sorry had to comment , STD I like yours simple and nice, raghav I love yours simple and very professional more of a logo you see for corporate use

 

here is a re-submission, colours fit perfectly

 

Wow - so many entries in the last 24hrs...

I am going to comment on the best ones

@raghav - yours is a definite stand out. Simple and brandable. Any chance you can post a pic with it on the current template so I can check it out?

@Saves Th3 Day - I like what you've done too. Though I don't like the font and color of the word critic. Can you adjust that and maybe post a pic of it on the template?

@nabz - cool looking graphic, but it doesn't really fit with the theme of the site.

Thanks to everyone who's posted - keep em coming, still 3 days left til the competition ends

 

Surely, here you go:

whoops - Forgot to change the font

 

So I don't get any feedback? Nice...

 

@ragnav - does your logo come from a logo pack that you have bought? If so you need to disclose that. People are designing logos from scratch, and if you're simply putting my text on something pre-designed you should say so.

@Saves Th3 Day - yeah I dont like the font for critic, a thinner font like what's on ragnav's attempt would be better. I am also not a fan of that magnifying glass. Maybe a different magnifying glass image.

@nabz - Colors are perfect, but I think the left hand side graphic is a bit to overpowering

@dancam - I don't really like the way the logo is in a box and the graphics don't really suit the site

@pzn - sorry I missed yours. I reckon it's too bold and overpowering. And I would prefer some sort of graphic in there. Possibly use a thinner font?

 

In that case, you probably missed my badge/shield submission also. Anyways, I tend not to take these things personal. Good luck with whichever logo you select.

 

Sorry, it wasn't intentional

Yeah I went back and had a look. I don't think it really fits into the theme of the site. I am looking for more 2.0ish

 

@ramakrishna p - Sorry I missed yours as well. I like the cartoon, can u try putting just the cartoon in there and keeping the Directory Critic and other text on the outside. Also, make the circle smaller and maybe thicker with 2 colors or maybe a gradient. I like the fonts used it ragnav's design, so that's a good guide.

Thanks

 

Thanks for the feedback. I will post couple of updates soon.

 

Well the logo is from scratch only, I am not sure what do you mean by logo Pack, if that means premade logo template, i will simply say NO.
It is designed by me and i have full copyright on it, feel free to enquire if you want.
P.S You are mispelling my name
Thanks

 

Sorry for being rude, it's just I actually put effort into the logo and don't just want it to be overlooked.

Here are some revisions:





ps: This is the windows xp open folder icon. If you want me to create my own folder I will.

 

My another attempt. Thin and clean fonts. Feedback welcome.

Thanks for clearing that. I got your PM. The reason I asked is becuase it looked a lot like some other entries in a contest thread. Anyways, it's all your so thanks.

@justlikethat - I think it looks a bit plain, with a lot of whitespace. Colors are good (inc grey). I don't really like that inside of the mag glass.

@ramakrishna p - Your designs just keep getting better I like the way #1 has the critic guy coming out of the circle. I also like what you've done with the text (reflective bottom etc). A few suggestions. #1 Can you make the whole thing a bit smaller. #2 Can you put something else on the Critic's whiteboard (like a site, not a graph?) #3 Can you try some different fonts. I like the font color of the first example the best.

@pzn - Much better than the first one. Try making the words directory critic stand out a bit more from the folder and tagline.
