Thread: Logo Crit Please. Thanks

Hi, Just wondering if I could have you honest thoughts on this logo I'm doing for someone? Basically its a childrens party planner (girly pamper parties mainly) and basically she wanted balloons coming out of a box! My hardest thing was the font/type I would would say...Didn't do anything to it, just used a simple font to make it bold but childish/friendly-ish/cutish if that makes any sense?

Any constructive critism welcome. Thanks

Nothing wrong with the concept (party as a product/balloons in a box) and the colour scheme obviously fits the brief. The font's okay too although I'm hot keen on the 'y' and I'd probably limit it to the trading name and go with something a bit more formal and understated for the service description. As for the illustration, it looks a bit busy/imbalanced to me (four balloons is at least one [and perhaps as many as three] too many and, being the same size, they look a bit flat). In short, I feel that you could communicate everything here with far fewer repeated elements, perhaps to the extent that it could be reduced to a single balloon with a single star on it coming out of a box.

I agree with the above, far too busy at the moment and i'm not too keen on the font chosen.

Thanks guys I'll keep playing around with it. It would be okay as an illustration but is too busy for a logo and "you should know that" so I'm told! Its only the first attempt though and only took me about an hour so I won't be too hard on myself yet :icon_tongue_smilie:

Cheers I'll update later

Had another quick go before I go to work....Tried to simplify a little bit...not sure it's working though. Its the font thats killing me the most! :icon_hide:

As everyones said before me, i like the concept and i do like the 2 balloons with the little stars aswell.

The font reminds me of a 50s? french cafe, i don't know why lol.

The one thing i really dislike (sorry) is the gradient on the box, i don't think it needs to be there, maybe just have it 1 colour on each side like a light pink and dark pink.

Hope that helps :)

Another font...:icon_dunno: lol

I've done a quick search on girly/princessy type parties and organisers, and a lot seem to use those comic sansy type fonts or italic/fancy font...i've tried one which is slightly more girly.... :icon_hide:

I like, i personally think thats the best logo and i like the font aswell

I think it needs to still be stripped back much more, do you even need the box?

Yep. Same for the stars and balloons. She likes it as it is now. In fact, she preferred the one with the 4 balloons but the font I used on the last one. :icon_Wall:
