Title: I have made a couple of Logos.
Post by: Leto729 on May 08, 2009, 09:21:53 AM
I have been kind of busy lately.

I am apart of South Dakota Advocates for Change.

It is a Leadership program for People First.

These are the first rough drafts.

They both look good, but I like the first one the best because it's simpler, Kevv.

Yeah. That makes him look like THE FLASH or something. Cool.

Here a couple more logos.

The motto of South Dakota Advocates for Change is: Mobilize, Organize, Act.

I think the one at the start would be amazing if "People moving forward" became "Moving people forward". Though I am not sure if you are allowed to change the slogans.

All the best with it anyway, hope you continue to succeed :)

Am I not allowed to say it's shit? It's called OPINION, and my opinion is that I think it's shit. If you don't like my opinion, then shove it up your arse.

But anyway, continue whinging on how your life sucks and stalking aussie autistic bints. You're crap at everything else. :hahaha:

"Moving people forward"  is the logo the town I was born in used on their signs for awhile.  I always think simple is good.  On another note I thought this was going to be about Lego's :hahaha:

Still looks like a cheap job done on mspaint.

I like number 3. The mobilise, change, act bits look a little disjointed. Maybe having small bullets next to each one might look better.

Your being a bit harsh. There is little fundamentally wrong with them, just need an anti-aliasing filter applying to them.

I think that the images could be stepped up a bit by adding some outlining or bordering to the letters (same hues, different values) and maybe adding some small degree of "inner glow" or "inner shadow" as they call it in Photoshop (not that familiar with your PSP, sorry), which gives the lettering a slight illusion of dimension, then a consistent drop shadow to everything to help things stand off the background a bit. Don't overdo it and make sure that the "drop shadow" is consistently done on each item you want to raise or at least make the shadows progress evenly from either top down or bottom up if you want to have the images seem to approach the reader from below or above. Angling the lettering (as in using a vanishing point) also helps the illusion of falling or uplifting letters.
It wouldn't hurt to have the background show a slight gradation or vignetting from one direction to another or from the center to the outside, for instance.


I think all Schleed is saying is that they look unfinished, mostly.

As far as the content, I think it's workable, but be careful of using more than one or two font styles in the same image and make sure that a color change in lettering is for a specific reason and that it actually works when a print is viewed in daylight, rather than just onscreen.

The trick is make a logo memorable, but instantly identifiable. That's not easy. To make it look "finished" has mostly to do with familiarity of the software you are using.

Remember all those great commercials you've seen that made you laugh, but you have no idea what product they were advertising?  Those ads, while they were ingeniously conceived, did not work well as ads.


Don't be discouraged, Kevv. Just play with all the toys your program offers until you are satisfied.

It would be faggotry to be offended by that scot. I can tell the dude is a perfectionist from his room to his photography. Of course he's going to be overly critical. Nothing to be upset about.

The first one looks to me like a bikini bottom. So I would go with the second one.
