  • Concept: Personal logo

    1st concept

    1st one made the most positivie impression on me. I'm particularly fond of the colours and typeface(for name) you chose for this concept. They make the concept outstanding. However, the placement of name and tagline seem to be a drawback for this concept. Maybe a way around this could be placing name, surname, and tagline above each other separately next to the graphic.

    Probably someone else has a better idea about this. Do whatever you want to do with the placement of elements, but don't blend the graphic into the text nor change the colours and typeface.

    good luck.

      • Thank you! Sorry because my english isn't that good, but what did you mean with "blend the graphic into the text"?

      • you know sometimes we designers like to create letters out of shapes. here I wanted to advice that trying square shape as letter will not make any good for this concept. hope this helps. good luck mate.

      what to review

      What is this concept description? It's basically copy-paste from About Us page. As you have not stated what the concep is and what your objectives are, I personally cannot make any review.

      • Concept: bisrevo

        1st concept

        I'd go for the first one, if I were you. It looks more complete the other one. I got some comments though. the black and blue do not match well. either black is too black or blue is too vibrant. play with colours. try lighter shades of black with darker shades of blue. as is now, the colour scheme does not make a good impression on me. typography is fine. but using smiley face as the letter "o" might not be a good idea. because i, as some fellas here, read it as "bisrev" at first sight. i think it'd better to place the face next to the letter "b" and use a regular "o" for the logo. one last thing, the smiley face seems to need some quality improvements. as is now, lines are not sharp. it looks scabrous.

        good luck.

        • Concept: Redesign of interactive agency

          a few things to think about

          You got a pretty good base as a starting point. The way you intend to deliver the messages is a smart and appropriate way. However, there are a few things, as I mentioned in the title, to think about. First, the flow needs some more work. Because of header, body and footer blocks, at first sight, seem to be disjointed. Making the transition between these blocks will definitely make your work solid. The second thing is repetitively presented information both in header and footer blocks. Choose one of them to present the information. In my opinion,keep logo and menu in header block whereas move contact information to footer block. That'd would be cure of problem. The third and last thing I want to mention is the headers. The big font size looks good but I think they're too big. Make them smaller. And be consistent with space between headers and content below the headers.

          the conclusion I'd draw is that good start but a bit more work on details is needed.

          good luck.

          • Concept: New Website

            redo

            Well, I agree with farshad, Fariz, and Nate. this design, in plain words, does not work. So instead of investing time into this to improve, it's better to drop it. because it'd cost more than you wanted it to. What to do then? As you want members to upload their pictures and videos from their events, I'd say go and study flickr and youtube, two successful leading websites. there are two fundemantal things you should pay attention to on these sites, the layout design and colour scheme.

            sorry to be hard on you but I gotta tell the truth in order to truly help you.

            good luck.

            • Concept: Logo design

              readability

              Well, to me, it's a pretty good work as a practice. but not in terms of a brand identity. The 3-D look makes really difficult, almost impossible, to read it as "hd" (you used the initials, didn't you?). Plus, imho, 3D approach for brand identities doesn't work, at least nowadays. Go for 2D look and take care of reability.

              good luck.

              • Concept: webdogs

                dog head

                Dog head or dog skull? In my opinion, it looks more like a skull. I don't think that such a logo would entice the customers. Instead, it would rather scare people. Redesign the dog head and make it more friendly. once you do that, we can talk about the overall composition, colours, typography, etc.

                good luck.

                • Concept: Radio Station Logo

                  2nd concept

                  I like the second concept a lot. It feels like as if it is shaking as in the vibrations you experience when listening to loud rock music. That's why the 2nd one is the concept which makes sense. however, there some readability issues. due to too much details, it might be hard to read for some people. try to eliminate some details around the name. but not too much. just take away those details which are no adding anything to the concept. particularly the letters S and R are too busy. focus on them. besides, frequency of the radio 89.7 is also suffering from the same problem. make it a bit more cleare and easier to read. speaking of colours and composition, i'd say keep as it is.

                  good luck

                    • Concept: More Advertising Company

                      reflect the meaning

                      Babylon dictionary returns the following meanings for the word "more":

                      "larger in quantity; in additional amounts; extra; greater in number, larger in size; further; greater in degree"

                      Considering the meaning, I'd say drop all these concepts. Because, none reminds me of the meanings above at first sight. I'd try to incorporate these meanings into the name. How to do that? Well, I recommend you to make one of the letters, preferabaly "O", bigger than others. Or use bold and thin typefaces for O and the rest, respectively. another idea could be that extend use bold typeface for all letters of the name and extend stretch O horizontally. you might end up with a rectangular-like O but it'd integrate the meaning of name to the design.

                      Once you improve the feeling of the name, we can talk about the tagline and colours.

                      I know giving ideas is easy, but realising them is hard. But this is all I do know.

                      hope my comment helps.

                      • Concept: hatchergraphics logo design

                        good idea

                        well, i'd say this a pretty smart idea. but i have serious concerns about readability. before reading the tagline, i read it as i and n. maybe it's because the tail of j is cut out. if you complete the j and play around with colours, it might work. plus, the tagline seems to be floating. it doesn't aling with anything. that must be fixed too. looking forward to seeing your improvements on this. good luck.

                          the vertical name

                          well, i'd like to congratulate you for the way you integrated two letters perfectly. besides, pressed type makes it look really good in my opinion. the colour choices (except the blue) are good too.

                          apart from that, i'd say i didn't like that you placed the name vertically in terms of readability. plus, the blue is too brigt for this concept. it doesn't distracts the balance of colours.

                          if i were you, i would replace the blue with a darker one, prolong the tail of g downwards and place the name between the bottom line of h and the top edge of tail of g. it's a traditional approach, I know. but it'd work better.

                          of course, these are what I'd do. it's up to you what to do and not to do.

                          good luck.

                              2nd black concept

                              that's the best on in my opinion. the idea is simple, yet damn good and memorable. love it. also right-aligning the tagline is a smart approach and thus works great with the rest. i think it's done. there is no tweak or anything needed.

                              well, i cannot stop myself writing some words on first three concepts. the colour choices are unbelievably bad. Besides, the number of elements and their placements are really confusing and distracting. there is, in plain words, nowhere to focuc on. Sorry Aaran, but I had to honestly and truly talk about them as well.

                              p.s. my ratings are based on last three (black) concepts.

                                Hmm... I'm viewing an almost done project and like it. however, there two things to be tweaked. first the tail of m looks odd. i guess you did this to balance it with the tail of p. did you? anyways, cut out the tail of me. you don't need to concern about balancing because all is balanced already.

                                secondly, the kerning of tagline seems to be too tight. relax on that. as is now, I can't really distinguish the letters of WILL.

                                overall, nicely done! congrats.

                                  not working

                                  as others have pointed out, these two are too predictable concepts and because of the colour choices they're kinda boring. if i were to choose one of them, i'd choose the 2nd one and then make the colours more vibrant. i know tree colours are not supposed be vibrant but to sell this and draw attention you gotta make it vibrant.

                                  while writing i got a new idea, what about incorporating trees (probably two) into the name. more specifically, you could inscribe the trees into TT. what about that?

                                  good luck.

                                    first two concepts

                                    I like the first two concepts a lot, particularly the 2nd one is striking. because of colours, i guess. however, there is something bothering me. why the letter "n" is capital? you can make it lowercase as in Aaran's version. Plus, the weight of letters is not balanced well. i see you tried to draw attention on X by making the other letters thinner in the name. however, the design of X and its colours already make it outstanding. so you don't need to make the other letters thinner to make people focus on X. my suggestion would be that make the letters in the name bolder.

                                    speaking of tagline, go either for capital or lowercase. if you go for lower case, C in Centro must be lower case to balance with the rest. Also, use red from X for the tagline in the second version to connect the name and tagline.

                                    overall, good work. with some small adjustements i'd definitely go for the 2nd one.

                                    good luck.

                                        I've got one suggestion about background pattern. take a look at the vector patterns here ( http://arsenal.gomedia.us/index.php?target=products&product_id=30082 ) they might be of some help.

                                        good luck!

                                        Thanks for the visual comments, very well appreciated. I've incorporated a lot of the changes and it looks better as such.

                                        Thanks again!

                                        Noel

                                      2nd one

                                      I'd work on the second concept. the changes I would do, if I were you, 1- make "i" and "Art" the same colour 2- tighten them. as it is now, everything is spreaded all around. 3- the twistes "S" above the name is not necessary. It doesn't tell anything, imho. so, drop it. 4- make the word "smart" thinner while keepin the others as they are now. by doing that you'd have balance and draw attention on the word "Smart". 5- fix the kerning. in some cases, it looks unbalanced. for instance, compare the distance between S and m, and r and t.

                                      good luck.

                                        • oh sorry, forgot to write that by making i and Art the same colour, I meant use the grey-white gradient, the one used for Art, for i too.

                                          hope this clears the questions.

                                          the shadow

                                          Looks like you have a very good job here. All looks fine to me. However, I'd add some shadow to the blocks so that that stand out from the sky.

                                          btw, this design reminds me of a theme called, Twicet ( http://themeforest.net/item/twicet-business-portfolio-wordpress-5-in-1/49773 ) Is it based on this theme?

                                            • Hej Julio, don't get me wrong. I just found the look similar and wanted to find out whether my perception tricks me or not. That's why I asked. I don't imply anything.

                                              Yeah, I do agree with you about wordpress. It's the best and fastest way to handle updating.

                                              regards.

                                            kerning plus tagline

                                            good start, congrats. however, the put more breathing space between the letters, particularly between i and r, in the 1st line.

                                            plus, the tagline is too close to the 1st line. so push it down a bit and elongate the bottom part of p and exclamation point to line up everyhing.

                                            good luck.

                                              the kerning plus the colours

                                              I agree with Aaran and Eric on the kerning and spacing. I'd like to comment on the colours. They look too dull to me. maybe darker shades of gray and orange would work better. As it is now, it causes no excitement whatsoever.

                                              In addition, if you don't really need to stick to these colours, I recommend you experimenting with different colour combinations, particularly with Blue: R:0, G:182, B:223 Dark Gray: R:70, G:70, B:70

                                              good luck.
