Evil G Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 No poll for this because I already did one today. I would also like to see discussion.So, I made a Stars gold/harvest gold concept and while that was happening I wondered, would logos look better unbeveled? I decided to make six concepts (so, yes, mods can be able to move this to concepts if they want, even though I really don't think it's good enough material for that subforum).Link for that: https://drive.google.com/?usp=chrome_app#folders/0B0E8Fv0QIMKASEd3czN0Ym1acmcI want to know what you think, would logos look better beveled or unbeveled?

oldschoolvikings Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I hate the current trend toward beveling. IMO, 9 out of 10 times it looks as though the designer was just grasping for a way to make a simple logo more interesting, when he/she probably should've just started over. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Really depends on the logo. I think the Stars and Astros new logos look much better beveled. Others don't look as good beveled, such as Texas A&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raysfan12 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Logos that look good without beveling:LAA AngelsHouston AstrosOklahoma State (my Favorite)Texas A&MThe only logos from the group that are better when beveled are the Tennessee Titans and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Chromatic Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I know I'm echoing the "depends on the logo" thought here, but a lot of it also depends on your personal preference of cleaner vs more detailed. I'm a fan of simple, clean logos so 9/10 times I'm going to say unbeveled, but if you like more detailed, dynamic logos you might prefer a beveled to non-beveled the majority of the time.This is obviously referring to a logo that isn't objectively better one way or another.

crashcarson15 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 IMO, Texas A&M and maybe the Angels are the only ones of the group that look better unbeveled.The Titans' identity is just a giant mess while I think the Jackets, Oklahoma State, and Astros use beveling well.

BadSeed84 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I don't get why the light blue flame would be gone in the titans logo, thats not a bevel.It should look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I never understood people on here writing off an entire design element in all instances.Gradients, bevels, copperplate, piping, they all have their place.And btw, if you've ever actually created bevels you'll know it's in no way "lazy," there is no "bevel tool" or "bevelize" filter...

They can be ultra difficult to create depending on the situation and need to be perfectly aligned or else they don't work. Its kind of all or nothing with a bevel.In regards to the Titans logo, I disagree with the above poster. I totally believe that it needs the bevel and does not quite have the same impact of evoking strength and power without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Wolf Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm not 100% against beveling, but I'd say I'm probably around 75% or so against it. I'd actually like to see more logos un-beveled just so see what they look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugevolsfan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think it depends as well.of the logos shown here Titans, blue jackets I think look better with beveling.Houston & Texas A & M have classic looks & do not need the beveling for sure.
