BAM 35 Posted September 4, 2014 Here is a redo of our logo design. Still is not finalized, we have been workin on both for about an hour tell me what you guys think of these compared to the last.. Oh and the last had the GUNS AND FONT because the person who asked to do the logo wanted it to look like the post I made saying Id this font and get a prize. ( if you don't know what i'm talking about i'll re post the pic just ask me) Thats why it looked the way it looked. But I Agree with those who commented on my last post that it needed to be redone. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,627 Posted September 4, 2014 I think the problem is they are too pointy and symmetrical. I think something more like the nose holes of this one would work better. http://comps.canstockphoto.com/can-stock-photo_csp6996795.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn's Design 403 Posted September 4, 2014 +1 on the top one. Maybe look at getting a new skull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 4, 2014 Take the nostrils and try something more oval shaped or at least more rounded and less sharp that may help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 4, 2014 Still like the top one but I'd get a little lighter around the text so it's easier to read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BAM 35 Posted September 4, 2014 Still like the top one but I'd get a little lighter around the text so it's easier to read. Thanks Will do!

BAM 35 Posted September 4, 2014 By the way everyone I hope you know I've been doing this for less than a month so.. To those of you who think i'm fishing for compliments, or I think I'm soo good at this I really Don't. I just want help and constructive criticism and to those of you who have done this I thank you VERY MUCH . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,627 Posted September 4, 2014 I think I'd either get rid of the shadow on the text, or make the shadow dark enough that it appear inside the oval. Or maybe add a shadow to the oval to give the appearance that the oval and text are on the same level. As it stands, I see it as the text outside of the oval is on a higher level than the text inside the oval. Which could be the effect you're going for, but to me it just doesn't feel right.

Dawn's Design 403 Posted September 4, 2014 Looks lots better. I agree with mark-s lighten the gray.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted September 4, 2014 I like the top skull in post #10. It will look nice after some clean up. The second skull is cool but not for cut vinyl....too detailed and would be a weed nightmare as it sits.....be great for full color print. I agree with mark on your background oval. You need a lighter color to make the text pop. And to complicate things a bit more I think your text is too busy also. Nice font but go with a solid black for easy weeding. Cut one, weed it and you will see what I mean. Keep it going Bam. The overall design is looking good! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted September 4, 2014 Like Jay I prefer the top one. Way better then the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted September 4, 2014 Looks much better than the first one. The 'tool' needs a little more attention, doesn't look even with the WE to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

express2100 154 Posted September 5, 2014 You're welcome Bam. I know how it is.....I am in the same boat you are...learning that is. I have only been at it since March with no prior training or experience. But I haven't had much time at all to put into it. Not nearly as much as I'd like to.....feel like I should be so much further by now but it will come. I have learned a lot from the members here. Actually most of what I know came from this sight as I am not one to jump forums too much. These guys/gals may seem like their being hard on you but their barks are louder than their bites. A lot of them are highly educated in the industry and have years of experience. If they really didn't want to help you they wouldn't. They just want you to put the efforts in yourself before simply asking for the easy answer. You seem willing to put the work in so you'll be fine..... Now how's that logo looking? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted September 5, 2014 You're getting it figured out. It doesn't come overnight and I second the notion that you not take the critique personal. It's like school....oh not that again right! Well they are just giving you some pro-bono help and if you can see past the criticism to the constructive part you'll be the one helping someone out sooner than you think. Looks like you have access to adobe suite! Way to go, that's a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
