Why is every letter in Edgar Kerned together apart from the r?

Look how r loses its' distinctiviness otherwise

Or you know, kern everything the same?

Doesn't look better

>>307665
i'm sure there's a known joke or meme about that
>>307666
Looks better to me

Can you do the new version in the same palette so we have a fair comparison

it looks uninspiring for someone who is supposed to be creative, did you made some sketches first or you just went straight to the pc? also the typeface looks kinda odd (like you took an existing font and remove some edge points), the long shadow is overused and the motto doesn't seem to add anything to the logo.

+1

Thanks for the opinion. You are absolutely right. I'll try to sketch, even though it's not my strong point.

"e" emblem looks like Blogspot logo

>>307681
My first thought as well; the solid-drop-shadow look is EXTREMELY tired and uninspired. I actually really like your font/color choice for "edgar" but think literally everything else you've presented can go

>>307684
I knew that using long shadow may be controversial and i know that it is overused, though it is the first time i used it ever, so it was more of a test. Thanks for your opinion, i'm trying more stuff now and will post it when i get somewhere with it. I also like these colors, but they do remind me of something else, like i've seen it milion times before.

Hey there. So i did some more work and here's what i came up with.
Here's how i thought while designing this:
- Orange and green color palette is a reference to oranges, because "nothing rhymes with orange" is an inspiration for my name.
- That green leaf is actually a stress sign. I pointed it out, because people tried to rhyme my name not realizing, that the first syllable is "under stress". That's the reason it doesn't rhyme so well with words like "star", "car" etc.
- E is combined with cyrillic letter Э, because russian is my mother tongue and i like the letter a lot. It makes exact sound you should make when pronouncing "edgar".

I think this version looks more unique and also has some character.

Tell me what you think, all kinds of feedback are welcome.

too much stuff going on here
get rid of the Э because it's useless

Bruh...

>>308272
Why do you think so? i don't agree

>>308281
Yeah, associations with this satan's work is one of the biggest drawbacks of my design. I'll try to tweak it to lose some similiarities.

>>308263

The negative space of the "e" jumped out at me looking like a pair of pliers, which would be perfect if your company made orange tools.

if you're going with Э, then try pic related

you "quirky" catchphrase is shit and makes things overly complicated, don't use it

>>308286
lmfao cant unsee.
>>308287
OP's gotta scap it now. Pliers too stronk.

>>307659
>Asks for advice

>>308284
>Doesn't take it


Your second rendition looks even worse OP.
If you are starting freelancing or your own design business you have to be better than that. and you gotta be good enough to know that your stupid catchphrase isn't going to work.

Lose the font man. Make a new one. It's not an original one at all. Not sure if you're trolling with your designs lol ;
:D

Still looks like the tinder logo. How am I the only one to see it?

question sort of related to thread:

do you need a logo for yourself? does it have to be your name?

If you're planning to do freelance stuff it's better to have it than not have it, for the sake of recognition and giving a good focal point for your portfolio websight. Even if you're trying to get a job in an agency, it's a nice thing to show your potential employers (that you're at least competent enough to make a logo for yourself). No, pic related, mine is just the first letter of my name, but you can have your full name, a dildo or whatever.

>>308332
you aren't. but you already said it and redundancy isn't something designers do so we aren't repeating it.

>>307666
It's definitely better when they're the same.
