Oh man. I'm not even gonna bother. I'm just gonna PM Simp the thread link.

[unchew]

I don't like it... too texturized and... uh... red. And why is there a microphone picture as a backgrouns? :S

[JCUSE]

TCR = Total Chaos Records >_<

[unchew]

uh... why don't you use waves or somethinginstead of a microphone photo?

[Brendan_Frye]

uh um go u?

[JCUSE]

Oh man. I'm not even gonna bother. I'm just gonna PM Simp the thread link.

Well then why post, and who is Simp?

[unchew]

Simplistik I think.

[JCUSE]

waves? Like what type of waves? and thanks for your help with making my logo better :)

Im gonna remove the "crumble" looking ness from the border and make it smooth. well try to. What do you think?

[unchew]

Maybe you could make it more simple and not use too much textures. Waves, I mean sound waves. Here is a little example of what I mean:

[JCUSE]

Ok I took off the mic and smoothed out the border a bit here is the new one

[JCUSE]

he.. that took you all of 3 minutes.. I been working on that one I made for like 3 hours. >_< Hmm thanks. I like yours

[Photogenius]

Love it unchew. You must have made it quite quickly, but it doesnt look any worse off for it! Lovin the outside bits lookin like the signal on my mobile!

XD thanks!:thumb:

[JCUSE]

-.-

I dont see what makes his :thumb: and mine :td:

[j_polo9]

well show us a vector version with 2-3 tones and none of that photoshop mess and we can crtique it better as a logo. If you want to make it like an orb do the orb tutorial, get rid of the border, and use a much simpler font. But honestly just start sketching out ideas and come up with different things than your letters in an orb.

[JCUSE]

...?

[unchew]

Don't use too many colours and complex textures that just don't look nice and make the whole thing unclear.

[JCUSE]

:sigh: thanks bundles... :(

I see....

Thanks this reply was very useful. Made everything make sense, unlike paddy's mature response.

[paddy.]

unlike paddy's mature response.

Shush you. I was just joking. (Although I did PM him the thread link.)

Here then is an honest critique of this logo.

1. At the moment it's not a logo. It's some letters and circles thrown together in PS. If you want critique on a logo you need to post one with a maximum of 3 colours as unchew said. Also a logo is always vector first so you can resize it. Simple shapes are the way to go.

2. There isn't really much to it is there if you strip away the PS effects?

3. What is a photo doing in there? Take it away.

4. There isn't really any design to this. You've obviously spent a lot longer on the effects than on the actual logo.

Don't use PS for logos. If you don't already have it I would suggest you invest in Adobe Illustrator. And good luck with the logo.

[SlowRoasted]

yeah those arent going to be scalable, might want to do your logos in illustrator

[Oli-G]

Might as welll jump on the bandwagon. No photoshop!

[JCUSE]

Thanks.

[bwh2]

it would look a lot better if you just used the mic with TCR next to it (in a different font). show it in black and white without all the fancy photoshop work.

[JCUSE]

MAybe logo was the wrong word of choice...

[billystar]

LESS IS MORE

buy a book on graphic design and read it. then design ure first logo

[simplistik]

:lol: Paddy and Envy are actin like fools :lol:

Anyway... there isn't much more I can say that hasn't already been said. It's not really a logo. If you put it to black and white it's just gonna be a ring around some simple text letters. The "logo" itself doesn't speak anything about the company that you're representing, which is definately something you need to work on. Once all the "glamor" of PS is gone this is a really bland... logo w/ poor execution. That's my .02

EDIT: Also... unchew's isn't any better than yours, some ppl are just silly like that. :cantlook:

[unchew]

I know mine isn't better than his, it was just an example of the "waves" I was referring to. Also, I'm just 15. :P

[REEF·]

Also, I'm just 15. :PThat doesnt mean you can't do something good :m:. 13-19 go go go :love:.

[fasterthanlight™]

You want your logo to be something someone can remember vividly, think Nike's swoosh, mcdonalds golden arches etc... What you have there is fancified letters. You will get better results if you use unchew's logo.

[BoonDock]

EDIT YOUR POST BEFORE HE SEE'S THAT

That is just hilarious!!!

Don't call me a foo', foo'!

age is no excuse, neverrain is only 14

[Vexir]

Yeah, I'm only 14 too... Kirupa is only 11... BombingPixels and HLall are 13... I think...

[zoe_says]

Unew example logo reminded me "AC/DC" , although I do think the sound waves would be a good idea. I liked your logo juse but I'm not a big fan of black & red.

[JCUSE]

Yeah, I'm only 14 too... Kirupa is only 11... BombingPixels and HLall are 13... I think...

Give unchew some credit. His IS better. For sure.

[simplistik]

Give unchew some credit. His IS better. For sure.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and in this beholders eyes... it's no better.

lol i chuckled when i read that. he was like 6 when he wrote that front page book, what a smart kid.

I never said it was good, and I never said it was more beautiful, I just said it was better as a logo. It at least gives you a hint of what the company does... That's something anyone would agree with.

[SlowRoasted]

get more simple. that is way complex for a logo

[Vexir]

Don't listen to him! He told me himself he's never pleased with anything :P


Not that I like it either... :P
