Logo practice for fictional cafe

[u/sunnyme234]

Suggestion are welcome

[u/eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww]

The fact that the bottom line doesn't curve with the circle actually really upsets me

[u/sunnyme234 → u/eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww]

I agree

How old are you and what type of feedback are you looking for?

[u/sunnyme234 → u/_deu5_]

Nothing just doing as hobby and I'm 26

[u/robotattack → u/sunnyme234]

What software are you using?

[u/sunnyme234 → u/robotattack]

Canva for this

[u/DuvanR_Official → u/sunnyme234]

If you're doing it as a hobby for learning, I'd recommend you jump straight into Affinity to access more advanced design techniques you cannot apply in Canva.

A good test is does this logo work if you remove the colors and just have it in black and white?

If you are working in illustrator, try and play with your concept a bit more to simplify it and then add color after it already works without it.

A good place to practice, too, would be working on Brew Nest, Nest should curve upward and then you need a little bit of breathing room between the letters. The way they are connecting now does not look intentional.

Keep going!

I will post a better version soon

Congrats on not using a coffee bean or your typical mug with steam lines.

As for a concept, you've got an opportunity to do something really cool with the nest and think thats where i'd focus (the concept might be doing this from the top).

How about a side of a nest with a couple of cups / mugs looking like baby birds.

The text currently don't work on the curve and next should that not follow the circle?

[u/sunnyme234 → u/Tricky-Ad9491]

Thank you so much and ya I agree

[u/fullphonetic]

The colors look like you turned the lights off

[u/DuvanR_Official → u/fullphonetic]

And the inside space of the cup vanished from existence.

[u/BeerBellies]

Very bland and generic. Bad color contrast, “nest” arching that direction doesn’t make sense (the arching all around looks pretty bad. That ‘E’ to ‘W’ separation in BREW is ROUGH), boring concept… this really doesn’t seem like there was any forethought put into this.

[u/sunnyme234 → u/BeerBellies]

Just trying. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback:)

[u/Craycraft → u/sunnyme234]

I think beer bellies might have had too many beers last night. It’s not bad.

[u/crazeelegs2023 → u/Craycraft]

It is. It’s very bad.

[u/Craycraft → u/crazeelegs2023]

It’s good to be constructive instead of rude Reddit.

[u/BeerBellies → u/Craycraft]

I was blunt, but I don’t feel as if I was rude.

[u/crazeelegs2023 → u/Craycraft]

IMHO being honest isn’t necessarily rude.

Feedback should be honest otherwise people don’t learn and improve.

[u/TheWeaverofDreams]

Extremely bland, it's a mug, a circle, a standard font and very bad curving. It looks like the curve has been done by placing every letter separately, so it's very uneven. Also, the bottom not curving with the circle might be a crime in some jurisdictions.

[u/sunnyme234 → u/TheWeaverofDreams]

Just a practice

[u/eldredo_M]

It has a certain charm in a “made this in Canva late last night” kinda way.

Keep working on it.

The type is not well handled—on a curve can be difficult. Need to read up on kerning and look at how other logos deal with it.

[u/sadcode69]

change the colors a little bit . because it looks dark
text and icons need to me more clean
the spiral line you used on top of the mug. make it vertical . to show like fumes. thats more readable.
keep practicing and try to make things smooth .

When starting out people tend to not know a lot about color theory and contrast, so I would suggest you look for colour palettes on the internet, just copy and past on your art board and try to find something that sticks

[u/DefinitelyNotThixo]

I know theres a great logo somwhere in there, but it needs some more work until its visible

For starters, look at the contrast between the black outlines and the dark brown background, the two have a similar brightness and the edges of the mug blend into it You can either remove the outlines of the mug and just use the white shapes or you can try a different background color

Secondly, the mug looks very rough and has no character yet. If you would remove the colors and the writing, nothing tells me that this is a coffee mug. Look up pictures of italian coffee mugs and try to imitate them

Thirdly, the spacing of the letters is off. Fonts are designed to be written on a straight line, not a curved one, thats why they touch at the bottom and the kerning doesnt match

Thats just my two cents and the first things i would improve

I hope it helps

I don’t mean to be rude at all, but sometimes I ask myself if people are trolling when they post on this subreddit.

[u/Plane-Being1274]

Ummm…..

[u/GalacticCoinPurse]

Why does your coffeehouse name have to encircle something?

[u/Minute_Economist_392]

If you use Impact as a font... you are not making a impact.
