Thread: Not so much a crit more a cry for help...

I've picked up a little branding job (woohoo). It's more of an artworking job as the clients have been very specific about colours, content font styles etc.. As it's a fairly low budget job I'm not really inclined to spend too much time an effort dissuading them so have pretty much just gone along with the brief. Usually when the client's been really specific, I can put it together and say it's X Y & Z that are ruining this, but on this occasion, there's something that makes me tilt my head to the side and slightly screw my face up but I cant for the life of me work out what! It's driving me mad!

Disney might not like the tinkerbell silhouette!?
And don't get me started about taste...

It's based on tinkerbell as those were the instructions from the client but is a completely original vector.

As for taste, You and I both know it looks like a kids party but it's what the client wants so what can I do.

If people are looking at the fairy and immediately assume I've just ripped off Disney, then perhaps the fairy needs more work to move her away from that?..

I think you are far enough away from the classic Tinkerbell silhouette to be OK (can't believe I just typed that sentence).

You seem to know a lot about it Corrosive!!!

It said tinkerbell to me...I don't know what that says? Disney are rotweilers when it comes to IP.

I thought Tinkerbell too. I suspect the font is making your eyes go a bit squiffy. Have you tried it with the stars in front of the letters - perhaps with a white fill?

Yeah, fair comment. A friend of ours runs a children's party business and someone else did the logo for her in a very similar way so been round that loop once or twice. And obviously a massive Disney fan

Thanks for the opinions guys. Think some work on the fairy is certainly needed. I hate the font but it seems to be the most legible scripted font in my collection. I might have a rake through some discs this aft and see if I can find any others.
