Nice work so far.

I hope I am not being too overwhelming, but I have been a graphic design for many years and logos are my first love in design. It sounds like a lot of work and it is. A logo is an important part of a company’s identity and is worth the work. I would want yours to look professional and work well for you.

When you develop a logo your first step is to develop a design that can stand as a printed image. It’s difficult to see that looking at an animated image.

Here are some questions you should answer as you begin to develop your logo.

  1. Is your logo supposed to look three dimensional or is that what you did for the animated version?

  2. Is it always supposed to be in a pink box, or is the logo blue only.

  3. How many colors make is it made up of. When printing a logo on stationery or on simple objects many times it is printed in one color to save money.

  4. Does the design stand up (work as well) printed in a very small size as well as a very large size? The old Bell Telephone logo (a bell right?) had at least two images, one to be printed small and one to be printed large. Sometimes the design will have corners or points that tend to either fill in or disappear at small sizes. For this reason most companies have rules about how the logo is to be printed and at what sizes. (Even though I say printed, reproduction on the internet, on film and in video is included in these rules.)

With all of that in mind I must ask about the pink box. The logo does not seem to sit in it very comfortably. Try making it sit more in the center and remember to give just a bit more space at the bottom than the others side to give it more “weight” to sit on.

Good luck.

I love critics :slight_smile: thats why I posted this in this thread.

When you … animated image.
Indeed, I was playing with the animation system. Its only 1/3 of the text so there is enough to do. The final logo is going to be 1 frame of the animation.

Here are some questions you should answer as you begin to develop your logo.
1)It is going to look 3D because in the future I will offer 3D services.
2)No, the pink box is because you need a background. But my website (the upcoming new one) contains red, so I eventually need a red or pink background.

  1. I intended to keep the colorcount low, as you recommended, but with 3D there is always a gradient.
  2. Good point, have to think about it. Is it allowed, in the scope of design standards, to make another logo for small reproduction?

With all … to sit on.

Good luck.
