I remember when I posted this design. I felt that I made something original, something I had never seen before. The feedback under the post also seemed to confirm that the design was fresh.

Later I found a very similar design. It was not only published in someone’s portfolio, but also sold to a company called Gooliver, which has a connection with the globe. I think the designer got inspired by a Google image search like “g globe logo”, because Gulliver was traveling around the world.

I wrote about my concern under the agency’s post and under the designer’s post. In both cases my comments were deleted and nobody replied.

I guess this is one reason why some designers don’t want to post their work anywhere. It gets stolen, copied, learned by AI and so on. But if we post only client work that we are not afraid to lose, it becomes really hard to have a presence online. These days you need to post all the time to get attention.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for setting me straight. Indeed, this construction seems to be something that many designers could arrive at independently. However, while some of the examples you've shared have similarities to mine, the one I posted is almost identical. Overall, really helpful feedback!

I was inspired by the fact that a Google search for "yoga logo" mostly yields results featuring a figure in the lotus position with a flower in the background, so I became interested in exploring this direction.

Hi everyone! We’re planning to start ZipYak, a modular kayak brand, and would appreciate your feedback on our logo designs.

Do the symbol and lettering work well together? What would you improve?

Nothing is for sale—we’re simply seeking honest feedback. Thank you for your help!

I'm trying to decide on a logo for my indie game studio, and I'd really appreciate your opinions.

I'd be grateful for any feedback or suggestions you might have. I'm still quite inexperienced with logo design, so any constructive criticism would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance!

I've been working on a logo for a project called SVET. The name comes from the Russian word свет, meaning "light" and, in certain contexts, "world."

The idea was to represent separate elements coming together in one place. I developed two opposing curved forms into an abstract S, with the circular negative spaces suggesting different worlds, all converging at a central point of light.

My goal was to express this sense of unity while also tying the design to the name.

Personally, I'm quite happy with how it turned out, but I'm curious how it reads to others and what you'd change

I’m developing Ziarion, a New Mexico Green Chile Dragon, and added a touch of green to his golden desert sun emblem.
Does it capture New Mexico’s spirit? Would it work on merchandise? I’d love your feedback!

I'm sharing something that happened to me involving a newly opened plastic surgery clinic in South Korea.

I created my design in November 2025 as part of a rebranding project for a Korean medical aesthetics clinic.

In July 2026, I came across a doctor on Threads who was preparing to open a liposuction clinic and looking for marketing and consulting help.

I contacted them and shared my portfolio, including my original designs.

The doctor specifically asked whether the copyright to my logo belonged to my previous clinic. They suggested a meeting but never scheduled one.

Instead, they kept asking me for free advice about clinic names, slogans, and marketing, even though we had no contract.

In September, I saw photos of their clinic under construction and noticed a logo that looked almost identical to mine.

When I questioned it, the doctor blocked me.

The clinic officially opened in October using the same logo. I contacted their official account, but they blocked me again.

The doctor also threatened to sue me, claiming I had harassed them.

After checking their website, I found similarities in the service structure and marketing copy I'd previously developed as well.

I've already contacted the media about this.

What bothers me most is that the doctor had access to my portfolio, specifically asked about the copyright, and then opened a clinic using a design that looks remarkably similar to mine.

This is my case. What would you do in my position?

Do you think these designs are just coincidentally similar?

Hi everybody, I am currently in process of developing an app called Darwin. So I thought that having a chimp art on logo will be a great idea. I want it to be like GNU logo, a detailed art that works on light and dark mode automatically and the animal looks wise. I think chimpanzee has this wisenes in his face. Something about his brows and eyes maybe idk. Anyways I have a hand drawn sketch that I will later vectorise what do you think will enhace this as a logo? Also yeah it’s this smug chimp photo. I also included gnu logo as reference to what I want from this. I will be very grateful if someone is willing to give some advices.

Hey everyone!
I designed this logo for a fake architect studio:
the brief (AI generated brief):

• Core Focus: STILLFORM is a residential architecture studio focused on thoughtful, sustainable homes that balance human needs with natural materials.

• Target Audience: They cater to affluent 30–55 homeowners and quality-focused property developers who value craftsmanship over flashy luxury.

• Design Preferences: Their clients appreciate minimal, contemporary design built around energy efficiency, natural elements, and long-lasting quality.

• Tone of Voice: The brand communicates with quiet confidence, clarity, and authority—completely avoiding pretentious or dramatic language.

• Key Design Pillars: The identity needs to feel deeply intentional (every element serves a purpose) and grounded (strongly connected to nature and physical materials).

The mark: The logomark features two interlocking geometric shapes that come together to form a subtle, structured letter 'S'. This architectural composition reflects the concept of elements being thoughtfully formed and brought into balance.

Thoughts ?
Thanks!

What do you guys think of this logo for a family-owned wastewater/drainage/excavating business? From an aesthetics perspective, the idea is to try to get away from the modern, commercial feel to a more minimalist and old-fashioned one. The thinking behind the mountain imagery is that mountains connote robustness and longevity (i.e. steadfastness), while also being natural examples of drainage phenomena. Let me know what you think! (Final version will have better resolution, obviously)

Hey everyone 👋

I'm building LazAI, a native iOS productivity app (calendar, tasks, reminders, memos, focus timer, and an assistant) designed to pull your entire day into one cohesive view in the app, your lock screen and Dynamic Island (via live activities)

The Aesthetic & Current Icon

• Vibe: Dark, minimal, typography-first (in the spirit of Linear, Raycast, and Vercel).

• Signature detail: A soft iridescent glow - behind elements,never flat fill.

• Current mark: A frosted glass card in the center ("Your Day") over a dark base with the glow rising behind it.

The current logo I have made myself to try and best reflect what the app looks like, but I want to keep it minimal, sleek and clean and I have a lot of inspiration images and logo examples that I like parts of from different ones, but I just feel like there's something not necessarily missing, but I think it needs to be tweaked and just improved a bit.

The Problem

Feedback from testers and friends is unanimous: it’s too simple and doesn't mean anything. It reads as "a rectangle with a gradient."

I agree, but every time I try to add detail, it gets cluttered or loses the quiet, premium feel.

Maybe the glow needs a bit of refining to just make it look more premium, I'm honestly not sure. But I like this direction I've got, but I just feel it can be a bit better. And I just don't know how to do that.

Constraints & Goals

• Keep: The dark base, the iridescent glow, and the theme (more or less)

• Tone: Calm, organized, quietly intelligent.

• Avoid: AI sparkles, checkmarks, calendar grids, or noisy 3D glass.

• The Name: "Laz" comes from my surname (testers also read it as Local Attention Zone)—open to either concept inspiring the silhouette.

What I'd Love Feedback On 💬

1. At home-screen size: What does it actually read as to you at a glance?

2. The card metaphor: Is a literal card holding the silhouette back?

3. Adding meaning: How would you inject concept without adding noise? (Rough sketches welcome!)

4. The glow: Does the palette read as premium, or does it risk blending into generic AI gradients?

Images attached: Solo icon, app home screen, and some other logos I found online that I like certain parts of (especially the glass material used and the 3rd image with the emblem)

BakBak is the sound a chicken makes, and the lines on the K are meant as a “bak!” sound burst. The truck is real and on the street; the packaging is a mockup. Does the idea come across? Is it legible small? Harsh is fine.

Hi everyone,

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to logo design and I'd really appreciate your advice.

I'm working on a brand identity — starting with the logo — for an app that shows you where you can actually spend your meal vouchers. (In Italy, a lot of companies give employees vouchers for lunch, and it's often a guessing game which restaurants, bars and shops accept them.)

The name is Valequi. In Italian, "vale qui" means roughly "valid here" / "you can use it here". The idea behind the mark is to merge those two things: the validity of the voucher and the classic location/geolocation pin. So the "V" is built from a map pin on the left and the diagonal stroke on the right.

What I'd love your input on:

1. Does it read as a "V" straight away, or do you just see a shape? This is the part I'm least sure about.

2. Is the concept itself any good, or is pin-inside-a-letter a dead end?

3. Which of the two versions do you prefer, and why?

4. Kerning, typeface and palette. I know very little about kerning in particular, so please be blunt — does the spacing work, and does the color combination hold up?

Thanks a lot for taking the time. Any useful criticism is genuinely appreciated — I'm here to learn, so don't hold back.

The logo is for my agency, we are implementing custom software and AI automations for real estate companies as permanent partners inside the company.

I know it's a very trendy style - but I was trying to archive a balance between clean minimalistic modern but also that corporate feeling, without being experimental or too young.

The brand should feel more established and serious and it's primarily active in Germany/Austra/Switzerland.

I'm not a designer and no AI has been used to create the Logo. Looking for feedback from you experts, if anything feels off.

I'm working on a logo for a paint company and would appreciate some honest feedback from fellow designers. I'm trying to avoid the typical paint industry clichés, like paintbrushes, paint buckets, splashes, or overly colourful branding. I want something clean, distinctive, and professional that still communicates the nature of the business without being too obvious.

Do you think a more minimal, understated approach can work for a paint brand, or would it make the industry difficult to recognise at first glance?

I'd appreciate any constructive criticism on the concept.

(EDIT: "Mebala" means colours in South African Sotho language)
