@album.
What i meant with generic is that it has been done before, a lot. I've done it before and it works.Agree with everything else, but i disagree with you saying that McDonald is generic and Comedy Central is boring and generic. I can't think of any other brand prior to McDonald to have such a pronounced and clear M. I didn't like comedy Central at all, but reading their brief and seeing the logotype flipped and messing around with the copyright symbol is witty and adds "fun" to it, which is what the channel is about.
If we continue we will never going to fucking end this.
By the way, the name Coremare Group is bad jeje but that's what it is, generic boring and we as designer have to create miracles from it.
OP can do whatever he wants, but when you look for opinions and crits here you will get a lot of disagreement and that's fine. It is sane and you are the one who have to decide what to take and what not.

these threads always have the same meaningless advice in them. try left aligning it. try a different font. why does it not have a picture of a boat in it?
have you tried adding a picture of a boat by the way?

needs a fucking anchor..how will it ever appeal to the hipsters with no anchor?

if i was in the market for something to do with boats or harbours i would expect at the very least for my chosen company to have something to do with boats or harbours in the logo. ideally the logo would, by itself, tell me everything i need to know about them. so a boat and a harbour. a docking boat if you will.
and can you try a different font please.

Mcdonlads - Relates to their history (the design of their first few stands I believe), says something about who they are.
HP - Looks pretty techy to me, says something about what they do.
Atari - Looks like a spaceship or racing game, says something about what they do.
Lego - Looks like it's for kids, says something about what they do.
Shell - Relates to their history, says something about who they are.
Starbucks - The mermaid looks enlightened, relating to caffeine (stimulant), says something about what they do.
Comedy Central - Backwards/upside letters/words are playful/humerous, says something about what they do.
QBN - Looks like a wax stamp or stamp of approval. Relates to the approved content provided, says something about what they do.
A logo is an opportunity to communicate some aspect of the brand, but that doesn't mean it absolutely has to do this, of course it doesn't have to be literal.
BTW the whole critique process is HUGELY valuable in the design process, the very first thing I was tought is how to get over your ego and make the most of the opportunity.

All critics are perfect, that's the purpose of it. In this case the brand can't be attached to any particular maritime icon, since the group is opening to a wide variety of services, that can't be consolidated under a wheel, an anchor or a ship, the objective is to have a corporate simple logo, not too comercial as for a brand, instead more convencional as for a company.
It's brilliant to share and discuss ideas in QBN, all comments has been productive.
