February for Science!

- imo it feels a bit cluttered and off balance. The MFS and Sacto type could come down in size to even it out a touch.ben_
- Not sure what's up with the keystoned type as you didn't have that in your previous version.ben_
- And I'd reduce the size of the bear and star which would allow you to maybe get it more evenly balanced as well.ben_
- Oh nvm, you did have that keystone issue going on.. fix that fo'sho.ben_
- from my googling, the keystoning isn't easily fixed in GIMP :( but I will try. thanks for the feedback! I will experiment with these things.sarahfailin
- Ah, I didn't realize or pay attention to the fact that you're using Gimp - good luck.ben_

As concept sketches his are ok, if that's the direction they want to go in. If you like, run with it and make them better, if you don't, don't.
- Why is the form of the orbits on yours different? Surely that bit should be the same?detritus
- basically there are two versions going around. i like this one better. if you image search march for science logo, you'll see all the different takes on it.sarahfailin

Design aside, such things are a community project and we all may accept that such events do not have high priced logo concepts done by top tier designers. I'd prefer a shitty logo from someone actually involved with his/her heart in the community than some fancy concept from mr. anonymous ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Help where you can, adjust kerning and colors and don't over engineer it. People don't like their hobby projects taken over by professionals.

Isn't putting text over a logo like a pretty big no-no? if I wanted writing all over the logo, I would have put it there myself...

- somebody downvoted, but why? who writes on a brand mark!sarahfailin

not a big fan of any of them tbh but look how the bottom two may be more interesting when applied in the real world, like on t-shirts, posters, flyers, digital. They are more dynamic.

Hey so, what do you guys think about this for a t-shirt design? I made it myself and there are some tiny problems. For some reason the ends of the letters get deformed when I do "Text Along Path." I'm using GIMP 2, cause I don't have photoshop... so maybe that's why? Any tips or feedback would be appreciated!
- there's more space on the right side than on the left and I can't exactly figure out why.sarahfailin
- how you printing? if low budget and silk screen stick to 1 or 2 colours. this type of things works perfectly fine as 1 colour if done well so save the budget onfadein11
- pointless use of extra colours if you can.fadein11
- your grant/fund suppliers will appreciate it later on. save funds for real shit at the event.fadein11
- thing*fadein11
- yeah, the logo itself is either 3 colors or we could do it in 1. got a pretty good deal silk screen printing for 3 colors, so gonna do that.sarahfailin

- *no kerning adjusted :D !%sted
- i just discovered that my right electron makes my atom layer off-center! that's why i'm getting more space on the right.sarahfailin
- yeah and please keep in mind that optical centers aren't always the mathematical centersted
- geez i'm a bit low on energy but you got it :Dsted

Printing vector on tee shirts is easy.
- i thought it might be, but I don't know what I don't know, you know?sarahfailin
- will be pricey if lots of colours though (if silkscreen)fadein11
- OP310
- yes indeed. people are doing all kinds of things with it. from a branding perspective, it's prob not a good situation for MFS national.sarahfailin
- something like this would look cool on a shirt thoughOP31

b-bump. i'm gonna talk to this guy soon. maybe ask him to give me something a little less thrown-together. I don't want to ask him to do a lot of work if i'm not going to use it.
right now, i think a better design (though not creative) is to just have:
March For Science
(logo)

Date
- freedom-1
- you're saying I should center the bear right in the middle and let the star be further to the left? right now they're roughly centered as one object.sarahfailin
- They're not finished designs though, right?detritus
- they're "concepts" for a t-shirt design. my logo w/ the bear is basically finished, though I'm not above tweaking it if you guys show me something i can improvesarahfailin

Arial, huh?
I'm gonna go get a sandwich.

No designer would send concepts that weak. There's no concept. 15 more minutes and it could have been designed.
