DTConcepts Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hey guys, I made this logo for an upcoming project, see below. It's based off the Empire State Building in New York, but looks a little phallic. Any way to help on that front? Sorry for the excessive watermark, by the way.

D3 Designs Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Maybe extend the base vertically a bit to avoid the testicular comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Try making the white part straight down instead of having the wider portion at the base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3 Designs Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The second one to me seems the most representative of the Empire State building, but both are improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one looks best to me, but in my original suggestion, I wouldn't have had you change the blue at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'd say your first post looks the most like the Empire State Building, and the two updates aren't necessarily an improvement. Particularly the update with the extra boxy base doesn't clearly come across as the Empire State Building to me because it's way too compressed. Two thoughts to get rid of the phallic look: - Add a spire on the top that protrudes from the circle - Add one or two thin blue vertical lines within the white area since the Empire State Building has similar looking shadows on two of its sides.

JJ Anderes Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I like the simplicity of each of these, but the first logo is definitely my favorite. To me this looks like a Knicks concept. If that's what it is, a basketball might look cool in the orange area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
