Logo

[Gaigemasta]

hmm this is the logo i have for my site, any critique on how to improve it?

[Shomari]

Imo a logo should be something original.
Either way you should either take out the text or the guy's head, one or the other.

[Gaigemasta]

define original? i made it from scratch, any custom font ideas, or image placement?

I say change the font weight so they're the same. I took a look at the site btw and it has a modern, simplistic feel. So in that case remove the guy's head ASAP.
Change the font to something like Helvetica or Futura.

Also a logo can be text or it can be an image (The simpler the better).
For instance my logo (avatar) - which was supposed to be phoenix, I plan on changing it - But I made it for the moniker "Revival", hence the so called phoenix and the use of negative space to create an arrow pointing upward.

So you could try to express a Last Hope through an image.

how bout that

Logo's should be a .png with a transparent background. That looks like a signature. A shitty one at that.

[Shomari]

Change the weight of the text so they're the same.
Remove the gradient; move and scale the arrow down the left of the "L"
.Getting there

[Gaigemasta]

hey man, its a simple logo, i'll make it transparent later, and kep the critique a tad bit more polite

im confused about the movement, where do u want me to move it at?

[Gaigemasta]

better?

[Shomari]

better?

Something like this:

how about this

[Shomari]

I think a heavier weighted font would be better as well as a darker red. One less triangle as well. Three looks like overkill.

[Gaigemasta]

better?

[Shomari]

Keep the triangles how they were just two of them.
Another thing I would do is make the triangles the same size, doesn't matter tho.

[Gaigemasta]

is there anythign else i can change or add to make it good looking?

[Shomari]

Looks good imo.

[Gaigemasta]

it does, but it looks like i made it with a logo maker, any other ideas?

[Heosphoros]

I don't like your current font used, the a, s and t look ridiculous to me.

[Shomari]

Looks fine to me.

What do two red arrows have to go with last hope?

It looks like you wrote Last Hope and used the polygonal selection tool?

1st one is text, without AA, on a low opacity cut out.

Sorry, not a fan of any of them.

[Shomari]

Fixed

it's too complex.. sadly.. to be a logo.. simplify it with less letters

Big effin' LOL
Are these simple enough to be a logo? What about my logo (avatar)?

those are shitty logos.. and yes yours sucks too

good logos are simple yet effective.. Apple logo , Nike, Addidas, Puma

[Shomari]

Can you do any better?

Btw don't come in here all arrogant, acting like you know a whole lot about everything.

[Panu]

lol @ Strago.

I personally dont know Shomari but I know his work, and I'll tell you his work is by far one of the best I've seen. To those who have touched photoshop, Shomari knows what he is talking about. Theres no need to waltz in claim to know art, knowing design, flow and even the works of logos comes with time, not by a simple post count.

[Stragosphere]

post count is all i have!

lol.. you don't know anything about logo's... you may have a symbol you like to use.. like i like to use a Decadentia R in my tags to symbolize Renzo.. but as a logo.. simplicity is key
