Logo Help

[bench]

I was just wondering everybody’s opinion on a logo it through together. I wanted something basic that could be used on anything such as business card, letter heads, shirts, ect.

SO here it is

Any input and some constructive criticism would help a lot.
-Thanks

The edges look really pixelated. I wouldn't use that font because it doesn't look natural. I really like the logo though.

 

[bench]

Thanks,and what do you mean by pixelated?

Like on the words and the picture of the gecko...you can see the pixels on the ends...and it makes it bumpy...the bars on the top and bottom look good though...nice and smooth

How do i get rid of this?

 

[Pro Geckos]

I think it looks great but to me the bars are just floating and are disconnected from the rest of the logo. I would make the stroke half that size and move them closer to the words. To create more depth and interest have the gecko silhouette overlap the the bars. Hopefully this makes sense.

Also I'm assuming you created this logo in photoshop? If so make it a higher resolution file to reduce the pixilation. If you want to eliminate it completely create the logo in illustrator as it's vector based.

Thanks, how about this one?

 

[Pro Geckos]

Better. The contrast between the gecko and bar is very strong. I would still cut the size of the bars in half though. They are very bold and conflict with the name. Also I would ditch the block letters. It reminds me more of school building blocks rather than reptiles. I think the font you had before is fine but if it bothers you, you can always remove the texture on the font and make it a little bigger.

Thanks

Much better... great job! You might add a faint drop shadow to the text to pop it off more. If it doesn't give it enough contrast you could make the green darker to separate it from the bars.

A crack at your logo

I made an attempt at your logo for you. It might be more than you wanted but was just taking a shot at it for you.

nice work with the text there, Sean...

 

[Rep-Tails]

Thank you Britt. The pic here is not quite as smooth as it is in photoshop, but the idea comes across

 

[bench]

Thanks, i appreciate you taking time and making this for me.It sure beats the one i made.

The major thing that sticks out to me is the white line around the gecko silhouette. Try using a higher resolution image if you are having issues making a "clean" silhouette.

As for Seans version, the major thing that sticks out to me is the inconsistency of the shadows between the gecko silhouette, and the text.
The text drop shadow is sharp, which enhances the "sharp" look of it, where as the gecko shape [that looks pixelated, with nubby hands because the toes arent visible] drop shadow is the same distance, but is very soft, making the gecko shape look more like a blob.

 

[Rep-Tails]

Tamara I understand what you are saying about the shadows, and now that I look at it somemore I agree. The gecko silhouette with the nubby hands though was not me. I just took Bench's original image and took it off of it, just as a quick put together to show him. Honest opinions are the best opinions, thanks.

Haha, I was not trying to come down on you for the toes not being visible. Its obvious they are barely visible in the original and anytime you resize things down, information is lost. The inconsistent shadow was the only "flaw" I saw in the design.
