undead Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I designed my first ever personal logo. It's funny but my initials are BS. I tried to integrate them both in the design. Do you see them? Does it work? What needs to be changed? Portfoliobobschultz6' class="bbc_url">@bobschultz6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missouri tigers Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I like it. It reflects the style of your work quite nicely IMO.My one suggestion would be to make the gaps that separate it from being a B/S even rather than slanted. Just to simplify it a little more.

winters in buffalo Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Agree with MT. Straighten out the white space, and you have yourself a solid logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Doctor Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Have to disagree, I think the uneven slants are a nice design feature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Have to disagree, I think the uneven slants are a nice design feature...If the thickness of the letter was the same in both places, I too would disagree. But that makes everything look uneven to me. Nice start to this, I think that one change would make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Very clever integration of the two letters. This looks miles better than most of the "professional" personal logos I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSauer21 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Have to disagree, I think the uneven slants are a nice design feature...I agree with him, it would look better the way it is. It looks great. My Website/Portfolio: jsa-designs.devianart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The uneven lines of what space make it look "sloppy". You want your personal logo to reflect yourself in the best light possible. Having an unclean, unfinished persona logo will make clients believe that you don't 100% commit to your work...Clean up the lines and you have yourself a great start to a brand with potential...

GFB Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Bob, you have two main directions of lines: one at about -15 degrees horizontally and the other at about -15 degrees vertically. Construct your ligature's lines along those two axis. Or, you could do what I do and construct the whole logo along a perfect horizontal and vertical axis, then apply the skew at the end of the process to the exact degree you want.

undead Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks for all the input guys. I will try your suggestions and see what I come up with. It's always nice to have your help.

undead Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 How about this one? I made the white spaces even. Portfoliobobschultz6' class="bbc_url">@bobschultz6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Much better. I think you could even go further. Make it almost an 8. Remove the curves from one end, or go with curves throughout. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDX Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I stil l struggle to see the B, perhaps try having it straight instead of on a slant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 For me it's easier to see the B with the first one. I think the original is the better of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 A suggestion... maybe add more "B" like curves to the logo. It right now only looks like a stylized "S", and any connection to a "B" is lost... Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Ah, it's getting there, but it still doesn't feel right. I like the cleanliness and symmetry of it-- and I think that portrays a good artist (as Clif was saying). So you've got that part down with the overall design. But my issue here is as others have said, I'm looking at it and I only see an 'S'. I went in to Paint and filled in the gaps, and it made a very odd 'B'. Here's what I'm talking about:While it is undoubtedly the letter 'B', it feels a little bit too stylized for some reason. I think the issue lies in the center horizontal line for the 'S'. The angle is a little too high, maybe. That's what I see as the culprit for making it look too much like an 'S' and not enough like a 'B', as that line is closer to parallel with the baseline in most cases.

Evil Doctor Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 How about this one? I made the white spaces even.I think I know why I like the uneven version better. This looks more static, the orginal looked like it was getting set to take off running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undead Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I want to thank all of you for your effort you're putting into this.@JQK - that's a really nice job you did on that one. I can see the B and the S easily. I'm trying to get a really simple version of this first. If I can't do it, I'll consider going your route.@drdougfresh - I was thinking the problem was the center line not being horizontal too. Here's one with the angles approaching horizontal.I think I can see the B better but I don't know. I've looked at this damn thing too damn long, I think.I little more help would be appreciated. I think we're getting closer. Portfoliobobschultz6' class="bbc_url">@bobschultz6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 definitely on the right track but i think you could simplify it a bit more. heres what i was thinking GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think that looks nice, but with the colors as is, all I see is the S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
