jsaleska Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I am a graphic designer graduating this semester and I need a logo to help market myself as well as to use on my business cards and website.All of the logos presented here play of the two main letters in my name j and sI?m not looking for something flashy. I want something that is simple yet unique. I also want something that catches the eye of creative directors.Which logo do you feel is the best designed? Better yet?which logo would help persuade you to hire me? If you feel those are stupid questions then please just comment on what you like or dont like about them.

gordie_delini Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 2 and 4 are your best. i'm not really seeing the j and s (maybe a bit in 2). please don't use aachen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsaleska Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Why dont you like Aachen? Do you feel it is overused or just ugly and bulky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Why dont you like Aachen? Do you feel it is overused or just ugly and bulky?I don't find it fitting for a graphic designer's logo; It works well for a basketball team or construction company logo, but not a graphic designer's.

I can't even tell what #2 is honestly. I'd say #3 is the second best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Acchen is all of the above: over used, ugly and bulky, but you can use whatever type you like as long as you use it in a manner befitting its aesthetic. That is to say, if you're going to use Aachen, you'd better make sure you carry the same bold, in-your-face aesthetic throughout your identity or contrast it with something thin and delicate. You'd also better find some unique things to do with the letterforms (stacking? multiple sizes? spacing? color?) to differentiate your identity from all the other Aachen identities around. On your examples, none of them are really giving me goosebumps. I get the SJ in most of them, but they're lacking a certain appeal that makes me want to look at them. Maybe, instead of going the symbol route, you could let your business card speak using a more unique form of 'logo' than this.

eRay Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 i would say 4 is the best so far, with 3 being second. i think you could work with #4 more to get something that really pops and works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Definitely #4It is so much easier to see the J & the S. I'm not overly fussed on the shape you have around the outside of it though, but overall #4 is by far the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I like 1 and 3. 2 looks like a restaurant logo and 4 is too plain even with the border.I suggest cleaning up the middle of the S so the the letter looks like it is folded to make the J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
