Basic logo for a local news portal. Concept - selected text in word processor. The black selection blob can be colorcoded according to site section.
Do you think it fits a news site? Do you like it? I need your feedback!
Thanks

can you explain the concept behind it?

^^ concept - the blob looks like text selection box in a word processor and it should remind people of writing (news, information, journalism etc.).

Serres is the city name here in Greece, portal will feature news about that city and Greece in general.

generic, it is okay.

i'm not feeling it to be honest.
the .gr looks like an after thought.
I like the idea of text looking like it's been selected, but even if that is the idea, that's not really coming across.
and the thin blue line?
- pauliusuza0
any suggestions?

it's crap. but that's just my opinion. it's just generic type, not real thought and elements like the jutting line out the left side of the box look like a mistake to me. the type needs serious work - it's called kerning or letterspacing and is important. for a logo you can't simply type out the text and let it automatically fall where it does.
also, a logo doesn't need a concept explained to anyone except the client when you pitch it. it's visual communication. if it doesn't communicate it's message then it's failed. or the audience are fucking idiots. usually the later.
- I agree about the type, however it's a news site, posting mostly about politics, economics, etc. How web 2.0 can you go with the logo?pauliusuza
- what's web 2.0 got to do with it?airey
- the portal will be html5, ajax powered, lots of interactivity, etc. However the client wants to keep the brand dead seriouspauliusuza
- and i agree with them but that has no baring on opinions about your logo.airey
- go back through old / established news papers and get some reference from them.airey
- k, thankspauliusuza

It does have the news feeling but as others have said it lacks personality. For some reason I feel I've seen this "part of the text in a box" concept used many times on similar logos. Another issue is that the gr will not be readable at a small size.
- and unless the insertion box is blinking it doesn't convey that idea immediately.airey
- Selection box does not blink, only the vertical 1px markerpauliusuza
- i was thinking more the oldschool basic and coding days. realistically the insertion doesn't blink in many apps these days.airey

fix or re-think?
- rethink. put that to the side as the start of an idea to perhaps come back to.airey

I like it. The concept is there, just the rest of the mark needs some attention I think to make it more obvious overall.
