    Review my logo please.

    Hey,

    well this really isn't much for a logo, and it's the first one I've ever done. I don't really like it that much but someone else told me it was ok, so I wanted to ask you guys/girls your opinion.

    It's pretty basic, I'd like to do something more with the text, I'd like it to tie into the logo a little better, but I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to logo design.

    Thanks in advance, and please be honst.

    As far as logos go, this one is really now very good.

    My suggestions:
    1. lose the website design/development and everything below.
    2. Stack Jones Computer over Solutions
    3. Tools are ok, but shouldn't be behind the text.

    Keep trying, and post your revisions here.

    Well I wasn't too sure about that logo. I do have another version of it now, but it's not like the original logo.

    Maybe this one would look better ? (attached)

    Hi.

    I like the logo, the tools in the back are cool, but I would do something else with the text. There's a lot of text on the logo and the text at the bottom is a little hard to read.

    In the first logo, I guess I am missing the need for the hardware tools? They seem out of place for computer solutions. Maybe something more related? Or am I in leftfield?

    I like the second logo but without the legs, and too much text again ... the button below doesn't appeal to me either. But what do I know? lol

    The black in the hammer makes it a little hard to real.

    I think you need to remember what the purpose of a logo is
    It needs to be simple and fit well on a business card. You have to uch going on
    sorry if I seem to mean

    It looks good but make the text a different color and make the hammer and triangle look more realistic.

    The first logo looked out of place for the type of business. I expected to see an architect or a builder.

    The second is better.The large arrow graphic emphasizes movement, and when you have a problem (especially computer) you want movement!. The smaller graphic keeps the "wheels turning".

    You have way too much text on the logo though IMO. The customer should be able to look at the logo and get an idea of what the company is about. (My opinion again!)Loose the bottom graphic and the text underneath. Make the arrow point push along the little three-legged "cogs" and fit the company name into the resulting white space above.

    I took the liberty of playing with it a little. Hope that's okay!

    On both of the logos/business cards there seems to be way too much going on and it distracts from the message you are trying convey. For business cards in particular, less seems to be more.

    I am not a particular fan of the logo. I think it is hard to read and looks very grainy. Maybe if you played with it a bit more it would like better. I suggest relocating the handle of the hammer as it is blocking the text.

    The logo isn't any good. I say Cut out the words. And have a motto. Also the hammer makes it looks boring. Try using other things...maybe a symbol? like Microsoft's "Windows" or Sitepoint's Arrows?

    I think the logo with the running legs could be neat. I think there are too many running legs. Maybe just one set and the lose the half circle arrow and the blue ball. Those two things don't seem to mesh so it looks busy.

    I honestly think you are trying too hard. It's a business card... the purpose is to give out your contact information, not hand them a piece of artwork. Try something simpler.

    I think the background image is making it harder to read. Perhaps you can play with the opacity?

    I disagree. Business cards are extremely important. Customers can discover your company identity through them. However I agree, he needs to simplify the design.

    your designs are very sexy, but...

    it's too complicated.

    a logo needs to be as simple as possible... think mcdonalds, pepsi, etc.

    I dont belive that your creating a logo. You have only pictures. Try to create something that really name your company.

    think about using an outline color around the text to make it stand out. therefore it can be read behind the hammer grip or other dark colors
    is this for a business card?

    also i agree with silksmoke

    Hi,

    I like the image in the background and the image does reflect what the content suggests so its a good image relation which is always good for a logo. The only thing is that the text seems to sort of conflict with the background as it spans accross the image? Maybe a shuffle about or change the text title angle would make more of an impression and make the content stand out more.

    Other than that a great attempt, the image is really clean and crisp.

    Clean and simple logos are always the best. There seems to be too much text at the moment. I would add another to the pallette, as the black makes the logo appear dull.

    why a hammer?
    change the images to things that a more relevant; eg. computer, keyboard, mouse, etc.
