dito vb. better balloon, but keep the type as it is. it's friendlier, less corporate, very approachable. so it does meet your brief. will work well cross colour schemes.

thanks rabbattski, i personally never saw or meant the writing as a insult, but the combo with the ballon does give that off, will play with the balloon
cheers.

i wouldn't leave it up to donal to decide if it possibly could be insulting. that's up to you and your client. i don't find it insulting at all.

yeah dito rabats! :)
smoothen the balloon and make some color variations.
eg. only the balloon a color and the text underneath black.
try happy colors, pink, green etc.
goodluck!
and don't forget to show us!

I will make this an official NT crit with the following statement...
it needs more cowbell.

thanks rabattski, vb,
i am on th e smoothing of the balloon, the happy colours sound good.
I 'll definately be posting again, when i got something.
Hey grunnt, much appreciated, think that is my first more cowbells, yay ! :D

yeah... the balloon shape bugs me. ..and I agree that the company name should show up somewhere.

"..and I agree that the company name should show up somewhere."
jesus, we're really turning the world of logo design on its head here!

what about something that denotes the phone?
this is rough and dirty but you see what i'm getting at

Hello Bighappen,
I like it.
I kind of agree with Donal though. You don' want to come across that disabled people write in a disfunctional manner it could be quite condecending, maybe try a more scripted look:
http://www.aplacecalledcommon.co…I dunno, good work though.
P.s You are one of the most accepting and understanding people I have come across on this board
- Bluejam0
i think it's perfect.
- t_rock0
that phone receiver in the bubble? no. please.
- bighappen0
a little update: -the ballon shape is coming along, though before i post it up again thought i would work on some colours.
"jesus, we're really turning the world of logo design on its head "
-ha ha, ace :D - the company name is Can I ? .version 3 - Yeah i like the idea of adding a phone, but it is eventually, hopefully going to work for lots of different uses, not just phone.
Hello Dancer, I like the scripted type idea, will see if i can make a readable flowing 'Can I?' think that could be cool. That website is real nice love the trees.
"P.s You are one of the most accepting and understanding people I have come across on this board"
- cheers, i just like to get feedback, no one is ever nasty, It is mostly really good feedback, I don't see the point of sticking my head in the sand if i ask for help. It seems to be the best way to learn how to design.
thanks folks :D

Don't forget about your audience... the logo should imply at least who the phone line is for.
I dunno- throw a wheelchair in there or something.

The text looks more like a scrawl and quite childlike, try to find a font which is soft and friendly which makes the charity appear approachable instead of insulting and patronising.
A good starting point would be Helvetica Rounded, yet this has been used to death in the context you are using it

"Don't forget about your audience... the logo should imply at least who the phone line is for."
hey tenpointtwo, I am not sure that their should be a distinction for 'disabled'
Here is a little update.
Have tried using 'real fonts' though i have been stareing at it for too long, think i will come back to it tommorrow.
- bighappen0
whoops i meant to add, the top two are the latest.
bottom bubbles are boring elispes' so i smoothed the original bubble.

haven't read any post but stick to it.
friendly and you can change it later if there's not some user feedback. just print it ihmo.
