Logo

[a-w]

I am trying to make a logo for greeting cards site...Card-Perfect. I tried this and also tried different line colors, fonts etc.

Will appreciate any comments/suggestions!

Hi a-w,
Your graphic uses Moonbeam-Bold font which is not a standard Windows font and therefore not on my system.
I'm almost sure that the font you chose was a very important part of the appearance of your logo, so it would not be fair to comment on the way it appears on my system without Moonbeam-Bold installed.

Rather than uploading your .xar file, please just export the logo as a .jpg for members of the forum to view.

We''l be able to make more useful comments then

Here you go...

Looks like the decender for the p ran away. I think that having some sort of decender would be better than nothing. Without the decender many people would just read the logo as a reversed C an not a p...

Aside from Johns comments on the 'P' - I'm not sure about the sphere. My inclination would be to go for a part opened blank two-fold card as the logo image. I know it's a bit of a stereotype, but well there's still plenty of scope for something unique. The text needs a font that has some 'punch', something that says what it is without any doubt..
Also Logos are often and commonly very simple solid colour designs that can look great printed in colour, black & white or greyscale.
Check this thread started by Remi.

a-w: both initial 'letters' are shapes not font, is that deliberate? Perhaps if you put the letters in the shapes?

A bit like this ... only better

Hi A-W
Perhaps you could explain some of your thinking regarding the design you made. For instance if you had to explain it to a client, how would you do so? Trying that here can be good safe practice but also give us more to comment constructively on. I like Sledger's idea about a card shape but we don't know why you have the green circle shape and if it has some significance.

Honestly, it is very amateur. Not only in terms of technical skill, but primarily from the point of taste.
It makes no sense to design logos without first having good taste. If you absolutely cannot afford to let it be created by a professional, it is much safer to use a simple typographic logotype using some balanced typeface.

Josie,

I'm surprised at your comments. I believe the forums here are to encourage members endevours. Your response is negative and in no way adds to the posters original question for further ideas and therefore adds nothing to the thread but to demoralise the original poster.

Your previous posts haven't been along these lines, so why this negativity now?

I'd be inclined to keep it simple and
use a card as the logo.
Lovely font, dream orphans.ttf
