: Need an opinion on a logo I designed
: puppycheese February 13, 2015, 12:44:17 AM
I recently designed this logo for a camera hat product that a company came out with. He said to make it clean neat and something modern. I also wanted the emblem to relate to the company so I made a neat emblem that you may associate the emblem with a camera lens. Also I came up with five different designs.


Tell me what you think and please share any constructive criticism. Thanks for your help!


This is my emblem.

I could see that. What did you think overall?

To be completely honest, I know this is supposed to be a camera lens because you stated it was, but when I first look at this, the concept of camera is not clear to me. You're typography and the rest of your designs are solid, but I think the emblem needs some work.


For instance when I look at a camera lens straight on, I see something like this:

or

And when I look at yours I can't seem to easily draw the connections, I think it may deal with how you're representing light on the top right hand corner than really throws it off for me (not a proper representation of how light works on a cylindrical object.) at the same time I understand why you used that for accent...

Very helpful advice. The emblem that I designed was meant to represent a lens because it was based off of a lens but I also needed to add a futuristic aspect to the design and I did this by trying to play with the shape. The shape even though it doesn't actually represent a camera lens, subliminally it is meant to do so. I may redo the logo portion to maybe make it look more like a camera lens.


Also with the colors there is a method to my madness and I followed colour theory when deciding what colors to actually use based on the brief I received for the project.


I appreciate the helpful advice and I will probably revamp the original emblem logo.

Yeah he got me too, a few times. Going to have to check dates more often. An even bigger dick move is when he removes his post after realizing his error. Makes the next guy look bad.

@OP - can we get an update; what become of the final outcome?
