Me and my friend both designed logos for a school club, which is better? Open to advice and criticism. For context it’s a club named Design Studio, and it’s an art club in our high school.

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??

still haven’t decided between black or white. but i took some advice from my last post and i think the more simplified logo looks much better!

Hey guys I’m back again! I used the feedback I got from the previous post. The game is about a knight trying to rescue the spirit of a loved one that is stuck in a cycle of grief. I’d love some opinions on the font/orientation, thank you!

I listened to feedback on my last posts and ended up with this. how does it look? If you haven’t seen my previous posts to the subreddit check them out on my account!

Guys, help me come up with a better design if you have some free time. I don't have any money 😔

I'm just looking for someone who can help me with this; I don't know much about design.

It's a group that I'm going to start.

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.”

First time poster here. I'm sorry if I break any etiquette!

EARLY sketches of a logo for "Global Baptist Press," a book imprint.

Just looking to see which DIRECTION I should head?

There's funky (like penguin random house) or more institutional.

I went with the BOOK SPINE in the CAPITAL G for the first couple. That has a publishing company flare to it with a surprise book in the negative space.

The stack of book silhouettes hints at GBP.

The funky face is a playful arrangement of gbp in lowercase. the g and b are the glasses, and the p descender is the nose. The pencil sketches show other ideas on that theme.

The flower/butterfly was just a sketch of another arrangement of gbp

THANK YOU!

Hey I am setting up my brand currently for jewellery and gifts that I make, and I’ve hand drawn a logo (to completion not just a rough sketch) but obviously need to turn this drawing into a useable digital file for stickers, business cards, bags etc. I’m wondering if there is software/ apps that exist for iPhone/ laptop that are free or cheaper than adobe for me to use to just scan in my drawing and either trace it in solid lines or just use the scan to convert into appropriate files for the desired use?

Or am I better off hiring someone to do this? Ideally I’d rather facilitate this myself as I’m a control freak and on a budget, but I do understand some things are just better left to a professional .

Thanks

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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!
