legibility? only way i knew it said sidetrak was by the file name.
- blastofv0
legibility is lost entirely, but I love the feel of the letterforms
- DavidFelt0
Yeah its meant to be kind of a pictogram, but to be honest I dont think its that 'illegible'. I will be using a typeface with it though saying 'sidetrak records' so it doesnt matter all that much, just looking for opinions on the look and feel of it!

really nice logotype. you have breaks in a few of the letters that help make it more legible. try that too.
i'm not feeling the dots in the type. looks better simple.

It's completely illegible. Nice, but illegible.

What does it say?
- spiralstarez0
I'm of the illegible camp, but I love the form and think it looks great.
If you're deciding between the two drop the one with the dots.
- DavidFelt0
thanks yeah, i realise its not particularly legible, I want critique on how the forms look, any way i can improve them etc. thanks, keep it coming!

nice work.
i'm just wondering if there's anyway you could do the "s" different so that it q's off the legibility just a bit?
i think you could break its flow with the "i" and not sacrifice the feel of the logo.
- dirtydesign0
play with that k a little more too. might help... looks cool though
- DavidFelt0
Will do peeps! The crit was basically to see what peoples general perception of it was before i work on it, Now I know people think its a 'goer' Ill tweak it some more!
- Rand0
love it
- gramme0
You could at least move the s/i ligature so the bottom half of 's' is closer to the top half... not sure if the lig needs ot be broken or not
top simpler version is better
careful you don't get too designer's republic with it
nice overall
- DavidFelt0
Thanks Ran and Gramme, any more for any more?????
- ldww0
nice.
if you fix the s there is a chance someone will know what it says. as is stands now no one is going to spend the time to decyper it.

it's super tough to read. the bottom one is even more difficult with the dots in it. it's turns more graphic than text and makes it impossible to read.
i like the concept but try working on a way to clear up the letters a bit.
very good start.
- horton0
reads better.
but personally i think you could altogether lose the loop on the tail of teh "S" and finsih it to match the "K".
+ then as a bonus it'd feel like its on its "side".
nice work regardless.

Def more legible, except it loses its 'marque' feel. If it's gonna have subtext maybe illegible isn't such a bad idea. Lets see an update soon.
