New Logo For My Company. What do you all think? Drag & Drop Trickery.

It's especially strange how I made it because I had the two images that I wanted, but I didn't want to mess around in Photoshop to get the effect that I wanted.



How I did it:
  1. I Uploaded the 2 photos to my server, then opened both in separate tabs.
  2. I "grabbed" the eye image and dragged it to the prism tab. (when you drag an image in FF, it takes on a transparency effect".
  3. Positioned the eye over the prism, but did not "drop it", I hit "Ctrl + Print Screen"
  4. Pasted the screen in paint and had the effect that I wanted.


Now it looks like I crated this awesome logo in Photoshop, but I just kind of "jerry-rigged" the whole thing.

  • It's actually quite nice! Do you have it already implemented on a site?

      Yes.

      MethodCorporation.com

      It's not really a functional site. It's a landing page for my business. "Method" is the umbrella company that covers all of my companies and workings. It's mostly so that all of my contracts, invoices and dealerships match and track back to one place.

  • Hey enlightenedone,

    Please take this as constructive. This as a logo is very complex. If you send this to a printer, the colors and transparencies would be very pricey. I don't know if that's a concern for you.

    A solid brand should be iconic and simple. Something that you could print in one color if need be. Something a little closer to your avatar.

    You can keep the concept though.
  • I think it looks pretty good. I agree with other poster I would definitely remove the grey edge.
  • I agree with 723Media, I think this is too many colors for a logo and breaks the simplicity guideline too. I am not sure if this would stand out nicely in small size (too much detailing on the eye inset). I'd also suggest checking how it looks as a watermark - I would suspect again that the eye would fade out too much. A logo may be required in many variants for different purposes, and you want to be sure it retains its original flavor on all of them.

    Also, a more fundamental 'issue' for me is that the concept of the logo doesn't come across immediately. What does it stand for? It's not a name, does it depict a name? What's the idea? I could just be dumb in missing a possibly immediate explanation, sorry if that's the case!

    Other than that, yes, I will admit that it looks pretty


    Good luck, and hope this helps!
  • It's not really going to downsize too well or translate well in black and white which as a logo it will need to in terms of resizing for business cards and printing out on faxes and photocopies etc.

    I have a couple of 'eye' related logo on my site, check them out for simple yet effective logo ideas.
  • It's Amazing. I usually click away if I'm on a website -- but, I would definitely stick around and see what else you had to say with a graphic like this on there. I wonder how it would look on business cards though? It seems like it would take over the whole card.

  • I think it can work for a splash image, not necessarily a logo since the colours are very bland.
  • I think this logo is good but could require more hard work. But i would say that it is a good effort.

    There are some good posts you should read to make it more simpler and unique. For designing a professional logo, you just require a little more hard work.

    • Just a tip if you or anyone else is going to attempt this trickery again. . Simply open the image from the web browser, or even easier - "drag n drop" the image file onto the browser window.
      In my opinion, the logo in its current state looks dithered/fuzzy and reminds me of some 1980's/1990's 256 color graphic.
  • It is very good and pretty looking, the concept is good but I feel the color combination is some what dull.
  • I'm not a huge fan of this logo. It is too blurry, colorful, and doesn't stand for anything. You need a much stronger logo with a simple color scheme. This looks more like an image than a logo - and not even a great quality image at that.

    But, that's just my opinion...

    • ^^^ I agree with him. +1

      This image looks EXACTLY how you said it was done. "jerry-rigged".
  • I'm just curious - how did you get effects in Paint? I checked it from the top to the bottom & found nothing. Could you share your "technique"?
