  okay, first please note that I did not make this logo. my client came to me with it and i told them about 1,000,000 reasons why it’s a bad logo and they don’t seem to get it. i thought i could get some more reasons from you designer geniuses  so go ahead and give me your top 3 reasons why this logo sucks!

  not that bad but I personally dont like it. But stewart is right could be a very easy re-design.

  it speaks to me of new york on a cold winters day, looking across a glass flat east river and imagining the fun to be had in the city itself.

  1.- Gadient
  2.- ALl the detail would get lost at small sizes
  3.- Detail could suck at 72dpi aT particular sizes
  4.- Font does not work too well with the shape
  5.- Font has quite a bit of details to be mixed with the shape and both combined created so much noise.
  6.- Hard to read.

  I'm guessing they don't want to change it because they invested time and money into it. Regardless of how much of either, that weighs into decisions.

  Just work with it, that's a better/bigger challenge than to design a new logo that would fit within your personal aesthetic.

  It may be my OCDs but I'd have to use 0dB as the baseline.

  Also there's something freaky about using waveforms alongside text, like it stifles immediate recognition because you're forced to look at it in two dimensions? Fuck knows...

  Jem Finer represents all his waveforms for the piece Longplayer as loops in the book that accompanies the LP.
