This is for a family member. He is trying to create the next facebook or myspace.

Is there really any place for new social networking site left on that saturated market? Oh well, none of my business, I guess.
Regarding the logo, I see you handled your type pretty decent, but neither of the four logos work for me.

When you put the words together like that, without any case hints, I read it frenchie stylee - cubenoise, au 'coob-nwaseh'
I get the cube in three of the forms - but whither noise? All seems little obvious and unthought out. The one where you have ..wait for it.. thought outside the box, with the circular arrow forms, doesn't make any sense - I mean, it's good that you've tried to go away from the box - but circles are like anti-boxes - just too far from expectation.
My impression is that you've not sat down for a few hours with a pad and paper and sketched out concepts and ideas first, instead, just jumping straight into illustrator and going with the obvious.
- thanks, very good points (all valid and pretty much on point) I did sketch some but not nearly enough.rodzilla

detritus do you like any of type going on?

Somehow the name gives me the feeling this will be for music (probably the noise bit). Maybe the 'noise' in logo 4 reminded me of music as well, giving it somewhat of a speaker-feel.
What does the box represent to you - is it the community (should it consist of a lot of small cubes?) Or is it a user (should it be connected to other cubes?).
I don't really like any of the (larger) typefaces. But especially not the second/quarish one.. it's too literally 'cubes'
- detritus0
As I'm not really feeling the logos, it's hard for me to comment on the type choice - first one's entirely non-offensive, whilst the second one is a bit too rectangular for me. I'd *consider* doing that most unholy of things and squishing it vertically a little - just to see what it looks like.. but that's probably a terrible idea.
I understand what neverblink is saying about the second type being 'literally too cube', but that doesn't necessarily bother me.

do something with the cube, ad some quarter circles like www.engadget.com and you have 'cube' and 'noise'.
but maybe do some brainstorming, write down words you associate with cube/noise/social/networking/... and try to illustrate those things.

Rhubarb! I agree with the first post Facebook and Myspace have cornered the market as far as networking goes, then there's bebo, and wealth of other sites, infact out of curiosity I had a look on wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis…So this proposed site must have to be offering something fantastically different to convince people to change from Facebook, Myspace etc...
As for the logos I don't really like any of them, sorry. I don't really like the name either although I don't know it's context.

the closet one to me for a networking site is #2 but it looks too much like myspace in a box. Also I would just use the word connect, instead of network | connect. simple is good.

it's not saying connect or social network to me. the closest is the first with your arrows coming around. but the block and the block with the FLW-esque arch isnt working. I would follow other SNS and keep the name all the same font/weight.

all looks too macho and techy for a sn site imo.
I think a big part of the problem is the name - not very 'friendly'
- max_prophet0
I assume the idea is that you fuck around on these sites while you're at work in your 'cube' ?
'cubetime' would work better, its more catchy and 'fun' to say, you can imagine people using it in conversation, "hows work going?" - "oh y'know, catchin a little cubetime"
fuck me I'm good.
- Yeah, you are probably on point with that one.....rodzilla

I tried to get more out of him as far what the site was going to do, but he kept referencing myspace and facebook. Like I said, he is a family member. The conversation went like this...."so you do graphics 'n stuff. I have this website that I am designing its going to be better than myspace/facebook."
--"what are is going to make you so different?"
-- pause..........."Look at my site, here is my logo."
I couldn't get anything more out of him. He just kept saying, - just real quick do a logo for me.
