Hello
I am working on a logo for a 'eco' website and venture. Think greenpeace, but not as angry and trying to be a little more refined.
if any one is around on a sunday night (or day depending on where you are) any opinions would be much appreciated.
thanks :D

i like the symbol but i dont think the text is working well together.
also i think the color would be better all black or maybe green...

It looks good in my eyes, I like the font of climate action.
Positive is spelled wrong though..

yeah i wasn't sure about the text. was trying to go for the refined look but it is possibly to 'posh' not really a call to arms.
hmmmm.... maybe san serif.
thanks i make design :)p.s Is it generally considered bad to combine two fonts in a logo?

Too much space between climate & action, tighten it up.

Lovely... just add a bit of color

ha ha whoops guilty, dyslexia and being lazy with the spell check, Thanks for the 'heads up.' need more coffee :)
The font is clarendon in case your wondering.
Yep your definately right about the space uncle_helv.

Why not try a version with the do something positive justified under the word action or both climate action, it looks lost...

if youre going to use two different colors on the text, why not just make it with no space in between. also id go with a green since this is an "eco" organization.
maybe rotate each "raindrop" a little bit so you dont have just that last one rotated 45 deg. why just 7 'drops'? why not 9?

two other versions, tightened up a little and differently justified.

Yep will think about joining them together, would kinda work better when it comes to advertising the web address.
I figured it would be better to sort out the grayscale / black and white image, so no colours have been considered really yet, i was thinking of earthy green/ pale blues. Is that too cliched?
As to the rain drops i was going for a small positive action(the +) in the downpour of negative ones (the X's) And 7. Size constraints, the more raindrops means needing more space.

Kinda like no. 3 with some nice colours.
A few suggestions:
The cloud shape could be more round in the buttom.
Try using snow/rain x's as the i dot somehow??? Maybe stacked as cloud+climate+action...?!
- Jaline0
I like the graphics/cloud but the text needs some fixing and could be smaller.
Now when I have some advice, I'll let you know...

Yeah, i like that, the logo is going to mainly live in the header of the site, but i will have a play.

How will the identity work when applied? It's not balanced well, which, could prove hard to find a place in space or a layout.
Why did you go all lower case?
"Do Something Positive" doesn't feel like it's interacting well with the other elements. I see three elements that stand alone vs. coming together to communicate something about the organization.
If you were to choose the color green, how would that effect what seems to be an identity, name, and symbol telling the story of a sky? (BLUE?)
I do, really enjoy the icon. It's a strong, balanced icon in and of itself.
I don't love the use of Clarendon.
The color differentiation between "climate" & "action" are strong, almost to the point where you could leave the space out of the two words, and let the color do the separating for you. I'd like to see it in all black (with the space).
The elements your using i.e. Clarendon, Icon, Big and Small point sizes, are all quality, I just don't think there singing and dancing in unison.
Is that your illustration work at My Broken Shoe? Excellent Work! I enjoy your illustration.

hello dan_dan_dan
"see three elements that stand alone vs. coming together to communicate something about the organization."
yes I think your right. the text does seem to 'fight' each other.
It is always my weak point. Will go back to the drawing board, though i do do like clarendon.And the colours, Again the green would throw it off totally. Will have to work on them, still not sure whether to use colour.
Your point about the "climate" & "action" seem to be to general concencus so i will take it out.
"Is that your illustration work at My Broken Shoe? Excellent Work! I enjoy your illustration."
Thaks. Yep tonight i am one of my alter ego's - a designer, normally i am a illustrator
:)

Sweet. I'll be interested to see where you take this identity.
Nice work.

I'll post what i come up with in this thread, i got till tuesday night, to sort it.
Thanks for all the help folks. i gotta go rest my eyes, too much screen staring.

me likey long time--just needs a bit of finessing

i am not sure what it's about exactly?
i am feeling the idea with plusses and the cloud..
anyway, i'd still play a bit more with the positioning of the cloud.. and i am not too sure about the sharp edgy corners on it..
also i recommend to not use Clarendon in the payoff/slogan, only for the name..(big letters).
i am feeling it, but i wonder if you have some more variations..
also still not sure about spacing between text and image..
- warheros20
im thinking it would come together more if you stacked climate action either on top of the cloud and made it blue/yellow or put it on the bottom and made it sky/ground. ya dig?
perhaps make it interact more with the clouds/plus's
do something positive could be lightning bolt of sorts? like POW. iunno.

hello again, just a quick update.
The deadline has been pushed forward to this evening. (a couple of hours time.)
I have dropped using claredon, i think it did clash with the symbol too much. The Client has changed his mind on the 'tagline.' Which i think could be sensible, and so i have replaced it with the have the web address instead.
Also i have added some colour.
Any opinions on the latest version?
black and white:
thanks :)
