybe the logo would benefit from more creative approach - having a symbol incorporated... Maybe.
For me, it works great.
I think the logo works good as it is, but I think maybe I would have aligned the words differently than centered.
What if 'online' was more left and 'voices' more to the right and the horisontal line longer on both sides. I think that may make the logo a bit more dynamic.
First of all, to me it seems like the horizontal rule between "online" and voices adds an unnecessary separation between the two ideas.
Second, consider using semiotics when choosing type. Using a slab-serif type for voices seems appropriate, since historically this style of lettering was developed to grab attention.
For online, I would probably use a sans serif typeface that complements Clarendon.
Also, have you considered how the form of a lowercase "i" resembles a hand-held microphone?
Good use of typography Nice clean and corporate Logo Nice color combinations
The typo font is perfect, but I Think that it don't mach a lot with the second one...
Maybe "The world is listening" must to be more mold...
i think it's very strong. i enjoy the colors and the typography, and personally like the juxtaposition of serifed font for an online archive.
i would change the "the world is listening" type, the typeface doesnt blend well with the serifs.
and see if you can work a mark in there somewhere. .
enjoy!
It does the job well. The typographic is good. I wouldn't change it if I were you. It has a nice formal and new media feel to it. The colours blend very nicely! Maybe you could transform one of the letters to represent a symbol just to add a little more character. Fantastic job all round!
I like the simplicity and the boldness of the logo. It's clean and solid. It works really well on your site. Good job.
nothing to say, but aaarrrgghhhh....
Hi,
I like the green and the grey. The whole is very clear. For a better balance, I'll add a icon and reduce the baseline, change the typo.
Bye
Maybe try a slicker typo like DIN ? I just see a typo very "typemachine-style", in contradiction with the online idea. Maybe it was your target.
I Totally Agree with you the colors are very cool but still need an icon
