poor spacing
no story
bad attempt at a 5 yr old technique

You really need to work on the details more - it's where the strength in these types of graphics come from.
First off, as v5 says - there needs to be a story - some narrative or purpose to define the form of the graphic you're creating.
Secondly - the details! you've got rounded edges against sharp ones, non-uniform spacing between elements, curves not fitting into each other - it's all over the place.
Id I were you, I'd try a simpler version with far fewer elements all of which are absolutely hard-aligned to a grid.
Set yourself some rules - eg. elements x, y & z can be spaced 10px apart, whilst elements a,b & c can be 5px apart - no more, no less.
Also, despite the length of this response, asking for a crit for a single graphic is stupid!

the rounded corners butting up to sharp corners isn't good. everything Nairn said is good advice. It's kind of an old look already, but if you lay it out right it, it will look great.

Thanks 4 your opinions, although I´m not looking for precision. Actually it´s based on collage I made. Maybe I should exagerate these graphic details..

yeah Antonelli's right, those shapes are suggestive of something none of us want to see except perhaps dinky.
This is totally opinion and not to be taken as anything more, but after years of use I've come to believe that DIN is a bit childish and clunky in its shapes. THere are much better, more refined sans faces, even some that hold a vernacular appeal similar to DIN. Just my 2¢.

(Jul 5 07, 12:49)haha. I was merely pointing out the astuteness of Antonelli's observation.

(Jul 5 07, 11:40)if you're not looking for precision i would recommend changing the style a bit. the borders, line and colouring you're using implies that you're attempting a clean, tight design so maybe that's throwing us all off

you probably already know your work is similar to this branding scheme.

as to your response that you don't care about the details in this design; you're fooling yourself if you don't think details matter. it's no punk rock design you've got going here, sloppiness isn't helping you with this style. and if you don't care, someone else (the hand that feeds) does.

who the fuck cares what you see neonbeige? surely not me.
reread the post, especially the title.
- neonbeige0
geez! i just hate mean spirited posts...especially when someone is asking for a design crit...i know his header had the word "insults" in it, but I just don't think that kind of response is inducive to a creative and inspiring discussion.

don't heed v5. He's an angry dude who probably smokes more weed than you.

what's smoking weed got to do with it, my Christian friend?
