What about "NB" written in the internal wire of a bulb? (Possibly too predictable/over-used)

What about some sort of impressive visual (effects) mark, something akin to Starcom, etc?

The main body:

Then all the other areas pull out a certain colour, etc:

Regarding Starcom Logo, I call this "visual defects"... It's a trend. Colorful, complicated, difficult to reproduce.

Maybe, but their execution has been brilliant IMO... I definitely don't see them as the boring, old, stuffy, media planning, money pinching bastards that I used to.

They´ll squirm alright when they are told how much more printing costs are.

Sorry I haven't had any updates for the past few days all. Been pulling back to back all-nighters working on my VFX projects. Hopefully this little break will liven me up with a fresh bash of ideas that are hopefully more successful than previous concepts. =)

Cool designs! From the very first one, I like C3 and C5. But I also like 5 from post #20

corsicanu · 01-02-2008, 04:45

they are too crowded man, we can't see what's happenin'. Pretty original though. I'll say C8

Hey all,
So it's been a while, and school's been runnin me dry, I tried out a few more ideas and I'll post them as I clean them up a bit, but here's one I fleshed out with a few variations of a similar idea.

In regards to the linked image. A friend of mine suggested perhaps I should drop my first name from the 'logo', because as far as a brand goes, my last name is far more memorable than the first name, he suggested it may make for a stronger brand overall. So I gave it a shot in 6.

Thoughts?

l like 6 Mr bartone.

would just look at the kerning (letter spacing) between the 'a' & 'r' also a tiny tweak to the 'o' & 'n'

nb · 10-02-2008, 16:27

I played around with the kerning, as well as some shading possibilities.

Do Gooder · 10-02-2008, 17:08

grand. suppose v1. but the simple flat version still pips it for me

nb · 10-02-2008, 17:33

Tried some color variations on the flat versions. Don't know quite where to go with it, if it should be two tone, if the icon itself should be multi-colored, if it all should just be flat, one color, simple. I tend to overwork things, as you've all probably noticed.

Mandy Moo · 11-02-2008, 07:58

It took a while but I think you finally got there in the end.

nb · 14-02-2008, 01:52

Thanks Mandy.

I'm still torn on how I should approach the shading on this. I asked for feedback from a group of friends elsewhere, and it was pretty split. Half liked the metallic 5-6 look, though suggested maybe other colors aside from orange, the other half liked 7 in particular, or the flat black single color of #4.

What do you all think?
