Thread: logo design critique please

Hi there

Im trying to get my feet of the ground with my freelance work, and im trying to decide on my logo before planning my website. Would it be possible to get your thoughts on these 2 so far.

Thank you

I think the concept is good but the LJ motif is waaaayyyyy too big IMO. Imagine fitting that sensibly on a business card or on a website banner...

Should probably add that being predominantly a coder I tend to think practically about everything. This may stunt my creative flair to be honest but that is who I am. Perhaps let some of the more creatively 'free-spirited' types take a look as well

Thanks for the reply

it does look rather huge when viewed like this, but i have put it on a business card and it looks quite good

it looks really blurry as a jpeg! how annoying

Yes, it does a bit doesn't it. I'm sure that will be taken into account though.

This quality may not be any better

nope. whats the best file format?

The thing that strikes me is that the logo creates a bit of an awkward footprint (I can't think of any I've see which are as tall and narrow) and that the size difference between the LJ device and the 'designs' bit is huge (the 'design' bit is rightly smaller but I feel that the balance here is weighted too far the other way).

First thing I'd look into is a shorter, fatter shape for LJ, I think.

I think DaveL has put what I was trying to say in a much better way
