logo critique

Hello Everyone,

This is a logo that I'm working on. Enkeli, means angel in finish. The company works with security systems. So I played with the idea of a strong angel. Any ideas suggestions?

Thanks in Advance

I think it's a nice idea, but what you made is not really working.

- Details get lost on this size .. I think I see an arm there?
- Walking angel seems a bit bored.
- The open wings seem a bit messy to be angel like, they look a bit like demonic wings to me.

Try something else, maybe less detailed but with the same perspective. - Maybe something with just wings?

agreed - I like the idea but the angel does not look "angel" but more "demonic".

So this is for a security systems company... the angel looks inactive, not exactly a protector. How about showing the angel with his wings outstreched, from a frontal viewpoint? That may give a more 'watched over' presence.

Good luck. All best,

I agree, maybe use a frontal view. I like the idea.

You could always try to incorporate the name and the Logo in one

The male figure looks like others were saying demonic or evil.

The open wings are to mess and too much small detail for a logo.

Maybe a simple basic female angle, with a weapon to look like security.

Did you manage to alter these logos? I agree that the open wing one looked a bit more dynamic than the closed winged one, but the wings did look more demonic than angel.
