SVG if the art is vector, otherwise 72dpi png for flat graphic stuff and 72dpi jpeg for photos/detailed illustration

SVG will always look the nicest if you have vector options since it scales. 72dpi png and jpeg look good on most screens except retina ones so 144dpi might be ok if you care about sharpness and don't have a ton of images for your user to download/view.

many ways to optimize the file sizes for web graphics as well, varies by file type usually.

Summed it all up.

You also may want to look into creating an icon font.

Is wifi's circle is centered into the box?
Maybe a light blue for signal, and a brown/grey for the box. Try some stuff, and post them.

It's too detailed, especially for a tech startup.

You need to look to google image search 'flat logo design' for a start and work on a more symbolic and unique approach to your logo- even check out some other bigger time agencies in some popular countries around the world - get a taste of what's going on right now for inspiration.

It will help to create a concept for your brand - start with why you are better then other IT companies, and if you can't think of any then you need to re-model your business.

I always tell me clients to make something that their proud of and the colours should be something that you enjoy and makes you happy to share your brand with others (especially when you're networking, a good brand shows you're serious!)

Something that you might want to look at for design, modern gradients, check out 'gradients web design' on google images, really cool and looks great online... Anyways, good luck!

thanks for the critic, im going to redo it

Just grab a strandy brush preset and set rotation to follow direction senpai

Looks like they made a gradient, put a black layer over it, and erased with a brush.

Desaturated it –looks like a simple mish mash of white bristle brush on a black background

photoshop you imbecile, read the sticky

>>252725
in illustrator

>>252725
nothing about this in sticky douchenugget..

>>252762
search for references.

I like it, what elements do you feel like it's lacking?

OP here: I forgot to impart my own critique. The S at the end seems off. The font used for Feast could be different ( I went with a "ye old" look ) and just white may be a boring choice.

Also, the crystal... I dunno, the more the I see it the more I like it.

Heh, I assumed it was a reference to Emerald City

You asked for it...

"the" is riding too high
"feast" and the "s" have an uncomfortable negative space relationship.
Logo looks OK but cannot be represented in 1 color effectively.
Kerning on "feast" is super tight and bad.
Logo currently relies on a blue BG, with a non-color BG (white) the copy would be black or the darker green, what does it look like?
You posted a small image but even with a limited view the color transitions in the logo look inconsistent in width.

You have a good foundation, work upwards from it.

rename them to emortals because there's an e in that there logo

This is actually pretty genius. Would make that logo 9/10 for me

Gravity had the best logo

Can you explain your logo? What does it say about this company?

>>250700
I'm not sure I like the imagery.

An up arrow for power or superior, yet contained. And media as in music and video?

Try Inkscape

Paint.NET is the answer you're looking for. It's a logically upgraded paint with transparency, layers etc.

I've been using it for years. I use it over PS if the task is simple enough simply because it's so no-nonsense yet still has all I need for simple stuff.

>I don't understand it so it's bad!

Why not learn how to use a program properly rather than going for the simplest program with no features.

>>251699
sure

tell them to increase their budget and hire a real designer

>>251699
Is that actually their current logo?

>>251729
clearly its from the last 100 dollar contest they held

>>252793

mooie compositie
ik zou het met een light of thin lettertype onder het kruis centreren. of maak de bovenkant en onderkant van het rood is kleiner waardoor je meer speling hebt boven en onder. Schuif dan het rode vlak iets naar boven tot je een witte lijn onder het witte vlak heb en de zwarte streep die groot genoeg is om zelfde soort grootte te doen als utrechts studentenkoor

>>252805
witte vlak moet rode vlak zijn bedoel ik

Im not trolling btw

Impact?

fellow board/card game enthusiast here.
there are several aproaches to achieve that style.
what I would do is to use dmesh or some other software intended for poly art
http://dmesh.thedofl.com/
and simply recolor/erase some of the polygons

>>252526

Thanks dude, i'll check it out.
It seems to be exactly what i need.

Well... it's not what i expected.
I'll try to improve this. I think i've put to much detail when all i had to do was to be simple.
