Logo Critique

[paddy.]

Hey all! I'm making a logo for the Swedish mountaineer Andreas Blomquist and I'm just looking for some feedback on them. So far Andreas' favourites are the first two.

TIA

number one looks good, but I'm not sure about the font tho... but hey, nice work!:)

[paddy.]

Thanks slumgutt.
What font/type of font would you suggest?

[slumgutt]

Haha, actually I've changed my mind... the font is ok, but "the 7 summits" is kind of ruining the lines of the logo. And at closer inspection i also like number 4.

Try changing the color of the font on nr 1. Maybe a lighter color, but make sure the weight of the logo doesn't change from the bottom to the top.

1 or 4 is what i would go for.

they are nice, but I'm not sure if I like the colar and or the waveyness of the logo. The jaggies make it look unproffesional. Could you smooth out the moutains a little and have multiple moutains there mabey?

Cheers!

@ Slumgutt // Instead of increasing the letter width I'll change the spacing. That'll keep the font looking right. I'll also try a lighter font. Thanks for the help.

@ 3d Nirvana // You ever seen a smooth mountain? Mountains are all jaggy like that. The colour is pretty close to the colours of the guy's site. Also there are 7 mountains in the first two.

I like 2.
I think it looks better with the font spread a little more. The mountains look correctly proportioned (compared to 1, which I think looks too tall). I think it's a clever idea to actually have seven ridges.
just my $.02

Thanks Josh. I think #2 is my favourite too.

[tonygarcia]

i like 4 or 6 ...

About the 1st one, which I like most.
Maybe if you tried making "Blomquist" blue would make 3 text lines look less than 3.

I also agree with 3d Nirvana about that smooth mountain thing. You are totally right about mountains being jaggy, BUT you could keep them jaggy while putting a smooth overlay to it.

Gr8 job! ;)

Here's the finished article. Made exactly to the clients specifications.

Good job... not really my flavor but, I'm glad you got it to the client's liking. "The 7 Summits" thingy makes more sense now after seein it.

My critique would be... I font could be improved... if the font was more full then I think it would be better, 3-4 pt stroke behind it would do the trick. And too add to what 3DN was sayin... I feel the same he does about it, the logo sorta looks like something I have in one of my old art coloring books, I think it would've popped better if the lines were sharper and stylized.

[paddy.]

Good jobYay! Praise from Simplistik! I love your logo work so that's cool.

I get what you mean about the stylised lines but my thinking was that it'd end up looking like just a group of triangles or something, and that it wouldn't be obvious that it was mountains. But yeah I know what you mean.

The font I liked at first but I'm not so sure about now. Problem with curvy text is that you can't edit it so It's kind of a huge job to change it now. Outlines I can do though.

Thanks for the critiques guys.
