I have been wanting to change my logo and today I actually had some time to sit down and work something out. I wanted it Readable and somewhat simple. I decided to use the pen tool and anchor points as a symbol except with my own touch on it. Although the anchor points probably won't be seen if the logo is brought down to a smaller size so I may leave those out. I also wanted something that Could be converted to grayscale or even a silhouette and still keep the character and readability and this seemed to have that. Can I get some Opinions on the direction ive chosen for this logo? Your feedback is appriciated. Thank You
Well to begin with, why is it that people start out with an illustration with ALL the custom colors and special effects, then go about removing elements until
perhaps the final artwork is going to work??
You have removed at least 4 different elements, changed the color several times, and slowly have backed your way into the place where you should have started in the first place.
You mentioned that "I also wanted something that Could be converted to grayscale or even a silhouette and still keep the character and readability and this seemed to have that."
If you followed conventional wisdom and the recommendations made here numerous times in the past, you start from a rough pencil sketch, and work towards a black and white final comp. THEN you add colors and effects, ONLY IF the original artwork will stand on its' own merits.
The current rendition of your logo evolution is coming together, but still needs something. What that might be I don't have a clue, because you have not defined what you do exactly, nor who your audience is.
Only you can explain what you want to accomplish by making the proposed change to your current logo.
