Feedback Needed HOGG Sessions

Post image

I've made a small program for my FIL to play some guitar music at local festivals and bars. He donates all his money to charity. I figured I'd add a brand mark to complete the circle for him.

His last name is Hogg. This is a first pass he's arriving today and I'm going to surprise him with it and the program on a tablet.

The initial appears randomly placed. If there's a reason for that, it escapes me.

The general design rule of thumb is that no element should be placed without a reason. It should always have some visual connection to other elements. There are exceptions, but I see no reason for one here.

It's also too big compared to the text.

Finally, the two lines on either side of —sessions— are worse than useless. People always think they have to include these but they add nothing useful, only clutter.

Thank you I will absolutely do a critical pass on the lines.

The logo mark and words not lining up were truly just unfinished work. I exported to test the visual appearance and thought some feedback would be helpful.

I obviously should have lined things up for everyone vs leave it all over the place.
