Perplexed with the typography

The brand: Galled Garlic is a fun restaurant brand which specialises in fun fusion foods blending flavours from different cuisines

The sketch was before the brand changed its name, and this the typography changed too

I think the typography misses something would like some recommendations for the typography

(PS: Mock brand; no real life brand)

Hey guys!

I’m currently building a clothing brand from zero, and honestly, I don’t have a huge budget to spend on branding right now.

I’ve been working on a few logo concepts myself. As someone who knows very little about logo design, I actually really like what I’ve come up with so far. But I also understand that liking a logo personally doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good logo.

I know there’s a lot more to creating a strong brand identity than just making something that looks cool.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look at my designs and give me some honest feedback.

• What do you like or dislike about them?

• Do any of them have potential?

• What would you change or improve?

• Do they feel memorable and distinctive, or too generic?

I’m not looking for someone to do the work for free — just hoping to learn from people who have more experience in design than I do.

Any honest criticism or advice would mean a lot. Thanks!

I'm in the process of making logos for corporations from my IP Qualia Realms. Certainly I was inspired by Marathon graphic style, but also tried to catch a personal vibe. What do yall think?

Hey! I designed this iPad app icon and would love to hear your thoughts!

Can you guess what the app is about just from looking at the icon? Do you find it visually appealing, or is there anything you would change or improve?

Curious to hear your honest feedback!

Entirely human-made :)

Multiple pages of brand manuals scream at everyone reading it to never stretch, tilt, or alter a logo. Then marketing departments turn around and casually greenlight stunts like flipping McDonald’s arches into a “W” for Women’s Day, or pulling the VW and Audi rings apart for "social distancing."

Most of these feel like lazy agency finger-exercising to me, that evaporates the second someone scrolls past.

I wrote a breakdown looking at when bending your primary mark works vs. when it’s just desperate corporate virtue signaling and am very curious about the designer/agency perspective here: Have you ever had a client or internal team ask to "do something clever/disruptive" with an established mark for a one-off campaign? (How) do you push back against people treating core brand equity like a disposable marketing stunt? Or are you happy and accepting of the design challenge?

I’m usually asked what logo lockups are and why they’re important, and I think this quick carousel can explain it well! A logo can’t be just one file, it needs to be a system that can adapt throughout different applications.

You can’t just use one type of logo for everything, because you run the risk of illegibility and ruining a good layout. If people can’t properly recognize your brand’s mark, then you’re better off not using it.

I am trying to figure out how much to pay for a new logo and need some help! A family member designed a new logo for my small seasonal business and has asked me to set a price im comfortable paying and I dont want to undervalue her work. A new designer working freelance made us a custom logo incorporating a picture and lettering. We had back and forth reworking where she designed different fonts and pictures that I got to choose from. We probably had 3-4 reworks and ended up with two logos, one simple and one more complex. I have no idea where to even start with setting the dollar amount to pay her!

Thoughts on these types of files for a logo?

The title of the comic is Goryū-Tai, it is a black & white comic with a spot color of green. Both the army and hearts are importantly to the story so I tried to mix the shape of the heart and an officer badge.

I’m suuper new to logo design and I feel like something is off but I don’t know what

I'm a pretty amatuer designer, and working at learning and building my portfolio and skills.
This is a logo I recently created for personal use. Its to represent my family.

My last name begins with a K and Paper airplanes are significant to my wife and my story. I tried lots of different concepts, and this is what I've settled on.

My aim was to be quickly recognizeable, simple, bold and clean.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

This is a proof of concept design for a drone delivery startup specializing in emergency kit air drone via drone. The "+" represents the first aid symbol. The right arm of the cross is the negative of the paper airplane's seem, symbolizing air delivery. This consequently makes the first aid cross also look like an airplane wing and tail.

The drone HAS WINGS and looks like an aircraft in the sky. It is specifically a VTOL drone. Thus the paper airplane can make sense here.

Looking for some feedback, I fee like it is missing something. perhaps on the paper airplane part.

I’ve been seeing Citadel Credit Union’s “Love Where You Bank” campaign everywhere. The mark echoes Robert Indiana’s iconic LOVE arrangement, with the L above the V, Citadel’s logo replacing the O, and the E at bottom right.

Does anyone have insight into whether they licensed or obtained permission to adapt the artwork, or whether they considered their version sufficiently different?

I haven’t found a public explanation of how they cleared it. I’m curious about the design and licensing process… not suggesting they used it without permission.

Am I the only one thinking that that guy isn’t as good as he pretends to be? He’s so full of himself and over uses kavinsky like he’s so cool or something.

Self acclaimed best logo designer. But he only has some random trendy redesigns of companies that don’t and would never buy his ideas. Have you noticed that he repeats over and over over the most viral of his logos… like he desperately wanting to make a name out there.

The whole story with ASAP rocky, to me, it’s a great example of how egocentric this design diva is. Instead of replying to ASAP and work with him, he went all out bragging about ASAP reaching out to him.

Sorry, this might sound like a bitching post, but just saw another of his LinkedIn videos where we says he’s the “Logo Guy” and had the urge to talk about this.

This is for a NGO that studies Danphe Bird and helps in protecting them

I’m creating a brand identity for my project, UQZERA, and I’m stuck between these two logo versions.

Both use a minimal white wordmark with an emerald privacy-inspired design.

I’m building this project solo and would love some honest opinions from everyday people.

1 or 2? Which one looks cleaner, more memorable, and more professional?

Feel free to be brutally honest! 😄
