February 11, 201115 yr Author then pay someone for a logo like everyone else. if you dont realise how important brand recognition is to a company then you are going to stuggle to get anywhere in this world
February 11, 201115 yr I am trying to acheive this sort of effect i just cant find anything on google for tutorials on this sort of thing any help would be great http://www.letterlogos.com/logo.php?i=657
February 11, 201115 yr Can you describe the logo you want. The link has SS is that relevant? Colour? regards, Richard.
February 11, 201115 yr Not really sure that was just something I found. I want something simple, memerable but fresh and not to corporate. I quite like the tree like one in the bottom left here http://www.google.com/m/search?site=images&client=ms-android-htc&hl=en&gl=gb&source=android-browser-type&tbs=isch%3A1&aq=f&oq=&aqi=-k0d0t0&fkt=2612&fsdt=5665&htf=&his=&q=social+actions+logos#i=1 To be honest though I am not sure Going on the decided name social swapz something resembling social networks, web promotion and swaping. The site is basicaly going to be this http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/topic/45661-new-website-name-ideas/page__pid__287480#entry287480 Edited February 11, 201115 yr by cyberpedz
February 16, 201115 yr Author thanks. i submitted the HotHead logo to logofury.com and its the toprated logo's on the site! Can you log on and give it a 5 star rating if ya like it http://logofury.com/top-rated
February 18, 201115 yr mock up for an eco-investment company Kerning and tracking. I'd space out the text on the bottom line, seems crammed together. Other than that looks good!
February 18, 201115 yr Author yeah, i've spotted that since posting this. forgot to give it some breathing room ont he tagline.
March 2, 201115 yr Author did this a while back but never mentioned it on this thread. just came across it while looking through my stuff http://www.alanpower.net/templates/love_logo.html
March 2, 201115 yr Your logos are pretty impressive. I like the thinkone and cre8 logos. The WYSIWYG is very creative as well. Keep up the good work
March 2, 201115 yr mock up for an eco-investment company EDIT: Revised version I think the one with the white background, because then the blue drop suggests water, which together with the green suggests environment perfectly. If you have a blue background, then no dice on the blue water drop. Nice logo! Simple, polished and effective.
March 2, 201115 yr Author I think the one with the white background, because then the blue drop suggests water, which together with the green suggests environment perfectly. If you have a blue background, then no dice on the blue water drop. Nice logo! Simple, polished and effective. cheers! that logo took me all of 45 mins to do haha actually the majority of the logos in the thread took me about that length of time haha just brushin up on my skills. although that eco one was for an actual client
March 2, 201115 yr cheers! that logo took me all of 45 mins to do Does that include conception out of interest or is that just construction time? If you were humming and ha-ing about the conception for a while (say you had a block, or a tricky concept) woud you charge the client for that time? Please advise. Also - whether it took you 45 mins or not, the client is paying you for all those years of experience you have. Doesn't matter in my opinion whether it took 2 minutes..... as long as the final result's there! Nice clean logos man, you obviously have the art of not over-complicating things, which is important in logo design.
March 2, 201115 yr Author ah like i said alot of the logo's on this thread are just things i did while i was messing with photoshop. i'd usually come up with the concept then pick a name to suit the concept if you know what i mean. it was all just to try figure out in my head why a logo works, how to balance words etc i just felt a while back that my logo skills were below par so wanted to brush up on them. for instance the Latest one i did, the eco-investment company. that was for an actual client. i did it on the sly in work (i have a full time job and do jobs on the side), had the logo in the bottom corner of my screen and made it that way haha only took an hour to come up with the concept and structure etc. i think the work i put in trying to learn how to make a strong logo will pay off in the long run. i'd recommend it to everyone, just think of a word and make a logo around it. similar to my cre8 thingy
March 2, 201115 yr ai did it on the sly in work (i have a full time job and do jobs on the side), had the logo in the bottom corner of my screen Haahaha that's what I like to hear!
March 11, 201115 yr Author new logo for a site im workin on. client asked to through something together as they didnt have a logo so put this together for him only took me about 30 mins
March 11, 201115 yr Author Thanks Lev. Just started the website for the project. no doubt i'll post as i go
March 22, 201115 yr Author dont really know where to put this but its a concept i put together with recent developments in Fukishma, Japan.
March 22, 201115 yr only took me about 30 mins Alzer - out of interest, why do you always state how long it took you "Only 1 hour, only 30 minutes" etc. - is this the time it ought to take us to knock up a logo of this standard? If so then I feel like giving up
March 22, 201115 yr Author Alzer - out of interest, why do you always state how long it took you "Only 1 hour, only 30 minutes" etc. - is this the time it ought to take us to knock up a logo of this standard? If so then I feel like giving up i dont know why i say how long it took. i suppose so you dont look at the logo and think its **** thinkin it took me a week to design when it only really took me an hour or so. like i said at the beginning that most of these logo's are done just so i can work on my logo skills. how to create a smooth flowing logo, how colours and structure complement each other to create a nice flowing logo. hopefully this work will stand to me down the line when it comes to creating actual logos. (although i know its very different in a real situation when a client comes with some weird name) wow your a very talented personnice work logo's look great thanks Josh
March 22, 201115 yr i dont know why i say how long it took. i suppose so you dont look at the logo and think its **** thinkin it took me a week to design when it only really took me an hour or so. Paula Scher, when she created the CitiBank logo, walked into the corporate office with a pencil and paper. In a spell of inspiration she ended up mocking up what is there today in about 30 seconds. The executives were furious. They had just agreed to pay her an absurd sum of money to come up with the logo design, and she was done in under a minute! They protested, asking why they should pay her full sum when it only took 30 seconds and she replied, "It took me a lifetime." Sorry for the horribly paraphrased anecdote. I wouldn't worry about how long it took. I'd worry more about how complete it is. You should post something along the lines of "this is a first draft", it's more relevant to the design process than time. like i said at the beginning that most of these logo's are done just so i can work on my logo skills. how to create a smooth flowing logo, how colours and structure complement each other to create a nice flowing logo. hopefully this work will stand to me down the line when it comes to creating actual logos. (although i know its very different in a real situation when a client comes with some weird name) You have some really good chops with Illustrator and a couple of these logos are really good. Hot heads is a great concept (though I'm not a fan of the effects applied to it) and I LOVE the "Pull" logo. Simple and effective. You just need to keep in mind that a good logo needs to work in black and white, some of the ones posted wouldn't translate well to monotone. I'd love to see more client work. As you mentioned, many of these are "I'm bored" or faux briefs. Real-word logos always end up being far more difficult when client interaction is involved. Our jobs would be so much easier without clients... Anyways, good work so far, keep at it!
March 29, 201115 yr Graphic design includes logos, print design, ads, magazines, newspaper layouts, newspaper ads, billboards, logos, brochures, books, decals you find on toys, CD labels & booklets, movie posters, and so much more.
April 2, 201115 yr cool logos alzer. im interested in your creative process.... inspiration etc.. i mean do you sketch things up? or just lash into illustrator?
April 3, 201115 yr fantastic job on the heart logo and the flash your very talented! Also love the "jump" logo it POPS! Keep up the awesome work!
