So Im thinking about starting my own thing...
How do people like this (name and logotype):
- ********0
Nice. Illy work eh?
- armed_rob0
yes sir

Has possibilities. Don't stop there though. How can the logo inform the thought behind the name? Maybe through some king of reveal? The name hints at the element of surprise. This combined with the elegance you are starting to achieve could be a powerfull combination. Keep pushing it!

fuck with the transparency.
- armed_rob0
what transparency?
- johndiggity0
give it some in places and or a place.
- johndiggity0
better yet, add "dis" on the front and try a transparent fade in effect to hide it and make people think.

no... its a logo, keep to the basics and keep it simple... when incorporated into a website header you could add some fancy shit, but transparencies and fades dont print too well on fax

who faxes anymore?
- function820
...alot of people... thats like asking who uses netscape 4 anymore... alot of people arn't into the technology as much as the design world
- johndiggity0
and people make sites in css too. i understand what your saying about striving for legibility in various media formats, but is his target audience likely to be using fax machines. does he have a fax? maybe he can address that.
- function820
fax was an example, regardless of that a logo has to work for multiple types of media, not just websites, a basic logo that can be scaled is a great starting point, and if you need to make changes to it to fit a media theme, ok, but the logo itself (in my opinion) shoud be able to be reproduced in 1 colour + white

john... youre bullshiting – right?
- johndiggity0
not at all. something like this:
it's still one color. play around. it's a cool word.
- armed_rob0
have to say i dony like your idea! sorry...
- johndiggity0
that's fine, just trying to help you out. maybe play with the line weight? thinner to thick?
- armed_rob0
thats fine... but you know... I like it as clean as it can get!
I belive you feel the same – after seeing your website!

curious what you want to do with it. kinda looks like something from a broadway play or a high end face lotion or something. not a design firm
just my opinion
- armed_rob0
well bonseff... im not planning to go broadway!
If its gonna be it, it is a design firm.
I like it, but I know its so fucking different from all the other design firm logos – and from anything else ive done... but I like it! I kinda like that too...
Why i posted it... to get peoples opinion!?
Thanx for feedback!
