Thread: Logo Crit Please. Thanks

Give 'em what they want, I say. Congratulations on a satisfied customer.

I find it too busy...but if the client likes it...then I guess it's job done?

Just one other (late in the day) thing: that caligraphic/scripty font with the continuation stroke looks a wee bit clumsy with an outline applied as the point at which the letters join has an edge rather than a proper connection (I think it would generally be more effective if you closed up all the gaps for the proper joined-up writing effect).

It looks a bit cliparty. As other have said, it's way too complicated - too many grads and elements. I'd strip it right back. A good tip - design logos in pure black to begin with then you won't get bogged down with grads and colour and you can keep things simple.

Thanks for the tips i've taken them on board. I can't really go much further on the design as the lady knew what she wanted from the start and thats that! I'll refine it and do a couple other versions or heavily tweek that one for my own purposes...Well, I need to deffo work on my typo skills and work out some sort of process to follow with all projects - any tips welcome :icon_sneaky: - Ah well I guess I have to start from somewhere .

It's always the way it goes. The most stressful thing about design is possibly working with clients who don't understand it.

I'm working on a 4 page menu, which the client just asked me to try and include another pages worth of food onto. I replied "It's a sheet of paper, not the tardis"

Keep it up though, best to grin and bare it :)

just remember who you are designing for.... not yourself and not for us...

as long as it's what your client wants, then you have fulfilled your brief!
