opinions on a logo c+c welcome

rahenyguy

what do yas think ?

DonkeyStyle \o/

Overall I like it, but...
1). It reminds me of the Xbox
2). The hamunaptra text is a bit hard to read at first
I'd experiment with simplifying it... boiling it down into something more simple but striking... but then I'm not an expert designer myself, this is just another random 2c for ya.

Back to the drawing board, this doesn't work as a logo at all

projectmayhem

by default, a logo should be something a 5 year old can draw. too much going on here to be a logo tbh...

rahenyguy

A logo (from the Greek λογότυπο) is the conglomerate of a graphic element, symbol, or icon of a trademark or brand and its logotype, which is set in a (preferrably) unique typeface or arranged in a particular way. The effect of which should be immediate recognition. The shapes, colors, fonts and images are usually different from others in a similar market. The logo is one aspect of the brand of a company or economic entity.

the logo is in use at the moment its for a n/club so i dont think we will be hoping five year olds can draw it

you've totally missed the point rahenyguy of projectmayhem's post..a logo is meant to be simple so you can easily remember it. Your design is to heavy on the brain and people will reject it


you have each word appearing 3 times which makes it very hard to concentrate on the titles
you're using an un-naturally shaped object...i can't make sense of it
the colours are poor and the grey object is fuzzy (i presume that's a photo of a greyed mirrorball or something?)
there is a blue trail on in the top right hand corner...is that meant to be there?

PS. Quoting Wikipedia...why? You're coming across badly since you're looking for feedback on a design

apologies if i came across bad im just very fond of the design,i had a much simpler version but i like that one maybe you might like this one better

I am afraid I dislike it too. It just doesn't work, go simple...plain font, clean lines, using a black back ground how is it goign to look on their letter heads etc? Black box on white paper? Where exactly will this logo be?

There is a large thread in webmaster/ flash atm about logos, I suggest you have a read.

rahenyguy

it only appears on concessions flers etc have a white version for appearing on anything lettery we need to use it

I have to agree with the others really, the first logo there is really hard to decipher, the second just as bad, and the last one is just awful (was that actually used, it looks horribley distorted &pixellated)

It probably could look better if you didnt use so many effects in photoshop (thats what it looks like with all the blue trailing, etc.) and didnt repeat the name so many times, it would be much clearer.

Sorry if it's not what you wanted to hear, but maybe you could learn from these mistakes and improve your next one? Simple is always better, maybe you could commision a five-yr old :P just kidding.

To be honest it's better than some of the crap you see out there, so don't give up!

learn illustrator, it mighty help you clean things up a bit. How do you think a logo done with a billion photoshop effects is going to print?

wise words. illustrator is simple, easy and creates some fantastic logo outlines which you can then export to photoshop to mess around a bit with (that's what i do anyway)

rahenyguy

might look into that,thanks for the advice everyone,im a complete novice to this and was only playing around when i done the logo,asked to take down the pics by company using logo sorry
