I'm sorry this is supposed to represent something?

All I see really is two random shapes, text that really, really, doesn't go together,
and probably one of the most cliche mottos there are.

Even for a concept it's nice to have a direction to try and steer towards,
this all just looks very random.

It's quite clear that you haven't had much experience in logo design buddy.

You see, every designer has a meticulous eye for seeing messages being delivered in a logo (your experience as a designer is conveyed very clear here).

The two 'random shapes' represent arrows that materialize the message being delivered in this design, being that the business aims to move forward and overall aim for positive outcomes in its existence. Every designer I have showed this too have acknowledged this.

The text, in my and alot of others opinion, blends well with the white background and the red text. One particular designer who specializes in Brandmark design said that he likes the red to black to grey layout of the font colours and that it contrasts with the underlined 'Company Inc' very well.

I also forgot to mention that this was a template for a project I'm working on in University, so the motto, I agree is cliche, was given to me as a starting point in which I could then institute my own 'motto' or 'slogan'.

I appreciate the not so much constructive criticism, but maybe its better to stick to the more simpler things first, as this clearly was only appreciated by top notch designers, unlike yourself.

I had no idea the shapes represented arrows until you mentioned it.
I thought they were some kind of corner or something...

Chi is right, the fonts don't really mix well, between the 3.
But I do like the red and gray colors.
It might look best if you remove the Company Inc part, and just have the title and slogan.

While Chi doesn't generally do logos too often, he's still decently experienced and respected here.
His feedback is just as valuable as any.


Thanks for the feedback, and I agree, the fonts I have changed and I have removed Company Inc. completely. I can show you the new and improved design if you would like?

First things first, since you're trying to tell me those are arrows, those are some of the shittiest arrows I've seen in my life.

Second if you want to try and say something about my experience as a designer, I suggest you take a look at my work, along with the people I've worked with throughout the YEARS. You're cleary trying to defend yourself desperately by saying this.

You're brandmark friend should probably find another path, because if he thinks a bold red text, goes with an underlined black, and grey under that, all in different styles, he must not be very recognizable. Let me tell you, along with many others, it looks like garbage. They are not aligned, they are all different styles, BLEH. Did you even try?

It's cool that you're attempting this project for your college, but it seems you're not the man for the job. At all. God forbid they give you feedback on it.

I used to do logo work, made a lot of money doing so (try digging through some of my posts you'll find some). The thing is I found it incredibly boring, uncreative, and just a way to make easy money. It's boring, doesn't allow me to show my style, and be me.

So please don't bore me with that noise.

You know nothing about experice or creativity.
The majority of your designs are glance work, but get boring after a minute.
Don't bring up experience or skill level, when you have no right to bring that sort of thing up.

Have fun with your project, and trying to convince yourself you are a half decent designer.
You can't give feedback,
You can't recieve feedback,
You're a dead end.

Thanks for letting me practice my phone typing skills aswell, that was fun.

Carry on now,
-Chi


Well, for first, if you're basing the overall design on two arrows that were created by someone who rarely uses the pen tool, then I'm sorry to say but you're just dull-witted.

Secondly, in my opinion, your work is garbage. Some designs I have found to be just dull and amateurish, which would make sense considering your that was your approach to my design.

As I said, this was a draft or a template. The University gave me 60% of the stuff to work with, including the colours, which had to be red black and grey. So I wasn't really working with much. My Brandmark friend is also, just for the record, a highly skilled, professional and qualified designer, who, as I said, specializes in Brandmark design and logo design. If you had also read my original post, I said that I had showed this design to multiple designers, who said that it was excellent, considering the amount of choice I was left to work with in the assignment, so to answer your question, yes, I did try.

And true, I must not be the man for the job. I mean anyone with an RSA Student Design award, The Graphic Design Award by Yamaha (GDAY) and several A*'s in A level Design and media clearly isn't skilled enough to create a simple, 3 colour based business logo.

Logo design being 'boring' is your opinion, and you're entitled to that. But saying that it doesn't allow you to be creative and be yourself is just stupid. It is one of the most creative types of Graphic Design out there, many others would also agree.

Let me teach you a little lesson aswell, don't dare post anything on anyone's design, stating that they know nothing about experience or creativity. That has got to be one of the most mindless and moronic things I have ever heard. God forbid anyone that has the 'pleasure' of coming across you in their career.

One more thing, anyone, and I mean anyone (and this goes for outside the bracket of Graphic Design) can give feedback and take feedback. You are obviously a very narrow minded idiot. Saying that I am a dead end is also untruthful, but I wont enlighten you with the mass range of logo's and designs I have created and have been used by big brands and names, because you obviously aren't at that level.

So to conclude that hideous attempt of a reply, thanks for enlightening me with your opinion , I be sure to try and gain the ability to 'give and take feedback' lol,

Have a very boring day:)

I Have to agree with Chi, but I am going to make this short and sweet from what I have learned from my design courses. and I quote

"If you need to explain a logo to someone, you didn't do a good job."

This can be easily applied to this conversation.

I think its great! Look at Nike and other popular brands they all have one thing in common, They are simple! Which means easy to remember and stay in the mind longer than complicated ones.
