Thoughts on my logo? Thoughts on the name?

[John Butto]

the word original

You are correct, I did not draw the dog, it was picked from about 30 other dogs, which I paid for. Nor did I create the font (also bought). I looked at a lot of fonts and found one I thought fit the look I was going for.

In my opinion or my definition, as of now anyways, (I'm open for change) I would still call this original. It is a collaboration of items that I picked and grouped to form the logo. I am proud of it.

The dog is just one element of the design, the font is another element, together they form the logo. You didn't say anything about the font. Does everyone create there own fonts when designing a logo, I'm asking because I don't know?

If I apply your definition to other to other forms of art, such as landscape design or installation art, it would be saying that their work is not original. Most likely the plants would be bought as items in the installation artists work also.

This is is my opinion, thanks for the feedback!

They say that argument is an art form and after being married for 40 years I would say that it does not deal in originality.
With your analogy on landscape design you could say that the paint or pencil being used to produce art would not make it original.
I knew that you did not draw the dog, I can see from your talent in laying that logo out you did not possess that ability. I am not judging you for that, just an observation. Really do not care if you copied it, copied the idea, copied the font or anything to do the word original. Just do not go ruffling up your feathers in the barnyard over a word or how you intrepid thoughts because I am of the same gender and it is not mating season for me. Look for a pen pal in another coop.

You do realize that's the exact same argument people give to you when you tell them their layout is bad, right?

First of all, I didn't say a single word about your business card. You might have been at this longer than me, but apparently I spent more time in English class learning the word "Comprehension". I didn't say your card was good, bad, indifferent, or anything about it. What you're doing is projecting the argument onto me, trying to make me look like someone that doesn't deserve to speak.

Being at something longer than someone doesn't meant Sh&% to me. I've been around people that have been in a trade for 40 years and I could do things they never dreamed of. Some of them were the dumbest people I ever met, so sorry, time is not equal to qualification. You may or may not be qualified. Again, I didn't say you were or you weren't.

I simply (according to me), said that you have been known to tell someone their layout was horrible. When you do, they often tell you they don't care about your opinion because you mean nothing to them. That seems to be the exact same thing you said when others did the same to you.

Learn to comprehend what people say instead of trying to accuse everyone of things they didn't say.

 

[OldPaint]

oh.......gee sorry to have offended ya.......NOT)))))))))))) and their is nothing wrong with my comprehension capability........NOW YOU...... iam not sure of....heheheheheheheheheheehe
this was who i was addressing.........
"Hey, OldPaint. 1972 wants it's design back.

Maybe you should try a more classic approach and utilize some negative space. It's not just for road signs in passing." seems you got in the middle of this......from your adding
You do realize that's the exact same argument people give to you when you tell them their layout is bad, right? and i cant take that as saying my business card is bad?
as for English, I also attended PENN STATE........in the day when you TYPED on a type writer......so dont even go there.....tellin me about english, and translate this........lo ce entos))))))))))

This is where it came from.....

wow OP that's a hot mess.


now back o topic, why blue dog? is it a political statement? a blue dog is a conservative democrat. are you or do you have a dog that is blue? always wonder when I see a name the whys behind it.

This was on the door of my chicken coop, and is where the blue dog name came from, it was painted blue to match the trim on the coop! It is a chicken, not a dog, but that's how I came up with it! It has no meaning, just thought it was cool name! Funny that someone refered to a "coop" and "feathers" in their reply!

 

[OldPaint]

Your right....

 

[J Hill Designs]

and there is nothing wrong with my comprehension capability

<words and parentheses>

You're right....

fixed that for ya, english major

This would have been better suited for you then. My artwork and somebody's fonts, so it is not an original.

I think OP has posted in the past that he was an art major in the State Pen not Penn State, but I could be mistaken.......

just dont ask to see his costume!

 

[CES020]

If that's the level of English and writing skills you get from Penn State, I'd be asking for a refund.

I think OP just reads what he wants in whatever anyone says and then goes off like they actually said what he wanted them to have said.

OP, here's a test for you. Show me in this thread where I said a single thing (typed by me) about your business card design. Oh, that's right, you can't. If you can't, then that means, in the real world, that I didn't actually say anything about your design.

Don't like it.
Lacks creativity and originality if your are veering away from a geographical theme.
Blue dog logo didn't even have any blue in it.
Tell the truth...you found a domain available that seemed like a good one for branding?

 

[Signmaker1234]
