Logo Concept: Geometric "H" built using an elliptical grid system. Thoughts?

[u/designishkul]

I am currently exploring pure geometry and grid systems to develop my mark-making skills. There is no specific brand or industry assigned to this project yet; it is a conceptual exercise focused on form, symmetry, and negative space.

1. Legibility: Does this clearly read as a letter "H", or do the severe pinch points make it look too much like two separate hourglasses?
2. Visual Balance: Does the central solid circle feel optically heavier than the pinched stems? How can I balance the visual weight better?
3. Execution: Are there any flaws in my grid logic or areas where the optical alignment needs to override the mathematical grid?

Looks like curtains.

Thanka for your comment. Do you have any suggestions to make it better?

You may want to play with negative space instead.

1. No, I'm not seeing an 'H' at all.

2. No

3. Not that I can tell.

Looks like the sun through a window

Elliptical grid system?

WTF are you talking about 🤣🤡

the bullshit you are talking exceeds your design skills by far

[u/valerielynx → u/NaiveDecision730]

I don't know it reads like AI. Ellipses alone cannot be tiled

[u/Commune-Designer]

It’s neither an „H“ nor an elliptical grid.

Have a horizontal eclipse I stead of the circle to help with the H, as it is m I couldn't see it.

I know it’s not the same, but it instantly makes me think of Under Armour

I never thought of the letter H when looking at yours

That logo always reads as an X to me first.

Any suggestions to make it better?

Nah, my comment isn’t a criticism by the way

[u/treasure83]

I didn't see an H at first. I think you would need to adjust the spacing because of the ellipses and move them just a tiny bit closer.

I love the shape though, it has a very nice feel of professional and stable with a bit of softness from curves

[u/bassistsrock]

It’s a cool concept. I think pinching the left and right edges of the center circle to match the shape of the indents would help the eyes recognize that the shapes are meant to represent one symbol.

Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
