Concept and copywriting is def the problem.?
what's wrong with the concept and what do you mean copywriting?- It looks like a terd that fell out of my ass in one straight string and the tag line is horrible.********
- and the fonts don't work together********

track it out. you dont want to have 'mathematically even' spacing with the letters. meaning, just because each letter is touching the next the same amount, doesnt mean they are even. each letter needs it own space.
the spaces between the letters are as important as the letters themselves.

the logo is fine, i like the 1st and 3rd the 2nd I'm not gonna use
You can't do much more then that. Now means present time clock motion, today can be represented by a calendar which is what 3rd version is... but it works better as a diamond
today means
this present day this present time
day means the light of day; daylight
The period of light between dawn and nightfall; the interval from sunrise to sunset.
To means used for expressing motion or direction toward a point
since the diamond is also a dynamic square
looks like a diamond ring hence the "present/gift"

It seems you lack a proper concept, Nazarene. You need a critique more than you need kerning input. What is this for? Those shapes don't mean anything at all.
At the risk of sounding harsh, I agree with Mau: back to the drawing board. Show us some options. When designing a logo, I almost always explore a ton of conceptual directions, and only once a few of those concepts stand up to review do I think about type, and thus kerning.
- read my explanation ^********
- some logos don't need over thinking and i like the theory it should be what it should be.********
- a circle means everything.. esp time which is what Now means...********
- It's too general. The meaning is entirely ambiguous. And you should always spend a great deal of time thinking about concepts w/ logos.Scotch_Roman
- concepts w/ logos. Or anything else you design, for that matter.Scotch_Roman
- "it should be what it should be." —This is not a theory. It's a cop-out.Scotch_Roman

i asked for advice for the tagline kerning not the TodayNow that doesn't need changing I think everyone would agree, thanks for the advice
- Mau0
- inkpink0
create som contrast; tighten up the TodayNow, and loosen the tagline so it reads better.
- TodayNow is as tight as it can be i agree to loosen up the tagline but dunno about all the letters just where needed.********
- you asked for advice. look at your replies. something ain't right. i think i gave you an honest and helpful answer.inkpink
- oh im thankful sorry about the "tone"********
