Re: Mark321's THIRTY LOGOS assignments
I think the two-tone wine shape would work better if the right-hand side of the reflection followed the curvature of the glass.
I'm not convinced that the arrow shape works at all. Good font choice, though.
The drop of wine works to convey motion, though...but not everyone will see that.
If an arrow is essential, it would possibly work better under the text.
EDIT:
The mock up is not working either, the glass has to be transparent.(my wife thought the wine in the glass looked like a kidney spewing blood)
needless to say, my wife says that she wouldn't drink the wine. ;)) :-O

FUNNY!!=D> I re-did the logo. I changed the shape of the reflection but, alas, I could only change the wine shape but so much as I suck at using curves (need more practice). The glass is now transparent. I feel you were right that the wine drop did a great way to communicate motion without the arrow, one too many elements.

Dang. Now, there's five colors. Had to get rid of the black in the text. And I got rid of that obnoxious white stroke around the text:

You might want to consider the verisimilitude...I also added a swoosh to give the illusion of movement.
My wife says she likes the drip...don't lose the drip!

I didn't consider realism (truth) only because I had liked the "stylized" version of the glass. But I thought I'd try it your way and here's what I got:
Attachment 118247
Do you like it more or less than my last version of the glass?:confused:
I'm still not sure of how many colors I've created. I was shooting for four but I'm not sure if I have 5. And, I believe that the tilting of the glass creates an illusion of motion too.
Dang. Glass is way too thick. This should fix it:

It's a long way from where you started, and you knew it wasn't right at your first attempt, so things are moving right along. :cool:

Assignment LOGO #27
Attachment 118256 Attachment 118257
Usually people know the name of their company. But not always. This is one such company. They expected me to come up with a name and an app icon for the logo. The company uses an app to track your results of your exercise workout routines. However, this company markets to professional athletes. At first I thought of Fitbit but knew we couldn't us that because it was already taken. Then I came up with the name "In Shape" & "The Shape of Things to Come". And, finally settled on "Shape". When I was drawing the icon, I drew a heart monitor thingy with the pulsing device pulsing up and down (while moving left to right). But decided a heart monitor was not as moving as an actual heart (symbol of heart and not the atomically correct organ). I made an image of a heart that was in motion, simple transparencies made the image. The font I chose was "DayPosterBlack".
Impressions? I'm not too crazy about this image. Perhaps because I don't personally like apps. The images are too small to really have fun creating. Cons? It was hard brainstorming ideas for this image. And I chose the color purple because one of the meanings of the color purple is "Greatness". And I felt people who used this app were aspiring to greatness. Incidentally, I've been having trouble accepting the color white as a color. So, in-place of the color white, I used 5% black, instead. You see, in photography, when you edit a picture you don't let huge areas of white dominate the image or else you have this huge gap in the photo because printers don't really print any ink at all in order to produce white. Which, looks hideous in a photo. So, always print the image with SOME color at all, usually off-white (of some sort). And that's why I chose to replace white with 5% black (off-white).
I don't know what to think of this image. I'm not sure I've create something a client would like (except for the cool name). What say you?

Re: Mark321's THIRTY LOGOS assignments
I think your tagline is better than the logo name. "Track" might actually work as well, if not better, as the name for the logo.
It's very hot here today (33º), I have only one idea (one-track mind!) try a patterned font as a word mark. Think IBM.
The consensus here in this house is that the purple would only attract "Girly" interest, to the exclusion of half the planet.

Re: Mark321's THIRTY LOGOS assignments
Track would be better. If using this or Shape the font needs to be more curvy.
If you follow Bob's bottom font suggestion, then a running track, with lanes, would be a powerful adjunct surrounding the word.

Wait a minute. The tag line is invisible. How's this?

Re: Mark321's THIRTY LOGOS assignments
I would lose the red shape/white X (unless you can tell me what it signifies). I like the font, but not the curve on it. Black would be better, that red is RED.
I honestly think that the word on its own would look more powerful (and that's what you want, right).
We all know that we can do fancy and remarkable things with graphics programs, but sometimes there is no need.
It has been said many times on TG, but it doesn't lose its relevance:- "Keep It Simple, Stupid!" :cool:
