I made this, it's still in draft form, but I wanted some feedback or maybe ideas. My friend said he wants the logo to befunky. LOGO IMAGE What do you think? -ruff
Sorry to disappoint but it looks too much as old clipart to be funky and lacks of "idea" to underline the logo name.
I actually had a hard time trying to figure out what it said. Took me a second to get it. It's best to keep fonts simple - use the supporting imagery (lightbulb) to make it interesting.
He actually liked it, but I think it needs more spunk. So here are some changes. Thanks for all the input!! Some Changes LIKE THE CHANGES? -Javier
I actually preferred the original but like someone else said I struggled to read what it said first. How about making the 'O' the lightbulb or something like that - liven it up using that rather than the font. It needs to be immediately 'readable' in my opinion.
Maybe experiment with red? Red outline to the filament? Red fill in a letter? Red underscore or underline? Third color seems to come to mind. I like the small bulb-like cut-outs inside the letters.
For me , it can be more creative if the lamp ilustrated in stylise view. Your lamp looks like too simple.
I would use a simpler font for "ideahouse" such as... www.dafont.com/zephyrean-brk.font?nb_ppp=50&af=on&text=IdeaHouse There are lots of other good funky fonts on that site as well. Even if you want it to be funky, you have to make sure that it's very easily readable in different sizes as well. Since your logo might eventually be used in a place that restricts it to a very small size visually. I would also suggest simplifying the lightbulb to eliminate the light/thin lines. Try to work with a black and white image that will work well first before you add colour to it. hope that helps! Actually have a read on my blog post, I have been designing a few logos very recently and blogged about it.
Its too basic for me can you add some flash mabye on the light bulb, perfect for dark coming into the light and spreading across in my opinion. As for reading the logo itself I'd add text somewhere so people can read it, as I can't nor can some of the previous commenters.
Thanks for the help everyone. I will see what I can do about that font. I have some more ideas to mess with... so i will keep this updated. Also I would like to hear what your ideas for the logo would be.
I think the light bulb would be better used as the dot over the "I" rather than alone. I'd also try a different font altogether; although this one suits the theme, it seems too amateur-ish. Keep working on it and I'm sure you'll make something great!
I think is too yellow the anothe image that Keronse suggest to you looks better. Also could help use some trick to simulate 3D in the ligth picture
You could really do a lot with the light bulb, a lot more than just having it sit there next to it. I would like to see some light coming off of it, make it interact with the other elements. Second, the type has too much going on, make it more simple and sleek. I quick (literally 5 minutes) slapped together these two images for you, just to give you an idea about what I'm talking about. These are just rough "sketches" (ideas) to give you an idea of what I (of course, I'm not your client) would do. and here's another idea: These are just some quick ideas of what you could do...take it and run with it...just trying to brainstorm a little.
I have just started an art and design forum It would be really good if the people who have posted here would join and make it a really great forum to be. As there are not many members so far but I have great hopes for the forum The forum is the 3rd site in my sig look forward to seeing you there!
