logo design wants relentless critique! thanks

[jeroentje]

You want comments? Okay... you get comments:

* There is too much to see here. This is not a logo but an illustration. Too much detail also. It's too complicated for a logo design.
* I have no idea what I am looking at. I don't understand what you have drawn, and I don't understand what the point of that illustration is. I do understand after reading your text, and you're searching in the right direction IMO. But that's not the point. A logo must be a clear message at first sight.
* A logo must be usable at all sizes and your text is too small. It is also so much compressed that it gets unreadble.

Hm.. you asked for relentless critique... :shrug:
Cheers, Jeroen
btw, you can do 2 things now:
1. hate me.
2. take notice, work on it, and post an update. I promise you your logo will look a lot better after that.

jeroentje,

What I hate is nobody gives me comments for a long time. ;) I am so grateful to you for your critique. I admit that's not a successful logo. I agree with all your points. Nothing else I should do now except for continuing working on it.

I am trying to play with the combination of the three characters . A. P. S. for a new design.What do you think?

Do you know some logo design resource where I can study and get some inspiration?

Thanks so much for your conern. :wavey:

Cheers, zy

I know how you feel, spray. I usually think of "no comments" as the worst form of criticism, especially on a popular forum like this.
When I decide to show my work here, I am prepared for any criticisms, even the "no comment" crit :p

Keep it up, never give up, and always try to improve yourself.

Here's some link you may find useful on logo design

I was going to say basically the same thing jeroentje said. When I do any logo work I try to keep it very simple in design. Use basic shapes to convey your meaning, colors that enhance rather than conflict and text that's easy to read from across the room.

That's it really. The more complex you make the logo, the harder it is for people to read. Think about someone viewing your logo on a billboard or something while travelling on the freeway at 75mph. Can they understand every element of the design with only about 1-2 seconds of viewing time?

Then have the three bands draw out those letters with the arrow at the end of each path. BAM! instant logo ;-)

ah to further harshen jeroentjes comments

you only did 1 logo!
wheres the rest?

or is this the only thing u created?
multiple solutions for what? a vertex?
im really dumb: i dunno what a vertex is

and make the text really big
use 2 colours at most (u can alwas add more but less is very hard)

you could use a portion of your logo as a logo.
i simplified and modified it, i have no idea what the logo
is for but sometimes its good to illustrate the company main features so you dont have to add the text everytime you post it.
