I am designing a logo for a website for law students. It has to be clean and simple. Any advice? Is this just really boring?

Do Gooder · 05-07-2007, 12:19

I don't understand the tagline. Is it something to do with 'reading between the lines'?

other than that. look at the kerning (letter spacing)

can't think of anythin' else to say.. oh hum.

That's exactly it.

Do Gooder · 05-07-2007, 13:06

It took me a few 10's of seconds to get it.. and even then I felt compelled to ask you to make sure. I always feel creative stuff should be cleaver but not a puzzle.

But then.. I am a bit thick. Other more brainy folk (there's plenty of them!) might see the idea instantly.

I got it and I´m a one helluva dumb fucker.

Pretty nice overall, Id touch your type and colours tho.

Do Gooder · 05-07-2007, 18:32

probably me just being a dumbo then.

your colour scheme does say LAW
and neither does your font choice.

think "red brick university"
think "crests"
think elegance

most law students are stuck up there own arse money loving bastards.

think "eton" (is that how you spell it?)

burgundy or british racing green like colour palette.
you want an elegant serif!!!

and the strap line is CHEESY

e.boal · 06-07-2007, 10:43

I have ditched the strapline...its bullocks and unnecessary! I was once a law student....your description is accurate. I want to stay away from the ideas you suggested...that is not the way I want to brand the site...good ideas tho and thank you.

tag not clear

Letter "L" looks like #1. I'd consider another font. Also, off-set the tagline a little to the right, no matter what it says. The blue can be a little stronger with a little weaker saturation.

I think it works but needs some refinement, take it to the next level, I think you could communicate "read between the lines" stronger if you push it a bit further. Not sure about the colors as stated before. Might be a bit too bright and fun feeling

See the attached second version and let me have your comments!

The all caps and slightly bolder breaks it apart too much, and the slogan is a little cliche'. Sorry to be so blunt.

The typography isn't very good. Mixing lower case and small capitals isn't a good idea; it's disorienting.

Also:

The words you put in bold kind of disrupt the sentence. It doesn't roll off the tongue very easily.

Make it more shiny, its pretty plain now. Unless you want it to be plain that is.

When I mean shiny just look at my avatar, thats shiny.
