Thread: Logo Critique

I have just finished re-designing my logo, any critiques? Room for improvement?

Thanks



Not sure how to re-size....

S'fine but that 'o' gimmick is very familiar ...

Could you link me to another logo with this similar gimmick please?

I think it's a very "safe" logo, it doesn't offend me, but then I doubt I'd remember it - I'd agree with Dave L, the o gimmick is familiar - I'll try and find an example, but maybe it's because it's just not that original a shape in the first place. I don't think it's an awful logo, I just think it needs more work to become more memorable, perhaps a bit more thought into whatever 'gimmick' you do use to make it more unique - if you're a visual company then your logo needs to be visually exciting, I would say. I always remember logos that have something a bit clever to them, a double meaning or something like that. Am i helping at all?! Lol!

I don't remember where I've seen it.

... but a quick image search does see very similar - practically identical - stuff popping up as a vector on stock image sites so maybe Linziloop's point is a valid one. I guess if you have something familiar or commonplace as the key device in your logo people aren't necessarily going to identify it with you, thereby undermining a lot of what you're setting out to achieve (a particular issue when you're selling what you're selling).

It's through occasionally using shutterstock in work that may actually be where ive seen this kind of thing before.

My old college had something similar

Wow! That's even similar colours! Mind you, maybe that's another good point - the colours are quite safe too, ye old corporate blue.

Hmmm. I would argue they are quite different. Mine is far more simple, and the positioning of the logo icon is in a different place too.
