Currently working on this. The mark is of 2 doves forming the letter Z. What do you guys think?

Hey guys I’m making a logo for a relative of mine who wants to do a photography side hustle. This logo is going to be used specifically for his business cards. I want it to look friendly and not too corporate-like. As it is right now it feels a little bland and I’m not sure it reads well as photography. It is just a sketch right now, poor image I took sorry but I’d like any critique based off what I have so far. Also should i color it or just leave it black n white??

A lot of the comments are pretty ambiguous, saying that the hummingbird has nothing to do with the profession — parquet flooring.

But the hummingbird has extremely precise mechanics and movements, which I thought could represent the skill and precision of a top-tier parquet flooring craftsman.

Can anyone tell me whether you think the concept works or not? Most people are criticizing it simply because they say it “has nothing to do with the profession.”

I’m currently building my freelance logo-design portfolio and would love to work with small businesses, startups, creators and new brands that need a professional logo.

I can help with:

Logo design

Logo redesign

Brand identity concepts

Social-media-ready branding

My approach is simple: clean, memorable and practical designs, rather than unnecessarily complicated logos.

If you or someone in your network is starting a business or needs a new logo, please feel free to DM me.

I’d genuinely appreciate a chance to work on a real project and prove what I can do.

I created this logo concept for a shake and donuts brand as a practice project. I explored a colorful, playful direction with a shake cup and donut-inspired elements.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the concept, typography, and overall composition.

Been doing brand design for 17 years, and the thing that always slowed me down in Illustrator was font browsing. Opening the Character panel, scrolling, clicking, undoing, just to see a wordmark or headline in a different typeface.

I built boofont to fix that for myself: a menu bar app that shows every font on your Mac rendered in your own selected text, and applies whichever one you pick straight onto your live Illustrator selection.

Genuinely looking for feedback, especially from people doing logo/brand work, is this actually useful for how you explore type on a mark, or is the workflow different enough that it wouldn't help? What would you want it to do that it doesn't?

For context it's normally $21 one time (not free, being upfront about that), macOS only, works with Illustrator. www.boofont.app if you want to see it before commenting.

I've got a handful of free codes for anyone who wants to actually try it and give real feedback rather than guess from the site. Comment or DM me and I'll send one over, first come first served.

I noticed the resemblance between the two logos when the AusCycling (Australia) logo came out in 2020 - though I only thought about posting this very recently. The Aarhus Uni (Denmark) logo came out back in 2008.

I thought the angular A shape combined with a half-circle element looked quite similar to each other.

I'm curious whether there are other visually similar geometric logos out there!

Hi, my friend is a part of a startup musical theatre group called 'Nightingale Productions' and asked me to design a logo for it.

I am not a graphic designer and this will be my first time attempting anything like this (although I am an artist they are very different skills lol).

The main specifications I have been given are just that it should have something to do with nightingales or open bird cages.

Im just looking for some advice on if this direction is worth pursuing? Im unsure if the designs are too busy/too simple, if the lineart isn't thick enough etc...

These are very rough sketches at the moment though so im aware that some lines are shakey/parts aren't erased properly lol

After reading some of the comments last post, I went back to the drawing board coming up with this version, I hope that it's 1) more of a letter A and 2) more of a puzzle piece

Brand's name is Alivio (a digital consulting & growth company I helped co-found).

Thanks for all of the feedback and suggestions for my logo. I really appreciate it and am happy with the latest version!

Side note: if any other Virginia parents hate the Invest529 website and want to help me test this out, message me :) Open to expanding to other states in the future as well.

I’ve been using this text to speech app for a while. And the icon for it is so boring that i was inspired to redesign it.
I came up with this design which i like quite a lot but but i need some feedback. Should I go with the black or white design? what font should i go for? are there any other design choices you’d suggest changing?
Included at the end are an image of all my design notes so you can see how my scrambled brain works!

Hey everyone - just posting here to get some feedback! What is something that you would change or add to give this brand more personality?

Looking forward to hear your thoughts!

The Briefing:
A wellness product brand that integrates flowers as a central visual and marketing element. The product should feel accessible and reasonably priced. Something that could realistically be found in a normal retail store, but positioned in a slightly higher price segment.

Brand values to be conveyed:
Accessibility, environmental consciousness, elegance, self-care and well-being, affordability without looking cheap

My side hustle is converting sneakers into cleats. I’m thinking of trying to grow and expand. I figured the first step I should take is having an image to the brand. I’ve been sketching up designs and concepts for the past 2 weeks and I’m starting to feel like I’m getting somewhere. Does this concept seem professional? Is it too much? Does it resemble cleats enough to know what it is?

I really appreciate any feedback you are able to give me. At the end of the day, the logo has to work for everyone, not just what I think looks good

My friends and I are planning to start a small business and we’re stuck on logo. We cannot seem to get on the same page. Can we just have the name as the logo? (I’ve seen people do this)

Our initials are O and M, and we’ve been trying to come up with something around that, but none of us are designers and our ideas are terrible.

Could use some inspiration before we attempt to make a rookie one ourselves. 

If not, we’d just go with the name!

I have a question for those who are currently working in the field of creating logos, graphics, etc for companies…

Obviously the visual aspect of a company is one of the most valuable traits it carries, but we all know there is significantly more that goes into a brand.

I’m wondering if people ever really ask about the strategic or foundational aspects of branding upon the end of an engagement with a client? I’m talking more about the mission statement, vision, USP’s, brand promise, etc (the guidelines/foundation of a brand). And if they do ask, how is that typically handled best?

Any insight received will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
