review this logo please

13 years ago

I like it as it is. It's aesthetically pleasing to look at and the graphic element is clear, simple and appropriate.

Looks like a job well done to me

Thanks

I'd try a thinner line on the arrow - it seems a little out of balance (weighted to the left side of the logo) because of the difference in width between the arrow and the font. Alternatively, you can also beef up the font thickness.

You beat me to it.

Overall, it is great -- but the thickness of the arrow grabbed too much of my attention.

Yup. Thinner arrow, but slightly bigger tip on it. The rest looks great.

The text gradient seems kind of distracting cause its too light in the middle. If it were me I would have done something like this: http://i.imgur.com/IO4yG.png but it does look good

Although the chart is too big compared to the text

I think sodevious helped you out on this one, OP.

It does look better. The gradient and thickness of the text fit much better with the graphic, too.

Thanks

First I suggest keeping the same color green for the arrow and "Profits". The lighter shade of green for Profits plus the thin font width keeps my eye on that arrow and almost missed the word "Profits". I would make the line width for "profits" thicker than "Quantum" since I believe that profits is what will catch the eye. I would make the "line and arrow" the same width as the final width of "Profits". Right now my eye goes to the arrow and could easily miss the word Profits. I would also make the arrow more of an arrow and not so long. I would go with the shorter arrow. Those are my thoughts.

Thanks

I don't like the arrow per say, the end of the arrow should look more like an arrow like you use in copywriting and less pointy.

1. The font used is not great. It doesn't really have the impact I would want from a logo.
2. I would never use drop shadow in a professional logo.
3. The arrow image is way too big for the text.
4. The grid image is not needed and just makes the logo look a little tacky and 'clip arty'.

I just did a quick 5 minute job to show you how much better a stronger font could look. Image is attached.

Thanks

Thanks. The arrow is a little crap but this was just a quick job. But what you say is right. If you are wanting to brand something then you need a part of the logo (not the words) that can be used and recognized easily by itself.

Clients often have grandiose ideas about what a logo should look like and some are very hard to convince otherwise, but all you can do is suggest and offer solutions and ultimately, the client will have the last say.

  I like this arrow even better without the grid. You can still do the gradient with the top text, though, just be minimal with it. Use seodevious' example.

  I've viewed the logo by WillR and read his comments, which are spot on. The ONLY thing I might suggest is that you sharpen the bottom message ("marketing & business growth experts") font. As it stands now, I feel that the message becomes kind of an afterthought beneath the logo, but sharpening it up a bit might be just the trick to make it stand out without detracting from the logo itself. Other than that, I think it is near perfect. Hope your client likes it!

If you are referring to me unfortunately I don't do logo design. That was just a quick example I whipped up to show the OP the difference some stronger text could make to the logo.

WillR has definitely made some cool changes, but its your call. Personally I agree that you need to make the arrow a bit thinner, remove the drop shadow and have the arrow and Profits in the same color..

I have 4 tips:

1) I'd try it without the grid and see what it looks like. Maybe also shorten up the arrow so it doesn't use as much vertical space. That would simplify the design... and, in design, simplicity is a virtue.

2) I would probably remove the "web 2.0" shine from the letters. It's makes them a bit too light.

3) You have an extra space after the word "marketing."

4) Check your kerning. For example, in the word "Profits," there is a bit too much space between the "r" and the "o" (and "f"). But the "f" and "i" are too tight.

Hope that helps.

John

Thanks

Reading through this one, I love Will's adjusted one.

It's been said to death already but, simplicity is really key with logos.

I'm not a designer, but when I write slogans, I love pairing them clear simple logos. The combo leaves a long-lasting impression (and it's great for branding.)

The last copy is the best on the graph with arrow is to over played. If your looking for a logo you need something unique that stands out not something generic in nature.
