Oct 7, 2002 10:27 PM | | first, thanks for your email addy and home phone number ;-)
as a graphic designer, one of the aspects when I make a logo is that it must reproduce at various sizes. As it is now, I'm thinking you can't make that one image any smaller without losing the text. You can, of course, make multiple variations.
next point -- branding. What's your "brand"? What's the name of your "organization"? UFO? The font is very hard to read in general.
I like the background effect. What might be neat is if the overall black conveyed an image silouhette, like a big tree or something. I'm sort of seeing that right now, but then again, most rhorshack (sp?) tests, I usually see breasts.
Lastly, maybe add some dimension to it. Bring out the UFO with a glow or outline or something.
Oh, i like the lack of spokes, kinda surreal =)
For sh!ts and giggles, i attached my personal logo... |

Oct 7, 2002 10:46 PM | | I agree. The text is difficult to read. When I think of Logo, I think of either logotype, a symbol, or a combination of both. Your composition is interesting, but you should focus on the logo first and apply it to the image of the rider. The logo is fighting the rider for attention. Consider your hierarchy. Maybe tone down the image first and then apply the text. Online crits, what next!
Here's a quick thing I did after looking at the Isis logo. |

Oct 8, 2002 3:43 AM | | How about "Would you please give me some feedback on this image for school?"
Sheesh! No manners any more.
Nice photo, but to difficult to read the letters. |
| it's confusing and...ugly | mr_spin
Oct 8, 2002 7:55 AM | | I am not "the masses" (who is?) but that is my opinion. If you did something with the lettering, which is basically impossible to read ("UFO", or is the first letter a trident?), it might look a lot better. Right now it looks like parts of the picture are missing, or got scrambled in the download.
You need to make the lettering a lot more prominent, so it "pushes" the picture to the background so it's not all one big mess. Use a color that will really make the lettering stick out, such as white. That will eliminate the clutter and improve the image greatly. |

Oct 8, 2002 9:09 AM | | nothing personal... I don't know or have anything against any one here, but those are just plain horrible. I take what I do very seriously and there is a difference between someone with a formal art/design background and someone who picks up photoshops & filters the hell out of something. Also bevels aren't kewl.

So this isn't all negative... Logos should be simple, quick and easy to read, no matter if it's used on stationary or a building. bold solid colors and very graphic.
