So uhm everything is pretty similar i know, i already sorted out some other stuff , anyways ...
What do you guys think ?
Its my second logo for real life use ( means i should theoricaly get paid , but i aint , because i graduated in multimedia design already 5 months ago and i still cant find a job and people hire me for free , i make all the shit they want to keep me busy , i hate that , but its better than nothing , i dont really have choice :( , well , i could go sell some hamburgers... at least i would get some $... sigh )I wouldnt call my company flash solutions but err anyways , its a studio that makes print , cd , web , hosting , softwares ... I also made a logo for one of their client , http://www.louno.com/exact/ ...
Thanks.

i agree with you on the first.
on the second, i like 2.1 but it may be a bit too "out there" for some people.

That's a nice f®©king mark (the light bulb)...hats off to yer.
...aint too keen on the typeface for the wording 'flash solutions'.
It's too bold, and maybe keep it one colour as it takes away from the lightbulb.Great work!

anyways, nice work

oups i forgot to say the logo for Exact ( the second one ) they already accepted it it was the 5.0 and 2.1 that they accepted i only had to make some slight adjustement and i didnt update the swf... they are happy with it.

1.1
1.2
are the best as far as the logo goes, but I'm not too fond of the typeface either

thanks , well uhm , I tried many different fonts , hmm but i kept coming back to this one , any suggestion
- Bluejam0
You still need a sans serif, dare i say it, helvetica? Or a typeface with some roundedness to it...
...ideally, something with less weight (roman or light) so as to add importance to the mark (light bulb) rather than the other way round (as you have at the moment). You could even experiment with italic-ing either word to add emphasis (try 'flash').
You are almost there, just change the weight.

Alright , thanks , give it another look , i changed font for Lucidia , much thiner , it looks alot better on the horizontal version of the logo , but im not so sure about the horizontal version ... anyways ... which one is best ... lol i made too many now i dont know which to chose ... http://www.louno.com/flashsoluti… ( go to the end to see the different font )
- Louno0
so? :)

I like the mark. I think you need to make the globe of the bulb rounder though. it could be a footprint or a baseball bat or an exclamation mark.
the type's not there yet.

logo 1: what about a VAG rounded bold instead of the typeface you are using now?
- Tephlon0
The Lucida is a lot better.
I think it needs a light typeface but one with a bit of flair in it. You could custimize the font a bit, maybe add a rounded of corner or a small serif?
(To make it go a bit more with the looseness of the lightbulb)
By the way: they should give you at least a bit of money for doing work for them. If they are a startup just tell them they can pay you from their first job. It could be as little as $100,- Just so you feel appreciated.
You are doing a great job, even giving them 10 versions...!You are even designing a logo for a client of theirs...! They get paid for that, right?

Thanks , yes i changed the font from the " exact" logo for a Arial Rounded version its much better , but as i said that swf isnt the final version it was just to give an ideal ...
and thanks tephlon , ure right im going to try to make the font a little bit more customized ... Do you like the horizontal or vertical version more ? i think the vertical is best...
anyways , How much would someone charge normaly for a logo ? this way i could come up and say them what it would have normaly cost them , and ask for the fraction of the price just to get a little something and make them understand.
oh and you know what happened , when i went to show them the logo flashsolution , they liked it , but i left the .ai on the desktop , i came back today , and they had made all kind of ugly modification , my god , geez it was awful , i couldnt tell them that so i had to come up with a bunch of crap bla bla bla to convince them that Although their modification where nice , the original was slightly better , fuck it wasnt easy ... i was so scared lol ...
memo to self : NEVER LEAVE SOURCE files again to clients .
