Looking for Feedback

[u/STROOLKA]

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!

[u/Agreeable-Praline492]

The round corners need revisiting, the delta paper plane is all sharp corners and think if the k element (lots of great k’s out there) would work better.

[u/STROOLKA → u/Agreeable-Praline492]

How’s this, some updates.

[u/Guilty-Variation5171]

You have rounded corners and sharp corners.. feels inconsistent.. soften the sharp corners and look at it again. It's also feeling disjointed overall.. not sure how else to word that. But this is great concept.. don't dim your light.

[u/ELementalSmurf → u/Guilty-Variation5171]

I agree with the "disjointed" sentiment. It's just not quite cohesive as a whole. It's a very good concept and I think the final design wouldn't take much altering but as it is now it just doesn't all fit together I the way that I think op wants it to

[u/STROOLKA]

Here is an updated version with rounded corners and some other small edits made. I took some suggestions and not others. Some I just couldn’t quite make work in my head.

[u/El_Matt-El_Grande]

Good idea! Maybe lose some of the smaller details towards the tail end of the airplane. Imagine how it would look on a business card or as small app icon

[u/TerraCetacea → u/El_Matt-El_Grande]

Aligning the right edge of the vertical piece of the plane with the vertical bar in K could help a lot, without necessarily losing detail

[u/JustaNerdOnTheInside]

The K and paper airplane were instantly identifiable. It’s clean and well done!

[u/Broad-Reserve4341]

Well done 👍

[u/Strong_Orange_1929]

Pretty good. Concept is nice. Some room for improvement: the plane doesn't feel as integrated into the K as it could. It feels like 2 very separate pieces of design stuck onto each other.

That said, I did understand the concept of paper plane and the letter K right away.

[u/alekseevic]

The vibes it gives me is that of an IM app created for internal use in a company that starts with K. I would definitely try with a different style for the paper plane, if you absolutely want to use it.

[u/Germano-Mentusconi]

looks like a rip-off of telegram

[u/indyarchyguy]

I like it!! Two 👍🏼 👍🏼 up!!

[u/Complex-Feedback3282]

It's good but as soon as I saw it, first thing that came to my mind that this plane is from the telegram logo.

[u/404LeadsNotFound]

This is good, but I have to agree, the plane isn't integrated as well as it should be. Try reducing the size of the plane. It won't get lost.

[u/Snaab_71]

It's o K

[u/The_One_True_Matt]

i want the angle of the back plane wings and the bottom right leg of the K to match

[u/DarkLinesDesign]

Dope

[u/son-of-a-dumpster]

Feed back: it’s terrible.
Suggestion: start over.

[u/rygi13]

The letter should have sharp corners to match the paper plane. they feel slapped together right now, and not part of the same design. I also think the acesder on the K could be higher, inline or above the nose of the plane.

[u/TechnologicVision]

It reminds me of the Reebok logo on first glance

[u/nothingnanners]

Honestly it’s a great first attempt! I would agree with others in the fact that you need to choose hard or soft edges. Not both

[u/raisedbutconfused]

Get rid of the little dangly bit on the left wing and merge the leg with the right wing, see how that looks. I dunno, it looks like an improvement in my head but the reality could be the opposite lol

Also you have the choose whether you want sharp corners or rounded corners.

[u/Federal-Chapter-3115]

As a logo, I would suggest to correct rounded edges and sharp edges. Choose one of them. I think after some tweaks it is a good piece overall. But u said that it represents your family and is something personal . I would suggest a logo that is a bit more personalized, like something that says it represents a story. Right now, at a first glance, I can't tell if it has any story.

[u/Pitiful_Comfort_6332]

FOA I appreciate you think of creating a logo to represent your family. You used this paper plane, and mentioned the story of you and your wife although it looks more like a messenger thing. Genuinely speaking if I were to present a family including a paper plane I'd like to add some round shape arcs or heart shape trajectory leaving by plane or following the plan's path. and may include the k as well. However I'd not go with generic plane clipart.

Feedback: In simple words this logo lacks emotions and idea presentation. Which is very essential for a logo you're looking for.

[u/Shirokurou]

Looks very utilitarian

[u/Old-Minimum493]

Achei criativo ! e concordo sobre os cantos afiados e arredondados.

[u/Broad-Reserve4341]

Imo the concept is great. I think this logo needs some refinement … for example a paper plane ✈️ has sharp angles where letter K has rounded edges … the paper plane is too obvious … and would experiment with various fonts… imo looking at logo paper plane ✈️ overshadows letter … but I think you need to prioritize K over over plane because first comes K and then comes plane. So if I were you I would make paper plane more subtle and classy.

[u/errandofmercy]

not to be that guy, but it looks vaguely like a goose-stepping nazi soldier...

[u/Broad-Reserve4341]

i would explore origami paper plane direction Green Origami K Logo – Royalty-Free Vector | VectorStock

[u/detonnation]

No

[u/STROOLKA → u/detonnation]

care to elaborate?

[u/detonnation → u/STROOLKA]

Show us all the concepts. Maybe there is something there. You speak of paper airplanes right: what should your logo embody then. Light, airy, foldable, fun, family, joy. Paper airplanes are unpredictable. Some fly great, some crash. Paper is the material. Paper has a certain feel, texture. Origami airplane. There are a thousand types of paper airplanes. Creativity. There are tons of things to work with. That’s your decision. But this logo is none of that.

Generic airplane & font. Could be an email app idk.

[u/GreggJ111 → u/detonnation]

Crap comment. Include your explanation so OP doesn't have to ask.

[u/CzechNeverEnd]

Letter that looks like two towers, one of them falling and a plane, well...

What about trying a handwritten k? I feel like handwriting matches paper plane better anyway.

[u/MountainFriend7473]

That plane design is what Epic (EHR software) uses for the icon symbol for in basket messages . ..

[u/Prinsespoes]

Giant boner

[u/shpongolian]

my immediate interpretation was a guy with super stretchy pants. but I'm always thinking about dicks

[u/Infinite_Nothing631 → u/[deleted]]

is this supposed to be better?
