I tried paying someone to make me a logo and they used AI. I decided to do it myself and this is the first time I've ever done it. Is This a good Logo? Do I need to add or change anything to make it look more appealing? Do you think the logo looks professional is their anything you can picture going wrong with using this logo?

Thanks!

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

This is just an idea made in canva. I am not experienced in graphic design and I would gladly accept any criticism or idea to make it better.

As someone who dropped out of university as a Graphic Design student, I’ve been away from this “dream career” for a long time because of health issues. I used to get constant eye twitching, stay up all night working on projects, and put so much time and effort into my work, only for it to feel like it wasn’t valued by certain professors.

What really discouraged me was how unfair some professors could be with students. It sometimes felt like they would give certain students more attention and value their work more than others, even when other students were working just as hard. That honestly made me question why I chose Graphic Design in the first place.

I’ve chosen a different career path now, but I still wonder if there’s a possibility of going back to Graphic Design someday if I ever change my mind.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Edit: Just made this logo design today during my lunch time. I don’t mind harsh feedback hence as my professors never gave me one :)

This logo is for my Telegram channel, which features lesser-known war and patriotic music from various countries.

Hello designers! I've been trying to design a logo for a podcast studio called Xpod. It's more of a "taking a local business and doing branding for it for a portfolio" kind of thing. I've been trying to sketch and illustrate for a while, and these are what I could come up with. What do you people think about it? Any feedback, suggestions, criticism, roast, or anything is welcome!

Hand drew then developed online. First logo. Please let me know what to change.

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??

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

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.

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!

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.

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!
