October 11, 201114 yr This is for my Brother. For me, the objective is to keep it as simple as possible, the Ockhams Razor approach. No fancy fonts, no motifs, scaleable, works in B&W, and who knows - would look good on a van. I don't think it needs to really communicate what exactly he does, anyone who sees this logo is gonna be seeing it because they already know what he does. The second image is in context on the website I'm designing for him. I think this works - do you? Edited October 11, 201114 yr by brightonmike
October 11, 201114 yr This is for my Brother. <snip> The second image is in context on the website I'm designing for her. Brother or sister? Make up your mind... the Ockhams Razor approach. No fancy fonts, no motifs, scaleable, works in B&W, and who knows - would look good on a van. The recipe for timeless logo design, a la Paul Rand. Edit: and Saul Bass, come to think of it.

October 11, 201114 yr Author Brother or sister? Make up your mind... Oh God, I'd have never lived that down! I have no Sisters, only lots of older Brothers...
October 11, 201114 yr Author In what regards Oak? What do you suggest? I'm not really for a motif logo, they're incredibly difficult to get right which is why I feel 99% of them are complete tosh.
October 11, 201114 yr I'd be inclined to agree with you. Most of the logos I make are usually text-based logos. I'm not saying it's a bad logo. It would probably do the job just fine. One thing it isn't doing though is being memorable and maybe that's something you could also address somehow.
October 11, 201114 yr I read that as F ING IT ^^ I agree!! :pp Although they are very nice Well done!!
October 12, 201114 yr Author He does IT support, networking, IT systems, web hosting. Just lots of IT stuff. He advises big companies on things like software licensing, what hardware setup they should use, etc etc. Thanks guys, think I'll take this one forward
October 26, 201114 yr try to set the font of "consulting" to cursive so it fits the line of the blue or black box? diagonal gives the box some speed, but "consulting" is to static now Edited October 26, 201114 yr by frankds
October 26, 201114 yr I like the second one on the first picture (the simple one in blue) although I feel it needs one more element of some kind to complete it.
November 1, 201114 yr Author The "consulting" bit is the same font size as the first bit, making it extend to fit the box would make it bigger and look odd in my opinion. Anyway, all opinions aside, it's been settled now
November 6, 201114 yr If you were going for simple I think you nailed it. It works in B&W. Consulting and IT Services I find some of the hardest fields to do logos in.
