the gradient fill makes it look too fussy in my opinion.

id like to see the #1 from the first batch in black and white.
i liked it more than the current. i think gradients are hoaky on a mark.

i think #5 in the progression was pretty hot.
nice job man. really. =)
as for the color studies, if you can get away with it, i think you should definitly get the colors in the rings back. that looked tight in those earlier versions.
somehow in the last versions of it, the idea of the core (in the icon) is not so easliy noticable as it was in the earlier versions. i think the banded colors are the main reason for this.
still though, very tight work and i hope you get paid a bundle for it!

I like the first one the best, the orange/brown makes it look HOT HOT HOT!

im not as tough on gradients in logos as most people. so long as it can be reproduced across medias, then i see nothing wrong with a gradient in an icon/logo. but ONLY if it will be reproduced (printed, silkscreened or whatever) correctly.
i do think the gradient in "core" is a bit off. im just being knit-picky, but i think if the center of the gradient were a little off center, it would look a bit more like it fit.
just my thoughts though.

that's a good point biofreak, regarding the offcenter gradient....
but how the hell is that done in illustrator ?
freehand is so good for that stuff.... how about illustrator....
and please don't tell me i have to fake that using some compound shapes or clipping masks....

im tellin ya that gradient aint doin nuthin for the logo

3 or 8 in link 1 I just don't think it should have that white glow in the yellow part
- travis0
and the outer ring should be removed on all- but i am a minimalist... and color.... boy... simplify simplify...
- boyintrnet0
oh and 1 in link one is also good stick with brown colors
- phlojonaut0
i agree and i don't :)
i never use gradients much either, but this time for some reason i think it needs some slight gradient to show some dimension on maybe a bit of a glow....
but i agree that the gradient might be a bit strong...and i am not concerned about printing it on clothes and stuff...
as long as i can get a tatoo of it, i'll be fine :) or maybe i can make one of them stamps that are used to burn scars with...
but how would the gradient be solved in that situation...sorry i'm just talking nonsense here...

001 ...colors translate the earffskorr the best for me
- phlojonaut0
i think the colors look kinda rich because you see them all next to each other...
but if you break it down.. one by one... i think the colors are not very complex...
- ********0
the very last one, then...
the thin lines give it class/style....
tho you gotta watchout when you make the logo 80x80 pix for web use...lines will be gone then....

in illustrator, select the object (since it already has a gradient fill) then choose the gradient tool. click on the object where you want the center point to be and then drag outward.
play around til you get it like you want it and BAM! you got yerself a nice lil radial gradated core. =)
- Biofreak0
and remember that the place you first click will the the center, but the place where you stop dragging will be where the other color becomes solid.
then everything outside of where you stopped dragging will be that color.
did that make any sense at all? heheh. sorry. hard to explain, but youll see what i mean as soon as you start dicking with it.
