Hi guys,
Recently I have got a logo designing work for a company named "eKnight".
Reminds of a game site,isn't it?
Problem is,this is NOT a game site.It provides IT and networking services as well as looks after web security.

I designed a logo,but I am not complete happy with it.What can help it become more eligible??
The knight's head (which I tried to make a little different) looks common Idea.
Any better thought????
and I don't know how to insert images here so I had to attach it.

Hello Idefy, it's beautiful, you have a really great start! The black background with the silver gradient is nice. I think if it were me I would use a knight's helmet or a knight for the logo with the same shading. The text is really nice also but not very legible nor does it stand out, hard to read the name of the company. Very creative though.....

Thank you,Giselle!
you are very kind.I was going to get rid of the text anyway.And thanks for not telling its bad....

Bad?? I think you have a great start! Do you really think you have to get rid of the text Idefy, maybe try working with it? With the name eKnight brings to mind Knights, the font you have fits right in but wasn't legible. I don't feel it's out of the box.

I agree with Giselle. The font isn't bad, it has the right 'feel' to it, but that particular version isn't very legible. I'd stay away from the gradients on the text and go with a solid color. You could even go metallic, just keep it crisp and clean. You can adjust the kerning between letters to help readability.

I also agree with the actual knight's helmet, it's instantly recognizable.

I did the attached really quickly. The font is Old English

Thanks ladyinred!
well...I was not really in trouble with the fonts,I wanted to have some thing "out of the box" type logo for it.But the logo is ...so obvious...and common -ish.

I think LnR's use of the Old English font is spot-on, but I agree with Giselle that the depiction of a knight would be better. Personally, I'd take a look at medieval prints of something like St. George and the Dragon, and try to simplify and modernize it. THAT would make an interesting logo.

Hello, Dalton!
Thanks for the idea, I am working on it and soon show you all what I have come up with!

yes gradient and some layer effects will do.
