Tyler Crowder Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'm slowly learning the ropes to photoshop. After what took over two hours I managed to make a personal logo for myself. It's nothing special, just black and white with a hidden "TC" like the old Hartford Whalers logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Anderes Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Its a good start, but I would add some color and maybe change the font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the black and white version looks like a band logo. I'm not sure why. The 'TC' is really subtle, even to the point of looking like an odd symbol, but it's still solid. It's a great idea. I just don't know if that thin of a 'C'/'T' works. Maybe use a different font for that too? If you're focusing on seeing the 'T' better, rotate the logo 90 degrees so the 'T' is straight up. If you're focusing on the 'C', then keep it the same. I'm also not entirely sold on orange and blue. It's an upgrade, but I feel like you can do better.

slapshot Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 As a personal logo, there's way too many things going on. Your primary mark, which is the CT (I am guessing), is so overwhelmed by the text and surrounding roundel that it's almost lost. How would everything look in a 1/2" square box? Try looking at everything in a number of different sizes. Your logo looks more like a hockey or basketball logo. Your Photoshop skills seem clean, but you need to work on your design skills, so you will understand why the inconsistent line weights and overwhelming text are throwing off the balance of things. Work on the CT mark first. Make that a strong logo that can stand on its own, then work on integrating it with a wordmark.

TheHydroPole Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 You should be using Illustrator for this type of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Crowder Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Simpler is better. This is only version . I can see how all the lines and the two circles on either side can take away from the focal point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Crowder Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Back to the drawing board. Much simpler and cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
