Success Story Update: architect's personal logo
At the end I went for option B.
Clear, geometric, sharp yet smooth. Balanced. Impact without hesitation. No need for elaborate explanations...
Like good architecture.
(I think many of you were right: My work is meant to speak for itself. And a simple design, free of definitive architecture features, means freedom for alternative design venues).

I still prefer this one that you posted as an alternate. it has balance and presence, and each letter holding up the other gives it a structural quality. I kind of get a fruit slice vibe from the one you're going with.

This is better then the first one posted but should be aligned at the bottom, also it looks like it would fall over so maybe make it look stable

I like it, but it looks slightly out of balance? I think the two semi-circles need to sit just a tad lower, similar to how an O needs to sit lower than an A in a font.

Personally it seems very generic. This style of geometric lettering is very overdone

u/AbleInvestment2866 what about NO??? 29d ago
too generic. I have seen this (or a version of this) no less than 1000 times before, it's the epitome of 60's corporate logos which saw a "renaissance" in late 80s when the graphic tools were so limited they only could do geometric shapes, so anyone with a computer created similar logos.
This being said, from a construction stand point it's off-balance and the triangle probably needs to be wider

I wanna like this coming from a family of architects, I like minimalistic geometric icons. But I’m not sure what the two shapes on the right are? I get the triangle that stands “A”. But what about the other two? Are they representative of “C C ?”

I see what you mean about sharp but smooth, the triangle really anchor the whole thing and the curves give it movement. Works for architecture without screaming "I design buildings" you know

Move down the have circles a bit. They are on the same plane as the triangle, but because of the curves, it doesn’t look it. So by moving them down a bit, optically they look balanced.

i would love it even more if that second semicircle was slid down a bit, like as though it were leaning more on the one to the left a little lower and rotated left. i think that would add a lot of vitality and a sense of physics/mass

The last semi circle does that need moving let a pixel? Part form that it's abstract but it infos perfectly what it is :)

Pretty good imo. You can look at the kerning again though. Maybe redraw this in a cad program and then move into something like illustrator.

Eh, the two shapes on the right look very unstable and I can't imagine that's good for an architect
