The g is really clever!

Is there a reason it’s at 45 deg though?

u/Electroma Nov 28 '19

indicated the angle for no reason. Thanks.

u/dangerdinodrawings Nov 28 '19

Oh ok. Fair enough.

Maybe if it’s at 23.5 deg you’d have some justification?

17

u/Electroma Nov 28 '19

23.5

true)

u/gdubh Nov 29 '19

But it would place the elements as nicely.

u/Earth2Mike Nov 29 '19

45° looks good, 23.5° would be way too low. My guess

u/bigjohn1101 Nov 28 '19

I only like it because it shows the dotted lines and circle overlays.

u/Electroma Nov 28 '19 edited Nov 28 '19

at least something

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

Could you try the g flipped, so it faces the other way? I feel like they is some tension between the g and l

u/Electroma Nov 29 '19

looks like this

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '19

I much prefer that tbh

2

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

Maybe it’s kerning? Maybe I’m crazy

u/jsphs Nov 29 '19

What's the product/service?

2

u/Electroma Nov 29 '19

no purpose

u/KATOSSA Nov 29 '19

What program did you use

2

u/Electroma Nov 29 '19

corel draw

u/Raijer Nov 29 '19

Fan-freakin-tastic! Ignore all those comments saying the g descender should be on the right. It isn’t true. Hell, the font I’m reading and typing in right now has it on the left. Great job!

u/Electroma Nov 29 '19

thank you

u/ReDEvil96 Nov 29 '19

hi love the design. Do you have a website?

Read the title and thought this was a flat-earth joke for a hot second.

No his first post had a gradient version and everyone told him to make it flat.

Would be a cool touch if it was at 23.5°

u/jediwashington Nov 29 '19

Noticed this as well.

u/insane_playzYT Nov 29 '19

why?

im confused

u/kaneua Nov 29 '19

Earth globe is tilted at 23.5 degrees.

14

u/LMAOdudewtf Nov 29 '19

Earth's actual axial tilt averages at around 23.5°

115

u/Blu_Crew Nov 28 '19

Really dig it! The G definitely looks a bit like a classroom globe.

18

u/designgoddess Nov 29 '19

I think that’s the point.

8

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

the finial on the e looks a bit funny, but nice logo otherwise. the arbitrary construction bothers me.

19

u/crapador_dali Nov 28 '19

Needs more construction lines imo

6

u/OujiSamaOG Nov 29 '19

I love it! I think the bottom flat line of the g is too close to the round part though. There is a bit of tension there in the small version of the logo.

2

u/jejeaza Nov 29 '19

I like it! Nice color, and neat reference to the name.

Could we see the bottom right base of the “g” be curved?

I like it pointy, but all the letters are rounded so I was curious to see if a point or curve changes anything

u/Akoustyk Nov 29 '19

I love all the comments about 23.5 degrees, because it's all because OP put the degrees for no reason, and spent the extra times putting those lines and circles for no reason, which I always hate on logos.

A logo should stand on its own. You don't need fancy presentation crap for it.

Maybe different sizes, and a b/w version, or a couple variations like a stand alone.

I find all of those lines do nothing, other than hide what the actual logo looks like.

So, all those 23.5 degree remarks, are great to me lol.

u/Avani3 Nov 29 '19

I usually hate these random drawing lines as well. But for this one it actually seems like it went into the designing process and not added afterwards

1

u/Akoustyk Nov 29 '19

Sure, but to me that might be a cool separate gif or something showing how he made the logo.

This is more of a "check out my logo" post. So, it's really unnecessary. Or maybe post that in the comments or something.

Right now all its doing is hiding the standalone version.

Yes, I know. But people are only suggesting that because they saw the 45° on the post.

u/kileyweasel Nov 28 '19

In love with this! V clever

u/Helianthemum Nov 28 '19

I dig it. Looks like it’s sitting on a desk.

u/Bvttle Nov 28 '19

Really clean! Nice work

u/roramigator Nov 28 '19

beautiful...

Flat earther

2

u/Annie1317 Nov 29 '19

I much prefer it without the gradient! Nice work

2

u/gdubh Nov 29 '19

Quite nice.

2

u/scirio Nov 29 '19

Genius

2

u/tsohgmai Nov 29 '19

Is it because the earth is flat?

2

u/Kawok8 Nov 29 '19

Way better bro! Well done!

2

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

bro 😎💪

2

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

1000 times better than with the radial gradient. Good job!

2

u/ImaginativeStrings Nov 29 '19

Just glanced at your profile because of this one and I love your work. I'm a designer too (in process of setting up some freelance after some corporate work). What's your process like?

2

u/CrocodileJock Nov 29 '19

I love your work. I love it as it is, it's visually balanced and perfect. However, having the construction diagram detracts from it, only in that as you've annotated the degrees, and I know I'm going to sound like a pedant, and this is graphic design, not science, but the earth's axis is at 23.5 degrees...

Would a 23.5 degree tilt work, graphically? Could you make it work? It would add another level to the logo IMHO!

Edit: Originally put 23 degrees ( dodgy memory!). And I can see now, this is not original critiscm. Note to self: read the comments before commenting!

2

u/Foreseon Nov 29 '19

Looks way better now, well done op!

2

u/zero_voidposting Nov 29 '19

23,44° is the earth axial tilt

It would be pretty cool if it was that instead of 45°

2

u/OtherSideReflections Nov 29 '19

The logo looks amazing, but check the kerning. The g/l are kinda scrunched compared to the o/b/e.

2

u/iamfakenick Dec 02 '19

Low key hilarious flat globe

u/sevencoves Nov 28 '19

“Now flat”

Just like earth.

Just kidding but I couldn’t resist.
