Good Luck!

Did you create the hand icon?
Look very familiar - YouWorkForThem clipart?
Loose the naff background.
Sort out the kerning.

Peace.

jamaica · 21-02-2007, 13:55

funkyprem · 22-02-2007, 05:56

Else will?

Else will? Я хoчу.
1. The background must be white only.
2. Raise the hand ^ because it seems to be sinking and redraw it - make it your own symbol/trademark/logo.
3. The kerning is not 100% perfect - some letters too close (g n) - but for a Russian audience that is not important or discernible.
3. Use of Roman sans serif letters + Western hand gesture gives an impression of foreign influence, but will your audience appreciate that particular quality. Would not the fingers symbol + Cyrillic Helvetica convey the same message? What are you trying to say to your customers? That you don't want to respect or maintain Russian graphic tradition?
4. If you must have two colours, maybe only the 2 should be an alternate color. Black hand and "designer", red 2 (really red - if you're going to make it stand out, then go for it!)

I must say I quite like it. The word "designer" in lower case Roman letters is a nice shape anyway, Helvetica makes it even more handsome.

try something more different than the peace hand symbol, to many people do it and always reminds me of 123klan.

why not add a more russian feel to it? like russian contructivism feel

vdesigns · 18-03-2007, 14:56

I think its good.

I don't get the association to the Russian Designers Union. Why "2" designers and not "4" designers. It could look a bit more "official" in my eyes.
