Very nice. A beautiful mark that is well executed. It just doesn't really feel like a designers logo to me. It's very "corporate". Just my two cents.
- Hombre_Lobo_20
^totally see that point
that was kinda what i was going for. i wanted a more mature, professional mark (despite how junior i may be!). So the danger of it being corporate and not designery was there. Cheers dude :)

sorry to fuck about with mrghost longshot, but it had to be done.
other than that i reckon you've done a pretty good work. for being rather corporate you can differentiate yourself from the crowd of 'let's push creativity to the max, even making things look like shit'
if you are happy with the kind of companies that may approach you based on your personal brand, so be it.
- HAHAH!
thats my new fucking logo! that will make me stand out! :DHombre_Lobo_2
- HAHAH!

@maikel
love the 'let's push creativity to the max, even making things look like shit' - soo true. that was part of my reasoning.
You see a lot of crap trying to be cool, edgy, fresh out college / uni, that's trying to be creative for the sake of it, and not actually appropriate or beneficial to the purpose of whatever it is (site, illustration, logo etc).
You could call it hipster creative work :O

I'm sure you'll earn some enemies for saying that, mate.
I personally agree but don't take my advise as wise or effective, it's just an opinion.

Always present B/W
Can it present in a single color?
Is it scalable? vector format?
How does it work in context?
- Hombre_Lobo_20
^yeh i know presenting black and white is best, but thought id show the finish product first.
see previous page for B&W.
Scale tests still need to be done.
in context - ill post my new site for crit soon :)

yeh i can see your point. BLOODY DECISIONS!

sorry nice mark but doesn't say "designer" to me, even if you're trying to be conservative.
concept needs a little twist or something extra special which people expect for a designer.
for example; the negative space/ inside of triangle = the point of a pencil... yeah been done but just making a... er... point (npi).

I also think your font selection should better reflect the form of logo. The character are very round but your icon is crisp.
Ideally the A of Ash should mimic the icon, even just subtle.
- or put a slight round corner on the peak of icon, so it's not a crisp fold... might help look a little less Chevron/ corporateinkpink

It makes you seem as if you have no personality at all, like an accountant or a styrofoam consultant. Its very plain and obvious. What do you want your clients to know about you from looking at your logo?

@inkpink
thanks for the crit dude! appreciate it! Yeah i can see how most designers logos have a 'twist' of some sort.
Very sound advice on the type reflecting the aesthetics of the A shape. Perhaps a bolder type would suffice, but i did try bolder type and it just looked unbalanced.
maybe a pointed typeface, but as light as the neo sans one, to balance it.
thanks dude!
