    Smile logo design critique please

    Hi,

    1st post. So please be nice.

    Was not intending on posting on here as I'm not expecting the best of responses as I'm still working on the design, just hoping for some helpful input/ideas.

    Thanks, Ben

    OK ideas! Reminds me alot of these guys DUB Magazine: Car Culture

    Did you go straight to screen? Or did you do the old school pen to paper first and then develop from there?

    The name feels dates and a bit tacky in my opinion. I would have a re-think it reminds me of a cake shop from years ago when I was a kid called 'Buns By Betty'.

    Of those you have, top left is the strongest but even that could stand a fair bit of refinement.

    The logo hasn't really got a target audience as its has to look professional to everyone.

    I've had a change in plans.

    The logo will have the d and b together making a sort of symbol "db" then Im looking to have Ben next to it or close.

    I do take on board that the name is weak I have often thought about changing it, instead I am trying to work around it with the logo being the letters D B B.

    Suggestions still welcome.

    Why not just call it design ben or ben design and have the "db" or "bd" as the basis for the logo. You could call it design by ben and just drop the "by" from the logo and have "design by ben" in text but not part of the logo

    My domain name has the words "design by ben".

    I wanted the logo to link to that, but in theory your right, it doesn't need two B's. I could keep it short n sweet, with the logo "db" and then text bellow. (THANK YOU) I will show a post up a few sketches soon.

    Few rough sketches. The green dots are next to the ones I'm thinking of taking forwarded and playing with in illustrator. Opinions wellcome.
