Critique My Logo

I'm not really much of a graphic design expert but here's my two cents

Concept 1: Too complicated, took me a few seconds to understand they were meeting at the top.

Concept 2: The thumb is a little cheesy for a boring technical niche.

Concept 3: This one I like, simple, professional and the ticks indicate 'trusted', 'been doing this a while now' and 'success'.

Concept 4: Too cartooned for a boring niche.

Concept 5: Easier to understand compared to concept 1. Still too complicated for a logo.

Concept 6: Too 1995 - 2000.

Hope this helps

I will vote for No.3 ..

Blessings to your IM Business

Ok here is how I eliminate them,

#1, 5:
- The symbols/icons are too complex with those small people, not suitable for a logo. A logo should look nice and clear even at a smaller size.

#4:
- For a logo, most of the times you need to match the colors of the symbol with the text color. The concept is too basic.
+ Good layout for the text if you want to emphasize "CHOICE" more.

#6:
- I don't like logos with backgrounds unless it adds something to the logo concept. It just makes things complicated.
+ Basic but nice symbol, gives good first impression.

#2:
- Again the concept is too basic.

So the winner is #3. Maybe still not perfect but it's going at the right direction. You can try few variations on this one. Overall the text part is good in all concepts except #6.

You seems to be rely on pre-designed symbols.. :rolleyes: need to edit them manually to get the right result.

I agree that the best is probably number 3; but I feel that 4 can be usable too. I don't mind the "cartoonish" feature as much; but that is just a personal opinion.

Okay everyone, I'm going to make some minor revisions based on your feedback. I'll be posting the revised logo concept based off of #3 here in this same thread for one last review.

If you stick with me, I'd love to give the person with the best feedback a free gift (and I aint' talkin' no cheesy e-book).

It's a real service from me to you. I don't know what to value it, but I really appreciate your feedback and I think you'll like the service I'm going to give you (but I won't let the cat out of the bag just yet - I want some really good feedback on the revised concept first, which I'll have posted here in a couple days - so subscribe to this thread to be notified when I do).

Only the best feedback will get this service from me (if they wish).

So far, the best feedback by far is from Nathan Joshua

Thanks again Nathan!

sorry - none of them look good enough to be able to work with serious companies.

You are doing business - so, be professional.

.. here you go, enjoy:



p.s. like it? contact me - I will give you .eps file -> free of charge

The fifth logo is looking professional..

Concept 3 logo looks viable due to it's brief nature and people can easily understand the meaning of the logo.

I agree with another member,concept 3 look good and web 2,0 style.I think icon using symbol CWB.

If your just starting out with Photoshop then i think these logotypes are pretty decent. I used to play with PS a lot and i know how hard it can be to refine all the details etc.. however, i like #1 and #3 the most.

For me your logo's looks ok , great for web hosting business.

2 and 3 look ok....The best thing is to keep it simple and creative.

I will vote for No.4

I like them. You may want to look at your competitors and figure what they are doing.

I will vote for concept 3.
as i think it's the best....

I prefer concept 3, IMO it just looks alot more professional and appealing. for my second choice i would say concept 6 and that would look very good on a website.

To me, concept 1 is better than all.
It's looking perfect to me.

Number 3 looks the best to me and most brand able.

It looks like #3 is winning Great work by the way!

My honest opinion: your getting there!

All your designs have an appealing professionalism and modern style them which is beautiful and excellent, you just haven't quite nailed this logo yet.

I like the concept of a tick or a thumbs up - your concepts are good - I think if you spend only a little more time on this you'll hit a logo which has the WOW factor.

Just my honest opinion, I hope it was helpful.

Peace, One.

I would go with #3 as it is the smoothest and cleanest. It's easy to get caught up in the imagery of a logo. I look at large brands and they focus on a unique font and a very simple logo. That seems to work best. Look at facebook, twitter, Coca-Cola, Nike, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, eBay and so on. Memorable logos with not much going on.

well here is what I think...
Con # 1 & 5 Took me some time to understand the whole fact. They are not so suitable for logo.
Con # 2 & 4 Looks ok. (2 is more ok)
Con # 6 Looks more like a banner than a logo.
Con # 3 Looks more professional. And topics oriented.

They all seem like theres too much going on, try some ideas with CWM.

I vote for number 4

Number 3 and 5 perfect in my opinion.
Those are looking simple. I think simple is best.

I like #2 as a web logo and #6 if you ever plan to use a banner ad anywhere besides your own site.

Mix Concept1 and Concept4.

i think concept 1 look good.
but maybe you choose any color to combine with the blue sky.
Maybe light green or orange

number 3

The thumbs up reminds me of a cheesy facebook like thumb. I'm not sure how it relates to your company. It doesn't make sense to me other than if you're trying to convey good service with the thumbs up, which honestly, shouldn't be in your logo. The logo should identify you as a company and/or brand, not the kind of service you want people to think you give. A lame thumbs up next to your name doesn't automatically prove self worth and satisfaction imo, it's almost like a d-bag taking a picture of his abs in the mirror and posting it as his facebook profile pic.

My favorite was concept #3. Professional, sharp, and unique.

#2 reminded me too much of Twitter.
#6 wasn't current looking enough.
The others were ok.

I like concept #3. very clean, simple & professional.
The rest have a bit too much going on...

Okay, I appreciate everyone's responses. But I have to say that Nonin came out as #1! Not only did he have the best insights, he produced the logo that I am going to be going with. If you're interested in his logo design (which is pretty damn good) he only charges around $20 for one like he did for me

Hire him before everyone else does!

Also, here is the link to a competition he is holding on his site -- It can be a little confusing, but not if you actually read it all out.

Competition « OutLived | UK Classifieds

So there you go. He's the winner of my service! What did he win? Well, I offered him page on ranking on the keyword of his choice. He decided for whatever reason that he really wanted me to tell people about his competition at the link above.

So I did!

But if anyone is interested, I am getting page one rankings for keywords that get 3,600 searches per month and have 100 THOUSAND competing web pages. That wouldn't normally be a lot of web pages to compete with, except that the competition on every one of them is fierce. I'm talking realtors keywords.

Anyway, if you'd like to ever hire me out, I'd be happy to give you a quote. None of my services start for less than $500 per month when it comes to local businesses, but for warriors, I'd be willing to make a special deal.

I don't want this to turn into a warrior special offer being posted in the wrong thread and getting banned, so I am ending this thread now.

Thanks everyone for the amazing support and again, to Nonin, YOU DA MAN!

i'd go with #1 or #3 ...

I think the best is c 4

i wants to create a logo for a company. but i dont know which software suitable for me?

i like the bottom one with the 3 check mark like figures; its simple so its less likely to go out of style very quickly

I like the 3rd concept. It is more easy for the customer or people to understand what is the business all about by just having a view of the logo.

I would definitely go with number 3 out of all of them. It still needs a bit of work, the colors could stand out a little more, maybe condense the whole thing a bit, try changing the fonts. Another thing is the check marks are far too big for a website, also make sure that your logo will look good in both black&white and full color in case you end up using anything for print in the future. Good luck and hope to see some revisions.

concept 4 took my eye and stood out the most.

This depends of the entire design of the website. If you even choose one of these logos, there is no guarantee that it will look good as a part of website.

I like the darker blues better than the aqua blues. Other wise the graphics are awesome. Nice stuff!

In terms of good graphic design, aiming yourself to be a trusted business and not just someone who isn't a professional - No3 is the one you need to go for. The other's don't convey professionalism or are too busy.

HTH

I like 1 and 5 the most!
