new logo tweaked

[Extreme Graffix]

tweaked again

Tried something different any thoughts,

 

[thesignguy1986]

I like it but it's my type of look. Either way it's all up to you if your happy with it or not. I defintally like the solid black 100 times better then the gradient look you had.

 

[Extreme Graffix]

Yeah i like it, its different than what u see.I try it and see.

Here's a couple of simple ideas from Corel I made in 5 minutes.

..........and I'm the Easter bunny.

 

[thesignguy1986]

What are you doubting the 5 minutes? lol. No seriously no more then 5 minutes a piece in Corel. I already had the clipart so what's hard to believe. Finally though I know the Easter Bunny.

Think you could throw in a few more Reese's Eggs in my basket now on?

Thank you. While I don't have much creative input tonight, I can say that the green guy is not part of your logo, but an accent to an advertisement piece.
Your logo needs to stand on its own, and be more prevalent than a green character. imo

I agree with Z. It looks like an advertisement. The logo needs to be a single design element. The light bulb takes away from that logo element. I would drop the bulb.

 

[thesignguy1986]

After looking at it myself and even drawing the original sample with the light bulb I have to agree w/ Actual and Z that the light bulb probably is more of an advertisement look. Though I personally like it, dropping the bulb would deftintally look good on 2nd thought.

still stuck

After studying it and trying it with a few things it would look good for a sales flyer but not as a logo.I have a start but i really need something to set it off.I hate this when i am stuck trying to fix my own stuff.

I'm actually thinking you were not too far off with the first one. If you changed the font for "concepts" to something with more weight & changed the "signs & graphics" to upper/lower case and us the rapier font you have for "Visual", I think it might help.

Here's the suggestions again that I posted in your other thread.
Glad you lost the shiney lightbulb and the chrome stuff.
Start in black and white and then tart it up. But not too tarty.
It would be a nightmare to reproduce in embroidery or cut vynull, I'm thinking.
I don't care for the arch in CONCEPTS because there is nothing to fill that hole.
And Moody, that looks really retro and rich.

hehe, why sign guys should stick to producing signs.

My thoughts exactly. I'm a sign shop, not a damn ad agency.

Try using the first design you put up using these changes:

1. Change the CONCEPT word to a heavy San Serif font.

2. Keep the dividing lines the same except make them a bit heavier.

3. Use the same font for SIGNS & GRAPHICS as you use for CONCEPT. The more different fonts you use in a graphic, the more odd it looks.

4. Try using a negative on SIGN & GRAPHICS

A good designer understands to let the client be it's guide. Fiddle all you want but at the end of the day let the client be your guide. Of course that assumes you want to get paid.

Day sign, how did you get the split blended shadow on visual concepts? It looks really cool.

Extreme graphics, it's getting better.

It's in the extrude section in corel sometimes you need to break apart the extruded portion from the letters,create a new shape around the 2 objects,change the shade to a bitmap add a blur and power clip the shade.It can all be done in corel.
