Hi everyone,

So I had quite good feedback on my logo design and had some suggestions so I have compiled a selection of logos and would like you to decide on the logo I should use (its a logo for my personal website).

Any comments would be very useful as I still need to refine all of the logo designs. Also, which colour do you prefer?

Thanks

None of them... because theres a change you could make to make it look much better.

Usually when you bend the corner of something back, the line thats left (unless its a sharp fold) isnt completely straight... The colouring on the "curled" corner isnt going to be uniform... If you can make that look better you might have something

Thanks a lot for the advice I have been trying to make it more realistic, but at the moment im just looking to see which logo I should stick with and then improve it. So once I've decided on the logo I want to use I will improve it - as if everyone prefers the logos without the fold then maybe I'll consider using that one instead.

But I'll try and sort the fold.

hmm there not, theres subtle differences which change the logo slightly and im kinda sticking to the same concept so they all going to look simillar anyway.

Is it for print based work?

Spooky · 25-04-2007, 06:33

B and L.

Limbo · 25-04-2007, 06:53

lose the gradient within the letter forms in L.

Herr Kurm · 25-04-2007, 06:58

If you are going to have it printed dont even bother with further detailing and shadowing.

lmclaney · 25-04-2007, 07:10

The logo will be used for my online portfolio and will be printed too. Yeah I was going to leave out the shadows for printing.

Herr Kurm · 25-04-2007, 07:15

Cut a circle from paper and try to fold it. It looks utterly unrealistic atm.

I meant do you only do print work? This is the suggestion I get from the mark.

Mitch · 25-04-2007, 07:20

Also I feel the composition/placement of the halftones could be improved.

Because I like the sticker idea and think you could have lots of fun with it as well (think latest Boots advert where they are stamping people), you could even apply stickers of the logo on proofs for clients to remind them who the designer is and prevent copyright infringement.

I also think red stand out more and if you use the above idea or whatever - red is more memorable and sharp.

Work on the shadow more though.

I already did that as I was designing it and what I have is a folded circle that has a very straight bottom edge with some light shadowing on the top edge and darker shadowing on the bottom edge. I thought I potrayed it quite well in logo F. Do you know where im going wrong?

Yeah I thought it would be cool to stick on proofs and documents, I was even thinking of making a whole collecton of different stickers...but that might be taking it too far.

I know it needs a lot of work to get the logo perfect and thanks for the advice, I'll keep on experimenting. I am glad to see that the direction I am going is good.

Herr Kurm · 25-04-2007, 09:48

actually the problem is that you folded paper. The plastic or whatever they use for stickers is firmer and harder, it wont bend that sharply.

Good point, very useful! I'll try and see how a sticker folds. Thanks! I think visually even though its not realistic at the moment im going to go for F and just try and just work on the suggestions. I also like L but it was pretty damn easy to make so could be easily copied.

D or K

i would like the little fold, but it isn't done very well here

Yes the concept is that I am trying to style it as a sticker. Whats so wrong about that? Yes they look simillar but you previously said they are identical...which as you can see they are not identical they have slight variations.
