Logo Critique, S'il Vous Plait.

SpicyDuck · 5 Feb 2008 at 15:35

I've just spent 20 minutes working on a concept, which may or may not be used on my new site, once it's complete. The concept is a logo, and is supposed to capture myself, in the character of the big 'P' which is (or should be) in a round-a-bout shape of a dog or any 4-legged animal of that sort.

What do you think? I'm quite pleased with it myself, but I may use a different colour scheme in the end.

Im not seeing the dog..

Damn! I thought it probably wouldn't be obvious.

The dog is the big black 'P', with a mouth and a horizontally-flipped 'h' for the back and legs, behind it.

But yeh, it doesn't work if I have to explain it. Back to the drawing board!

Ok, I've exaggerated the dog as much as I could, before it started to become a little too complicated for my liking.

I'm quite happy with the changes there, but I want to figure something else out with the eye.

My main concern with a border around the 'P', is that it takes it out of the realm of 'slightly childish' and into the realm of 'the Japanese-esque confused artist'.

It makes it just a little too rounded for my liking. Saying that, when I remove all colours in that style, it works quite well. So I'll get to work on colour scheme-ing it.

I like it Remember though, colourless (mono/duotones) can be adapted later (which is why the best logos are).

Poor work I know, but this is what your logo makes me think of

Haha, that's great!

Not been able to make any changes so far as I'm working. But the colourless version is pretty much where it's going to stay. Maybe with a solid fill, as opposed to an outline.
