skt - I had thought about a reverse of the logo with the arrows pointing out but didn't like it quite as much. Let me dig that up. ;)

ShareOne
Larger type
Less Contrast between the 2 words
Alternate font that has more gravitas?

aggregation: arrows in.
propagation: arrows out.with a bit of refinement it would be a nice shape, but like dancer says, what it communicates is king, not what it looks like.

Hey Skittles, you should perhaps stick with your crop-circle threads and rounded logos.

Yawn. Thx.

you're letters seem real spaced out and therefore don't conceptually work. Looks like from the mark you are trying to suggest a coming together. Then spacey type contradicts that idea.

Jour, I have to point this out, if you think you are surrounded by lesser souls, why hang out here? Your lack of understanding about the base importance of critique is telling, a good designer knows how to ACT on critique despite it's perfection or wisdom and willingly questions their own decisions in favor of a better solution
Yawn, put me in the pile, you just landed in ours.

In terms of the logo, sothere is on the right track. Tighten the kerning on "share" to more closely match "one", and you will be be on the right track. I would also consider the comparative scale of your elements a bit, print it real small and see how well each element stand up to the other.

haha I love how this thread turned into a fight between so many different people.
As for the logo, I had a positive impression upon first seeing it, but now that I read all the responses I'm not feeling so great about it.

Can you expand on that? Specific crits are usually preferred. Simply slamming something doesn't really help the designer.
– luckyorphanIts not slamming. If someone cant design, how can you teach them? Designing is not about just teaching, its about talent. Regardless of what you tell them, if they dont have the eye, its just not going to work. If you try to teach someone who has not talent, he/she only becomes a mimic.

< Sharp critique makes sharp designers.
– Scotch_RomanI disagree. If that was the case, everyone would be a great designer. There is a difference between being design aware versus being able to design something new.
- First of all, being able to critique and accept critique professionally is paramount. Second of all, show us your work.baseline_shift
- Yeah, I have to say, your lack of understanding in terms of the base nature of critique, it's quite telling.NONEIS
- A good designer knows how to ACT on good critique!NONEIS

Quit being a fuckhead and at least shoot us a link to your portfolio where you exercise the massive well of talent you so apparently are vested with.
- Scotch_Roman0
Now you're just picking apart my words. Of course talent is the necessary ingredient from the start, and talent can't be taught. Granted. All I was saying is that designers with at least the germ of talent can be greatly improved by sharp yet constructive critique. The better a designer can be at accepting critique, the more they'll be able to judge their own work with a critical eye, and thus grow in their abilities.
I was agreeing with you.

Hold the fucking press the "Mac Daddy of design" has just entered the room.

- JourNYC0
I am sorry, I didnt ask for my work to be judged on public forum.
Thanks for the fuckhead comment, I bet you are a great designer who has a great future. Thanks Derek Kapa. Will put you in to never hire this kid pile. Come back and crit when you have some experience. Not just fresh out of school. Good luck!
- hahaha! Am i in the 'probably hire that kid' pile? Where do you work?baseline_shift
- Meh, hide behind anonymity then. It's where people like you belong.d_rek
