Hi everyone, thanks for all the entries so far. This is part one of the feedback and part two will have feedback for the second page of entries. When I am making points, I won't keep repeating myself. If you did something similar to a logo I have already critiqued, then the same advice applies to you too. So here goes: Puttu, your first entry is one that my business partner has highlighted as being one of her favourites. For me personally, I find the font a bit strong, and prefer having the words side by side. The logo itself feels happy but I'm not sure if I want it to be the logo for my brand. Robert thanks for your efforts. Out of them all, this one was the one of yours I like the best but overall I cannot see myself branding my company with this design. It doesn't capture the feeling I want. Puttu, this effort is a step backward compared to the first one. As I said in the job description, I wanted people to use the photos of the suitcases as inspiration, not to copy. This logo actually had me and my partner both laughing. The character would be amazing for an episode of futurama, but unfortunately, it's not going to brand my company. Very artistic though. Darkbat, thanks for trying but I don't feel your effort followed the brief and the work is not up to the same quality as some of the entries. eg. I said to use 1 colour. some people have successfully added a colour very effectively and I have been happy to see that, in some cases. But this is up to 3 colours, the font is not like the brief asks. The characyer isn't capturing my interest. I enjoyed your entry. I can see you used the brief, tried something different and executed it quite well. Unfortunately the character isn't doing it for me. It's like it was started with a clip art suitcase and the eyes etc have been drawn on. Johnrossgd - This entry is the first one I got a bit excited by. It doesn't follow the brief with colour, but it does all the rest. My partner likes it too. Buuut, there are some problems, the suitcase looks like a camera lens, so it makes me think of "big brother is watching" and we don't feel inspired by the browns. The good points are the layout of the logo, the words side by side, the character looks like an icon and I think it works nicely in THIS design having one word thicker than the other. DenisaSilver - Your effort was very imaginative and made me smile, but it is not close to being picked. Logoesdesign - I feel you understood the brief well and the layout of the logo is nice. Also, you tried something a bit different with the character. I wouldn't pick this one as it stands, I'm not falling in love with the character, but you are on the right tracks. Iulia - Your efforts were presented very nicely, I liked the font (if it was maybe a little too much bold) but I feel your character to be very similar to one by altruist design. However, you did understand the brief and I really like how the logo looks when it was shrunken down. Just I could not pick your character to represent my company. Andiholist - I loved the format of the text, really nice. and from both of your entries, I like the first character best of the two. However I haven't fallen completely in love with the little guy. I can't put into words why not, but we both mentioned you in a shortlist. Katesrobyn - Thanks for the entry, it looks like you put effort in but unfortunately this type of style isn't what I was looking for. I feel this might be better suited for a teenage fashion brand or something similar.
Hi andremuresan, at first glance I liked your effort, but upon further inspection, I found the font used in the word suitcase not to be to my liking, and I didn't yhink the logo character reduced down in size very well. However, I did find your work to be of a high quality. Thanks for trying a second time katesrobyn. My first thought was of halloween or a haunted house. It's a cool design to look at, but so far from the brief that I cannot consider it. Nelutu - I feel what you are doing. The concept is great. I'm very interested in topics like sacred geometry and although your design isn't sacred geometry, its what I thought of when I saw how you make them. The design fits the brief perfectly. I really like the character, maybe he is a little bit aggressive, I'm not sure yet. I love the character, but this blog is for female readers and male readers. maybe he needs "softened" a little. I'm not sure. Also, I like how you have used different weights for the fonts. I'm just not liking the s in the first font. Gibblet - Great entry, clearly followed the brief, The logo is more abstract. The zip are very subtle teeth, the corner looks like an eye. I like it. I think if you are using 2 weights for the fonts, that it looks better having suitcase in the lighter font, and monster in the heavier font.
I have critiqued every submission just now. It will be clear for all to see who is in with a chance and who isn't. After discussion with my partner we have decided to extend the competition for 1 more day so if any of you want to try some more, you are all very welcome to do so. My partner and I shall review the entries together later on, in about 6 hours or so, we will discuss all the entries and narrow down our shortlist. Then tomorrow I will pick a winner. Thanks everyone, this is why I keep coming back every time I (or someone I know) needs a logo
Thank you for the feedback. Sorry for the similarity, I haven't seen the other design before I made mine but it is indeed similar . Anyway consider my first entry withdrawn. I made a revised version:
I made some changes for you. I gave the face some more personality and made the teeth more subtle for less aggressiveness. I added monster feet and a highlight to make it pop. Then I changed the type to be side by side with a bolder "monster".
