Trying to do a logo for a music streaming service, they want it looking 'technical' and 'nerdy' as opposed to anything to do with musical notes or smiling mascots.
These are initial concepts.
I'm trying to make the A look like it's made from wave-forms, anyone know of any better techniques for making non-uniform wire frame/mesh letters?
>>306304
Another(4)
>>306304
This one's cool. I generally hate graffiti aesthetic but you make it work here.
>>306305
What does the first A look like without the white mesh surrounding it? I would go for a blue/pink/white unless that's the colors they specifically asked for
>>306308
Yeah I wanted to do more fun colours, but they wanted greens/reds/yellows (old Fruityloops colours).
I think the surrounding mesh is kinda needed to give it some foundation, otherwise it just looks like a hot-mess.
>>306309
I like this, I would tell them that those colors are a terrible palette but in more kind words
>>306310
You think it looks good without the surrounding mesh? You don't think it loses the quality that says it's emerging out of a digital mesh/wire-frame?
Yeah you're right, will try and point towards a diff colour scheme. Thanks
>>306312
It catches my eye and is more pleasing to look at, to me
I don't design logos though desu
>>306301
I like this. Word 2004 aesthetic
>>306351
Thanks dude!
>>306313
Can I understand something? How does you all come out these assessment? Based on what you think it cool? It looks nice? Is that really it? Aesthetics?
>>306379
I'm the anon who did the 'A' he responded to. Why do you ask? Do you think it's too weak conceptually? Thanks
reposting from the prev thread
is it bad to add the blush marks to the name? because if it's designed in black and white, the e will be lost in the circle
>>306397
What does it look like with red e's? They're already circular maybe the background is unnecessary.
>>306305
if you've got an android phone, export one of these as a png and try it as an icon. i have a feeling you might end up losing most detail.
Critique please. how to make it better?
>>306405
eyebrows too close together, should be aligned with the eyes more, eyes are too angular and tilted weirdly making it look sad or beady eyed rather than noble or fierce, mouth/muzzle part looks like pom poms or something because you're using perfect circles of equal sizes, mouth should extend out to the left and right more so it doesn't look like it's pursing its lips, the whiskers look weird and you should come up with a different way to draw them (the perfectly uniform curves make them not read like whiskers, looks more like the markings on a mandrill's face or something),
>>306379
Obviously. It's not my field of design specifically, but maybe a second eye to have an opinion wouldn't hurt. Don't be such a damn stickler. I imagine you as a cartoon ostrich with winged glasses on moving closer to me with each question and finally being face to face with me by the end of your rant
>Pic related is you
>PS shut up nerd
Firs time on /dg/, hope i'm not in the wrong thread.
I'm working on an album cover. It is a Noise/Electronic album, kinda Hardcore. Here are some tried, do you guys got any advices ?
>>306443
Mate, those are sick. Really good shit, represents your music perfectly. Top left, middle left, and bottom right look like album art I'd be happy to own a physical copy of.
>>306443
Looks great my friend
>>306443
These are great.
I think you should work a font that one might not expect with hardcore into the negative space in the middle left version, see how it looks.
Middle left and bottom two are my favorites. Top left looks great too, but I think you could afford to stand out a bit more from other noise/hardcore acts, given that you have other, more unique art to pick from.
>>306447
>>306450
>>306460
>Top left, middle left, and bottom right look like album art I'd be happy to own a physical copy of.
Well, Thanks for the kind words, did'nt expect that !
>>306460
>but I think you could afford to stand out a bit more from other noise/hardcore acts, given that you have other, more unique art to pick from.
Sorry as a frenchfag i didn't understand everything. Do you mean the font is mainstream to the Noise scene and i should try something different ?
>>306465
I think he is referring to the style in general, however I think it works just fine. You have a large variety and I like everything you have posted
>>306423
lmao, i'm not trying to point fun of your assessment. I am just thinking about how do you justify it. But clearly you seems upset, must be based on feelings.
>>306400
like this? do you think it looks too plain? since im just using a font and changing the colors abit
>>306489
I think the bottom text either needs to all uppercase or all lowercase, the fonts clash a bit to me as well. But that might just be me
>>306306
this one is interesting, i'd remove the eye image though, makes it more mysterious
>>306495
Thank you, made for one of my ex's so there's no point in revisiting that one
>>306489
Hope you like desu
>>306498
and i just noticed you turned the frown upside down
>>306443
generally great but yeah bottom left, although maybe with a bit of texture like in top right?
>>306498
nice job!
love the little hearts as accents
Does legibility really matter all that much? :^)
(Can anyone read this?)
>>306600
I'm used to reading horrible 19th century cursives and medieval manuscripts that consist of 50% ligatures.
And I'm really struggling with this one.
Mutotune?
>>306609
Autotune :(
I fixed it up a bit, I just don't like the logo as much when the A is this shape
>>306577
>hah_gay.gif
>>306613
Faaaar more readable. The problem is that the brain works quite like a dictionary. So if the start of the word is unrecognizable, it is very hard to make out the rest. If the beginning is recognizable, your brain will make assumptions or predictionary for the remainder and it will be much easier to identify the later letters, even if they are more difficult.
>>306613
as a 3d nerd the pseudo-topology of the logo pisses me off
>>306623
Just to add to this, if I don't split the middle line into 3 lines (Which you mentioned looked weird, and I agree with you there) then I'm left with too much 'bare space'. I only have a limited amount of lines to play with because I'm being strict with how many I want in the logo (Readability etc). Again, any tips for this? How would it look with true 3D?
>>306576
Go to bed David. I already have to put up with your shit on /lit/ all day

>>306688
>>306661
>Are the two shades [...] really necessary?
This was my immediate assessment, too. The design isn't particularly impressive or strong, but the extra shade of pink/grey just feels like you're insecure and trying to spruce up a concept you don't believe in. Either own the shape of it and make it one color, or ditch the design and come up with something new.
>>306576
Where are the tennis balls?
>>306688
Yeah I fixed the monochromatic now, forgot to get rid of the grey. pic related
I used two shades cause the B has its own shape but the R is cut off so the lighter color differentiates it. Client wanted two tones, I can try with one and convince them.
>>306695
Does this look better then?
I feel like there is too much weight on the fish head and too little weight on the sperm cell tail.
any ideas on how to fix it?
>>306498
this is so nice
what fonts are those?
>>306735
Make the fish smaller, make the sperm bigger and shorten its tail?
Also holy fuck I hope you're gonna fix the antialiasing once it's done.
>>306738
it's losing quality when I save it for web for some reason
is this better?
>>306739
Save it as a png.
Sadly no, that angle for the sperm looks really weird. The tail being bigger is a step in the right direction though.
Keep it lined up with the rest of the circle and just shorten the tail (rather than curling it up) if you need to. People will know it's a sperm even without a ridiculously long tail.
>>306740
illustrator only allows me to save as png if I pick save for web though
shortening the tail really worked, thanks
I was also thinking about doing something flatter like the picture on the right. maybe the details on the fish are unbalancing the lack of detail on the sperm cell too.
>>306741
It's still not quite lined up with the circle like the fish is though. It needs to curve more.
>I was also thinking about doing something flatter like the picture on the right.
You could. Although I get totally different vibes from the two.
The current one feels like something you'd see in a college or a club, the second one seems more like what an actual research team would use. So depending on who your client is they can give two different impressions, at least to me.
>maybe the details on the fish are unbalancing the lack of detail on the sperm cell too.
It is a bit jarring but I don't really see what you can do about it. Maybe get rid of the whiskers and eyes, and make it a bit smaller overall (or just move it if you get rid of the whiskers) so that it doesn't cut into the circle like it does now.
Although doing that might make it look kind of boring. In which case keep the circle like it is, but get the sperm closer to the edge so it starts sort of cutting into the circle as well. Not too much though.
>>306742
>The current one feels like something you'd see in a college or a club, the second one seems more like what an actual research team would use.
shit lad I might as well just drop this one and start working on something like the right then.
guy offered double pay because he said I was charging too little
>>306744
and no whiskers and fin detail
>>306744
>>306745
I guess it doesn't matter if you're gonna basically scrap it, but by "aligning to the circle" this was what I meant. Sloppily thrown together in 5 minutes because I should be doing something else right now but it gets my point across.
>>306746
ooh I see
thanks for getting out of your way. i should be doing something else too like fapping because I worked on this on way too much
>>306747
Well you definitely do need to work on your sperm.
>>306465
these would be 10/10 if they had some colour
seriously every industrial or drone or noise album is b&w
>>306299
a little distance may be better
>>306305
I too am trying to do a logo for a music streaming service.
Could you kind folks tell me which looks better?
A
>>306925
or B
>>306926
or C
>>306930
Well it's just me, no client, and I'm promoting small indie artists on youtube.
I'm hoping to send out a cool and modern monstercat-esque vibe without trying to appear too professional.

can't read, trying too hard, too much space between balls and curves on the T and E looks disjointed, but the A looks fine
>>306665
choppy lines, shitty color choices, take color theory
>>306735
vectorize the fish and sperm, give it cleaner lines with nice bezier curves, pick a different typeface
>>306925
crap

better
>>306927
crap
>>306972
cool design, make tentacles more minimalistic, it's a logo
>>306973
put a filter on the green and the pink that gives it some sort of texture, or do a low opacity of the girl's body side and put it under the green and pinks
>>306979
Thanks. Will play around with the tentacles. So it's clear that it's supposed to read as 'Mizu'?
>>306981
I think it would look more readable as Mizu if the tentacle was a little less slanted, but not completely straight to give it some movement and life

Looks great, minus the coffee stain which looks both bad on its own and out of place.
Also I think having the same stamp on there twice is a bit pointless. Keep the one at the top right and get rid of the one on the bottom.
I'm not a graphic designer, however I am planning to start a website business for people in my area. I am learning to build websites on freecodecamp, so I am following their parameters without too much cheating beyond my notes or using plugins/extensions/etc.
Anyway I want to call it finished because it's just one page and all the links seem to be working. Surely I could I get some critique on this project?
https://codepen.io/gaffa/pen/wddPxJ/
Perhaps you also give me some pointers on future layouts and font choices? Anyway tell me what you think.
I made this simple template in Blender tell me what you guys think
>>306973
Blend the colors more.
The gap between her hand and arm, make it the a color
client didn't want a fish in the logo and wanted it have to do more with the molecular part (even though he sent me pictures of fishes which are his experimental model)
thoughts?
>>307110
You'll need to fix the text of course, and lose the bold & - leave it regular.
Top looks better, but try without any white between the sperm head and black line that passes through it, it's creating tension.
The contrast between low detail egg and higher detail sperm is also a bit odd, try putting a bit more detail into the egg.
>>307036
Thanks!
Yeah that coffe stain is a plugin I used at the last minute without any real reason, it looks bad but I was to lazy to remove it.
As for the stamp I based the thing on a Zimbabwean birth document so I just imitated the structure. It does look redundant though. I'll fix some stuff and post a better version
>>307140
2 stamps could work, it's just that you have the exact same one twice which makes it redundant. The original document clearly has 2 different stamps.
There's also the fact that on the original, the second stamp doesn't go over any text. It seems like a very stupid idea to stamp over text to make it harder to read.
>>307142
>it's not the same stamp
welp I'm an idiot
Be honest anons, if you saw this in a portofolio, would you have any positive reaction ?
>>307173
No. Vectorizing an image is hardly impressive.
And if you actually made it by hand then it certainly is a feat of how much effort you can put into something that still doesn't look good.
Not to say it's horrible or anything, but it's not portfolio material by any stretch.
>>307175
>if you actually made it by hand then it certainly is a feat of how much effort you can put into something that still doesn't look good.
oh..ok ;_;
>>307175
What would look great in a portofolio with the purpose to show off your skills in Illustrator, in your opinion?
>>307177
I already said it's not horrible but it's not something I would look at and think "hey, that's nice" if I saw it in a portfolio.
Sort of like how you can love your 6 year old kid's silly crayon drawings and think they're cute and pretty but you know they're about as objectively "good" as a stick figure doodle in a scrapbook.
>>307178
Well I'm not an employer so I can't say I know what they look for, but if I was I would only be impressed by the amount of effort that went into it rather than the quality of the image itself. I wouldn't employ someone who spends a long time working on something that still doesn't look good.
If you want to show off your skills in Illustrator, vector illustrations are generally not a good way to do it.
>>307173
i think genndy tartovsky would be proud. In the world of illustration this is quite nice :)
>>307179
>vector illustrations are generally not a good way to do it
then what is ? that's what i am asking
>>307134
how about that
I'm planning to color and add effects later though, so hopefully it won't become a clusterfuck of colors
>>307195
oh nvm
I just reread your suggestion
>>307173
Ignore the salty anon.They're looking at it from a 'graphic artz' point of view instead of a style in illustration. I think it looks good on first inspection, but something seems wrong about it. I think your lighting is off, which is what looks not so good. Work on that.
>>307204
How am I salty because someone asked for my honest opinion and I gave him it?
>>307259
Illustration comes in all forms.
I didn't get the impression that you were open to the wider selection. Are you saying all vector illustration is shit? Because if so, that's pretty ridiculous imo.
I posted in last critique thread but 404'd before I got any better advice
>>307196
may just be me, but the first thing i think when i see that is "sperm in eye" not "sperm in egg"
Thoughts about this portfolio and CV design?
https://wordpress.com/post/ebarchblog.wordpress.com/586
>>307377
Feels pretty generic and lazy. Font doesn't mesh well with anything else and I don't like how the text goes outside of the circle, nor that it's partially transparent.
Judging by the filename, this is way too complex to be a logo.

lol, well put
client asked to make his logo look more professional actually changing it
does that work?
>>307675
What are you making it in, paint? Post the original cause those two are pretty awful
>>307675
it looks weird, the M has those perspective curves but the rest don't have any perspective, try to be consistent with the size the M is a little too big compared with the rest, it seems like there's 2 logos there, simplify the M and avoid color or gradients till the shapes look right, i also kinda like the ancient greek letters on the original one, perhaps look for an 'm' that fits better with the first two and leave the original E it looks better.
>>307685
>>307688
the original is the one on top, which I didn't make, actually.
I'm not a fan of the original design either, but the client just wanted the logo to look more modern without changing it too much.
also, the fish head is supposed to be an L.
the client likes it because the E looks like a electroforesis band and the M a DNA helix... and he works with fish.
>e ancient greek letters on the original one
w-what ancient greek letters?
>>307688
>it looks weird, the M has those perspective curves but the rest don't have any perspective
oh yes, I know exactly what you mean. I just couldn't think of anything, perhaps adding borders and whatnot.
>>307708
>w-what ancient greek letters?
particularly the E on the first one
perhaps do a bunch of iterations and show the client one with the letters GEM in a similar but consistent typeface
>>307675
absolutely unreadable
start over, use text + only 1 symbol

What the fuck is this
Looking for some feedback on my game logo redesigns.
The broken planet is the kind of background I'm probably going to ship with the logo.
I feel like I'm going in the right direction, but something is missing or off...
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
>>307880
Chunk the planet background, too complicated for a logo
Remove the barcode as well
I like E the most, but it reminds me of star trek
No idea what this game is though, so I don't know what to recommend.
>>307884
The broken planet is for the website and game splash. It's not part of the logo, but the logo should look good with it because they show up together in many places.
The game is a Roguelike Space Fleet Management Tactical Roleplaying Game. Like Faster than Light meets Path of Exile with fleet command (multiple ships instead of one).
Small variation.

>>307911
for the cock?
the ships add nothing but visual clutter to the logo since they are poorly defined and in such an awkward arrangement in the visual plane
>>307968
fluid -> flow
this just looks like a splatter, no flow, ruins the namesake
change the water to something that flows better or reduce the amount of splash

Do you have any suggestions to improve the logo?

What about this website/blog homepage design?
Another attempt at the FTC logo, from another direction.
>>308016
>What about this website/blog homepage design?
Italiano/10
What is it? Portfolio? It's functional, but there should be landing page information.
>>308025
This one is the best so far but I think you should move the text closer to the center, make the border around FTC smaller and make the border around the triangle ships a bit bigger.
I think you could try making the outline of the planet orange since right now the only orange thing is the trails coming out of the ships.
>>308026
I'm assuming you mean closer to the centre of the circle.
I experimented with some other colours.
>>308027
Yep.
#1 works best. You should stick with 2 tones but #6 is the best out of the colored ones.
>>308030
My friend likes #6 as well.
Is there a particular rule for only 2 tones in a logo?
>>308031
It just looks better. 2 colors lets you focus on what's important. It doesn't matter if you flip the two colors around, the most important elements remain prominent, in this case the ships and the acronym of the game's name.
>>308032
Thanks for the help.
/gd/ doesn't have a qtddtot post so I guess I'll ask here, but can anyone recommend some erotic color palettes? I'm making a logo for an adult brand and currently its black and white but I'd like to color it with a soft erotic color palette but I can't seem to get it right, do you guys have anything in mind?
>>308136
Well, you could use this site and click around a bit to make your own color scheme: https://coolors.co/

>>308179
poor bait
Just messing around making a picture for and of myself.
Which one is the best one?
also general critique
Learning vector stuff
Here's a card.
>>308250
I'm partial to 5 and 6. 5 looks neat and clean with a white background. It's not easy to see the outline of a face on that one though.
6 reminds me of VA-11 Hall-A with its light purple and blue color scheme.
The rest are just messy and don't look good. Too many colors and they all clash too hard (yes, I know it's meant to be CMYK.)
Can't really give it any more critique than that since you're just messing around.

But thanks anyway
>>306152
for food service badge, pls rate
left is my try at doing the right picture. right picture is screenshot from some game. How do i approach the next step. to make it look more 3D. Do i keep working on the "walls" and if so how. or should i add some doodads to further enhance 3d aspect?
>>308386
illustrator? not really sure but i was you i would rather instead of focusing on the entire thing at once i would start by building 'assets' or the small walls on the sides, for example i would spend a few mins working on a single wall (pic related) and then copy paste it a bunch of times making small changes or variations on each after that just join a few of the copies so there's some variation and two same copies don't get together (add a shadow to the first one copy), after that just play with the perspective by draging the base points.
also the shadows on the right pic seems different to yours he probably made a linear gradient on each angle/wall instead of one on the entire left wall.
if you want if you get stuck on some part or don't know how to do it leave a link for the project i wouldn't mind messing around with it.
>>306664
love this. if anything I'd say just play with some more background colors
>>308400
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately this is not illustrator as I'm still learning to use illustrator so I'm on "easy" tasks. This is done in photoshop and can upload project file so you can have a look at it, and maybe if you want, do half a wall or something segmented so i can have a look at the steps how to make it.

And make the beak rounded, so it matches with the rest of the body, and clean up some of the lines on the bottom at the bird's feet, if you look closer at it, the way they overlap looks off.

>>308644
the idea it's not that bad (asuming you didn't stole the native figure from google images) it just need to be retraced/remade, the paths on the indian figure look wavy and the feathers and hair look unprofessional/bad, the leaves could use more details and perhaps some dark shadows as well.
also the fonts choise are horrible, maybe just spend more time looking for references or look around for what similar companies are using.
A Mexican restaurant logo I'm working on, how does it look? What would you add to it?
>>308653
The grill doesn't make it very distinctive.
If you want to sell computers, do not put a computer in your logo; if you want to offer pizzas, don't put a pizza in your logo.
Your costumers will not have a special feature to remember your brand. That's why succesful brands use elements that are completely not related to the products/services they promote/offer.
Your design is not bad at all, but it's not really distinctive, but generic and plain. Think about something funny, special, different, fresh and cool to catch the attention of your target.
>>308653
I like everything but the grill
>>308653
just get rid of the grill and put "el" before "carbonero" and you're good

Do you guys like sushi?
>>308708
Pink is a bit unappetizing to me, but otherwise it looks nice.
>>307802
I know man
it's just that the client wanted it to be loyal to his old logo
pic related is my proposal, he rejected it
I really don't know what to do. seriously. he said he just wanted to modernize his logo but wanted it to look similar.
I'm thinking about writing LGEM in the shape of a fish.
He really wants the M to look like a DNA helix.
>>308738
keep the same logo but refine the type, make the thickness consistent and the m more legible
>>308708
maybe have the black for the seaweed and the word "sushi" match
>>308740
that looks really really nice, although I'm not completely sure it looks like an M. what do you think?
I believe the client still wants the fish element. I'm not sure how to put it without polluting the logo even more.
>>308747
aand another one
my mom asked me to whip this up. she's a chef and she's trying to get her business started
>>308749
first I read blacked and mom
then I realized it's baked and it is still hilarious
>>308749
please reconsider the business name
>>308749
Please come up with a better name on behalf of your mom.
>>308749
Unless that is some WEED commercial, and you are selling BAKED goods. Better change name senpai.
>>308749
how dis
>halp
I want to change the fonts, what fonts will be better?
>>307675
it works by you having a shitty client who doesnt really know what they want but feels like they need to spend money to keep relevant.
get out while you can.. unless youre charging by the hour in which case do their every bidding but dont get emotionally involved and watch while their own indecision bleeds them dry
>>307708
so he's trying to shoehorn in 3 completely different concepts... fucking retard.
lay down the law tell him ONE will suffice he obviously has no eye for design hence why he has hired you, a proffessional.
stop bending over and act like the knowlegeable consultant you are, school that bitch.
>>308747
keem the m from the top, and the E from the bottom - jobs a goodun.
if hes that pathetically into fish maybe a couple of circles at the top right to look like bubbles, just hint at the idea of water
did a thing
one-guy business making begleri (skill toy based on greek prayer beads which is a length of string with a big metal bead on each end) in vancouver - I must admit he requested a skyline with begleri as raindrops and this just instantly popped in - so not much concept work on my part but I feel like its some of the cleanest work ive done.
mostly a 4.5cm sticker design but also social media icon
proffessional crits?
>>308929
i really like this design, looks good! The only thing i can really put my finger on is the blue arch in the rain, i dont really see the purpose of it beeing there. Makes the big raindrops look like a headset kek.
I wanted to see what it was like if i replaced the arch with clouds insted so i made this
>>308952
or even this :)
>>308953
ooh I like that
but yeah sorry forgot to post context i guess if you dont know what they are it does look like a random arch
these are begleri

Has anyone ever heard of any "WhatsApp" scams? I got offered a gig online and the guy wants to discuss in detail over WhatsApp specifically. It sounds like a scam and I don't use WhatsApp so I want to know if there's a way to get information out of WhatsApp or if there's a this guys legit.
>>308975
WhatsApp is just a free instant messenger, no scams can be done across it that couldn't also be done through email desu
Don't know how i feel about this. I wanted to go for a dream feeling.
>>308983
Thanks
>>308975
its also good at being private with end-to-end encryption, id say youre being paranoid mate and need to get with the times not everyone wants to use emails all the time, mobile messengers are much better for a lot of peoples lifestyles (ie if they dont spend much time sat down, at a desk, in front of a computer)
It's for wearable LED electronics. Marketed towards ravers. Any suggestions

that's sick. what's the process like for illustration like this, do you actually trace?
I decided to make an image which represents Walter White's inner turmoil as he balanced his life between everyday father and meth kingpin. The frontal view represents his calm, collected self, while the profile view represents the sociopath inside of him trying to break free.
>>309119
>walt
put another picture of his profile in the right side (not the same one) and add a filter.
>>309118
thx m80
I usually use a reference image to keep proportions in check, but don't trace
Made a poster a while back

Critique? First logo I've made and want to make it better.
>>309150
are you adept with pencil illustration? sometimes I feel like my design skills are great on the computer, but i'm afraid to touch any digital illustration because my physical illustration skills are garbo
>>309308
I'm not a natural or talented at illustrating, but I force myself to do it because god knows why, maybe I hate myself. Who cares I'm going to die poor and alone regardless.
>>309318
I'm often told my illustrations are stiff and stale, I agree.

Brand new at design, pretty sure the thing I've got going on with the text is cliche. Thoughts?
Possible cover art for my bands next single. Designed to look like a British TV endboard from the 90's, PAL artifacts and the lot.
>>309405
apply the effect on the N aswell as the S and T.
change futura.
what is that image?
>>309406
The effect is actually already applied across the entire image. It's a chroma/luma glitch that doesn't seem to effect white as much as the red and blue, and, if you mean the background image, it's just a stock photo of some smoke which I'll probably change for the final version. If you just mean 'what is it', as I said, it's a cover design for an upcoming single by my band, very 90's inspired.
>>309409
ok? so make it more intense on the N. i don't really care how it works tbqh mate
the smoke i meant, which doesn't fit the theme of the piece very well.
Latest dumbass illustration depicting my first time trying acid (true story too). I'm actually really proud of this one, took me a fuckton of time by my standards.
Critiques? Not pro by any standards.
>>309435
I think objectively it looks good, but is kind of a silly image. I don't know what you were going for, but certain aspects are unsettling.
>>306664
dank af
>>309418
>>309529
Cocked up and posted without writing. I beg to differ about the smoke, it's based pretty heavily on this style of graphics from London Weekend Television in the 90's. Lots of smoke effect backgrounds.
>>309530
ye, cos in that case the smoke acts like a graphic element with movement and direction, and has little to no detail
in your case it is so detailed that it looks like something else, so it draws attention, doesn't provide any movement, etc.
why are you arguing when you can clearly see that uses the smoke in a drastically different way? all images of smoke aren't equal on the page you fucking idiot
>>309537
Point taken, cunt. I'll go back to it over the weekend.
>>309539
sorry babe im in a bad mood keep it up you're doing more than most people

Recently got into gd and wanted to know if you think there's any hope for me
This is something I made for a local football team
Their mascot is some bird
>>309643
Yes, no matter how shit you are now, there is hope for you if you keep at it.
Your logo has a lot of problems, but logo design is the hardest part of /gd/ I reckon, so keep at it, faggot.
>>309645
thanks for the advice anon, but how should I go about practicing?
>>309661
Start by not using auto-trace, or the magic wand, or whatever other fucked up imprecise method you used on the wings.
>>309664
so I should just work on making what I've started better? rather than starting new things?
and yeah It was magic wand. would eraser be better for getting rid of weird edges?
Should i add more to this piece?
>>309009
>>308983
…you should also be aware that WhatsApp is very popular in some countries that tend to have very cheap clients. If there are several projects I want to take on and one of them asks for WhatsApp, I de-prioritize that one significantly because it's probably some Indian guy who wants me to work a miracle for $50.

B looks so fucking awesome. If the white line was curved correctly with the butthole of the > in F, it would be a logo I would use.
>>308027

love this
I'd try a slightly heavier weight font
I was fucking around on the album art thread and made this, how is this?
These are 8x3 inch stickers that are going be vinyl cut. I'm looking to include them whenever someone buys anything from my sticker shop.
Which of these looks "good" ?
>>306304
the bomb! psychosis conveyed into work - the right way!
>>309824
none of them, but the ones on the left hand side look especially bad.
why are you drawing so much attention to the C/k? This makes me shift my pronunciation from "wicked" to "wick't" for no good reason. Are you a candle seller, too?
This also reminds me too much of islam or even the moon/planet-shit (which you're obviously not going for).
For a new type of game development software.
Did everything the 'client' wanted me to do. Why is it stale? Bad colors, layout shapes? All? [for school badges, transportation and food service here with school colors]
>>309912
I would say simplify the shapes, mostly the tail and wing. And scoot the type over. But i'm no expert.
>>309912
the font seems stretched
but I like the bird. get rid of the feather detail on the wing, it's pointless
alternative
>>306309
how did you achieve this effect
This is my first logo I have designed. It is for my freelance business. Be harsh.
>>308010
>>310159
Oh boy.
Your initials are a good (although somewhat unoriginal) use of negative space. However, the top and bottom edges of the C do not line up with the half-ring outside the D.
I also think your colors are shit. Option one is to stick to one color (and a second "dark background" color), such as that green you've got. Option two is to pick one of the foreground colors and change it radically, to something bluish or yellowish. Anything that's not just a slighly different shade of shit-green.
The underline coming out of the capital letters works well for the C, but not for the D. Separate the D and the underline, or get rid of the underline under Designs completely. I also get that you're trying to stay consistent with the logo when it comes to the outline around the text, but it looks like ass.
Now, for the less straightforward changes. The C and D take up much less space in your logo than they ought to, based on their importance. My suggestion is something like [pic attached].'
I would do away completely with the logo's outline, as well.
>>310165
Thanks for the feedback, it's really useful.
>>310159
Stroke is shit
D shouldn't intersect underline like that
Logo looks more like a misaligned accident than a deliberate attempt at something.
Color palette is vomit
>>310173
could at least try to help? shit, /gd/ is worse than i thought
Is this readable, not getting too abstract?
>>310016
I don't think it's too bad, I personally would go for some sort of 3D finish instead of flat, because it's supposed to resemble a shield. Nothing too fancy.
>>310201
lilitu? perfectly readable mate
>>310258
Thanks, good to know.
Made this for a clothes brand. Worried the inspiration from the CDG logo shows through too much, but I don't know how to make that less apparent while preserving the style, so specific solutions to that issue would be appreciated, though anything is appreciated.
>>310574
Forgot to mention, I've been considering using the crown as a standalone logo and using the eyes for only some designs if that would look better.
is it alright? I know the earth looks like shit for sure but is anything else off
>>310789
Reminds me of Touhou.
Water could use some more dark tones
>>309435
wow I never cringed so hard
>>308774
i hate the shitty grain on the background
>>310790
i've never played touhou so i wouldn't know, but i think you're right and the water could use some darker tones
After spending plenty of time in Illustrator making art that you guys said it's shit, i decided to give photoshop a go..i made this today, r8
>>310789
Drop the gradient from the earth.
The perspectives of the lily pad and flower are too different.
>>310815
thanks for the feedback, i think it would look better if the lilypad was flat like the flower and the ripple was coming from under it
oh yeah i got a general idea of how to make the earth not look like shit, basically drop the gradient like you said but make it look sorta glossy, i think that would unshitify it

either make it more abstract or more realistic.
>>310822
love the pale yellow line in the left. maybe make the text blend a bit more (transparency, color bloom, scanlines, etc.)
>>310574
>>310576
crowns are pretty overdone in streetwear so do something distinguishing with it. style has potential, maybe make it even more sketch-like. also don't squeeze the text so much, leave it some space. the "BP" are really awkward.
>>310901
oh god, this is embarrassing. here's a normal-sized version
