Logo Critiques

[VersusMG]

Let me know what you think so far. The Client has a custom 12 week training program for Brides before their wedding. We have to present the logos to them in two weeks:

Umm... the 3rd one is the best one outta all them... the font decision is poor... it may not be the actual font but just the weight of it. I'd try to round off the font too... instead of keeping it all hard edged and things like that. The heart could use some more depth, and a better shape to it... kinda bland ATM.

[VersusMG]

thanks for the suggestions...i'll work on a different font (were limited of selection) but i will definately look into some changes.

I like the 4th, but with a heart instead of the blue box. nice job

I like #2 and #3. But I think in all of them the font is not very strong. I would try to mix a nice strong sans serif with a nice readable script for the "Wed" part. The arc is cool because there is Arc's at alot of weddings. Maybe massage it a bit. But the fonts are not really on point at the moment IMHO.

lol err it is an interesting ordeal they have... a twelve week training course to prepare a bride to be fit for their wedding night... err i mean day lol.

I think the crooked 'Be' idea could work with some more work. The arch idea could be cool, maybe if it was more of a floral & decorative arch like the one that got burnt in Meet The Parents.

I think there are a lot of ideas you could try: foot & glass slipper (the whole cinderella idea, foot has to be the right size, be able to Fit in), stylized bride spinning in a wedding dress, wedding cake with figurines, hand with wedding ring and big stylized diamond... none of the designs above scream wedding or bride, the first two seem more like an excersize class.

simplistik: We just don't have a very big font library.

ddd: Thanks for the ideas.

j_polo9: her classes are a mixture she is a personal trainer who is trying to get business from brides. But i like your ideas

Beef up your font library....That is very important when designing logos and identities.

The third one is good, but the font needs to change and the heart needs a more solid shape. This one looks like it was made in Paint :P

Actually I think he means changing it to an outline and tweaking it a bit yourself in whatever program you're using. I do it for most logos I work on. Primarily because:
a) Most fonts aren't exactly right
b) It gives it a custom touch you can't get otherwise.

"lol err it is an interesting ordeal they have... a twelve week training course to prepare a bride to be fit for their wedding night... err i mean day lol."

yeah :)

i wonder what sort of training they actually undertake? being good on the big day or lifelong skills such as washing, cleaning and looking after babies?


logos:
in terms of taste = 1

in terms of what the client is trying to sell = 3

I think it's kind of a fitness course so they are fit and look good on the day.


I like SlowRoated's idea. Try to make the heart look more solid and play around with fonts. Clean and bold is the way to go.

greatest font site ever! Just type in the logo name and browse for a font that looks good, or one that is close and tweak it in illustrator.

[simplistik]

lol i think he was joking simp.
Yes I know he was joking... and so was I, sarcasm is completely lost here... need like a tag or something

[j_polo9]

true.

[e-sarbak]

I would suggest you the third one...:)

[.RobinK]

I would:

Use the arcs of #1
Place the heart instead of the square in #4
and combine those 2. :)

[simplistik]

How is this project commin along?

[VersusMG]

I have downloaded a million new fonts and i am going thew them. The client is out of twon until the 7th of May so we have some time to really get them right! Thanks again for the comments.

[prstudio]

hey man - i went through some of mine I knew were free (unless they no longer are) -

i think a few towards the bottom would be a good 'free' alternative:
i didn't put them in any real order besides me scrolling up the list in photoshop, then going back and forth a couple of times lol :)

[unchew]

I like the first one, but you could add bolds to some of the words.
