New Logo!

**agbdesigns** · 02-03-2009, 04:22 PM

After been told to try desiging logo , I'm about to show you my outcome from a couple of hours. I'd like to know if this was to be changed for a personal business would it fetch any cash and if so how much?

Enjoy ! (:

Get involved in some of the graphic contests to see if your work has some real value.

Everything is worth what somebody will pay for it.

Do you like it though?

I quite like it, it has a good layout and colour scheme. But I think a few changes would improve it:

- the drop shadow on the 'AGB', try making it a bit more subtle; e.g. lighter colour and maybe decrease the size (the drop shadow, not the text)
- level out the bottoms of the three bars on the right
- Try experimenting with some different typography inside the blue square, the angle of it looks a little wierd, or maybe just try creating some sort of symbol to go inside it? Afterall, the 'AGB' is already displayed to the side of it so there isn't much need to have it twice.

Thanks for the detailed feedback , I will take note of what you've said and do that in my next logo. More feedback is more than welcome!

i like the minimalist appproach to this one. nice

The AGB text inside the blue square looks weird. Try flipping it in another angle or something. But overall, it's great!

Awesome work. Can't really make a price estimate, there are other overpriced logos that looks really crappy and there are also $50 logos that looks really good.

I wouldn't pay for it. Looks like a random $60 contest logo. As Banzaibert says, the AGB in the symbol doesn't look fine. In general does not impress at all and doesn't look professional.

Not bad at all. Actually, it looks simple and a little bit clean. Although you need some modifications on the other parts like the text inside the blue box, the 4 bars at the bottom right and some editing on the shadow effect. Good job still!

I think it looks really good. It looks like something you would get from a logo company.

**randon** · 03-17-2009, 03:10 PM

the text in the box would be too small and thin to read on a letter head or something small. Thats something to think about when creating a logo.

**ItzPaul** · 03-17-2009, 10:05 PM

I think that's awesome do as the first poster mentioned sign up for contests.

i don't like it as a whole because it has 3 disparate elements to it: the square, the blue part of the text and the spectrum analyzer bit on the right. they just don't fit together.

I agree. There are too many focal elements and is actually a very distracting design. I would not pay for it. Further, I don't think that your "logo" will print well when scaled down in size. Good attempt, but I would go back to the drawing board.

its nice... n also interesting one..

A logo should be designed to fit the business. I don't like the idea of taking an existing logo and changing it to fit.

As far as the logo you've posted, it's fine, but it's a bit generic. There is nothing unique in the design, but it's a pretty good job.
Essentially, you have 3 or 4 basic design elements and have put them together. How it looks overall will also depend on the background color. On white it looks alright, but if you placed it on a gray background it wont work. It probably wont work on a black or very dark background either.

Originality is important in logo design. You also want simplicity and the ability to re-size without distortion. If text is involved, it needs to be clearly legible even if it's very small, and you need the logo to be easily recognized after the public becomes aware of it.

Look at the logos for Dominoes Pizza, ebay and Prudential. They were specifically designed with the client in mind from the very start.

I'm sure you could probably alter your design and sell it for 35 bucks to someone who can't come up with anything on his own, but why not do what a real designer does. Design original pieces that fit the customer's needs.
