Logo doesn't feel angsty enough.

mix of styles doest work

I like it, OP.

Like modern-day futurism. You need to further develop this style though.

common sense, typography 101

>>308499
I mean, I know all of that, but I meant typefaces within the same category. Like, I know Times New Roman was designed specifically for newspapers, but what makes it better-suited to that usage over other serifs? Why would a different sans-serif work better for body copy over Helvetica? Is it just things like the x-height?

>>308499
Who the fuck prints at 1000dpi unless we're talking massive jobs. Every print shop I've worked with prints at 300dpi.

>>309303
it could be tactic sans maybe try whatfontis or whatthefont also use /wsr/ next time

It almost looks like eurostile. Not quite it, but similar

Koopa Sans

>>307567
it should be self evident

just ask yourself
are the top 10 most popular [insert literally anything here, musicians, movies, presidents, books, actors] actually the best quality?

>>307567
Yes. Considering how much work this DIDN'T take and how much work this person probably DID get paid, yes.

>>307567
The value of a famous agency is less in the actual design and more in the budget you've committed to allowing meticulous research, extensive focus and a/b testing, and worst-case in "we used XYZ" becoming a positive media event in itself as it's a way of conspicuously signaling that you're a well-established and luxury brand while freeing up your actual design to be fresher and less stodgy.

Honestly, this is a good design within the restrictions of the English language and American political design; when you're reading left-to-right and can only use the colors red and blue+have to use both because muh flags, it's entirely the candidate's fault that it scans as "moving to the right" and "blue on the outside, red on the inside" rather than "moving forward, no seriously we had to make the arrow a different color because the whole thing monochrome looks like a microdick with phimosis".

There are other things more important than some emojis.

>>308881
So? This is /gd/ related.

>>308879
the poop emoji looks terrible. why does a pile of shit need a gradient on it

Stop being a lazy prick and fuck off.

some serverside image editing script that does the same thing as photoshop's gradient map

Looks like the photo in the front was turned into a grayscale Image, but instead of grey it's a shade of purple. There's probably a term for that but I'm very stupid and amateur.

Maybe there are plugins for these, but whatever.

- AI doesn't have an easy, direct way of making an isometric grid. The free vector app Gravit Designer has it and you can customize the grid in various ways.

- Transformation tools in AI let you move + copy object in fixed distance from each other, but you can't have an increase of the distance in a non-linear way. Would be nice if it was possible to put in various functions for the increase of the distance.

- Regarding resizing it's almost the opposite - you can have an increase of percentage from the previous object, but you can't use a fixed value. And you can't use a custom function either.

- Would be nice to have a customizable non-linear increase in stroke width using AI Blend Tool.

- AI Width Tool lets you set custom width for various points of the stroke, but only approximately by dragging the width points, you can't enter a specific value of width and a specific distance.

- It would be nice if to be able to control the depth of different same stroke overlaps in AI. It becomes visible once you use "Apply gradient along / across stroke". The only control you have is by the order in which overlaps are drawn.

- Would be nice to have a free tool in AI that lets you manually remove unneeded points without fucking up the shape. I'm currently using one of the Astute Graphics Plugins tools to do this.

- This may be crazy hard, but I've thought about a tool that traces a raster image in a gradient mesh (Illustrator's Mesh Tool). Lots of folks out there spend hours recreating low-res photographs as gradient meshes so they don't look like shit on print.

- Maybe a thing for AI that finds the 'visual center' of the object instead of the geometric one.

- More precise customization for AI Spiral Tool

Get crackin.

Faster way to smooth lines and curves out without bending their whole shape.

Gill Sans if it's preloaded on your PC, otherwise Segoe > Lato.

If you're willing to pirate, try: Meta, Myriad, Frutiger, Scala Sans, Proxima Nova, DIN, or even.........

I'd have to wait until I'm at work and nick it off the PC there, although I think we just have Neue?

I'll check out those other ones, see if any have the right vibe

I really like Montserrat or Bebas Kai

>>308943
Not even a vibrant enough green. See me after class.

It's a sideways K, not memorable. Try something not in the alphabet or a combination. I do like the way it looks (green on black cmd)

>implying your logo is better than hers

No, they'll shill hard for the memebook but the best you'll get is vague shit like "WELL...WELL...ITS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD" whatever the fuck real meaning that has.

You can build a PC for half the price, one that you can upgrade and maintain yourself without having to ship it to some curly mustache knit beanie wearing fuck in Cupertino. Fuck, you could even build a hackintosh if you're the type that jizzes over iOS and still save hundreds because it didn't show up in a plain white box with a fruit on it.

there is no advantage, people do it out of tradition

for a brief period of time, Mac versions of Photoshop and Illustrator were much better than their Windows counterparts but today, whether it's a beefed up PC or a mid-range machine, it will always win even the maxed-out Mac Pro or a entry-level MacBook both in price and performance.

God dammit am I fucking sick of seeing this thread pop up every month.
>Can anyone here sell me an Apple computer?
No. Go fuck yourself. Nobody gives a shit what OS you run except for edgy 15 year olds

>I want something to sound like movement, like a different perspective of something you know, like deconstructing simple ideas into creative visions

Well you definitely got the shitty intellectual philosophy down.
I like the name though.
Maybe shatter the logo just a tiny bit to bring out the whole "broken" thing

>How many of you market yourself as a studio when you're not?
I did that when I started. Landed a couple of crappy freelance jobs that payed crap.
It started working out when I joined with a coupe of friends and actually created a studio of our own.

>>308778

you're not a studio.
Let people know what you do.
Don't lie to your clients.
Work speaks for itself.

>>308778
I don't see the problem with hiding behind a moniker as long as it's professional and not some XxDesigner_69xX, especially if you live in a second/third world country as long as the results are worthwhile.

I forgot to say: it's a technology law firm.

Nothing says "modern technology law firm" like a canyon that formed before the Jurassic age.
