I'm working on a logo for a paint company and would appreciate some honest feedback from fellow designers. I'm trying to avoid the typical paint industry clichés, like paintbrushes, paint buckets, splashes, or overly colourful branding. I want something clean, distinctive, and professional that still communicates the nature of the business without being too obvious.

Do you think a more minimal, understated approach can work for a paint brand, or would it make the industry difficult to recognise at first glance?

I'd appreciate any constructive criticism on the concept.

Sharing a logo I designed for Solaris, a Minecraft 1.8.9 client.

The client’s brief was to incorporate three key elements into the logo: a sun, a mountain, and the letter S. My approach was to combine them into a single, cohesive symbol rather than treat them as separate elements.

The setting sun frames the mountain silhouette, while the winding river doubles as an abstract S, tying the concept together. I focused on bold shapes, clean curves, and negative space to keep the mark recognizable and versatile.

Hey everyone!

As many of you know, when designing a logo for yourself or someone close to you (in this case, my girlfriend) it is often times harder than expected.

My girlfriend is a fresh lawyer, focusing mostly on criminal law. Her initials are "GM".

I have tried to incorporate a greek, stylised pillar in the "M" - because of the origin of the justice system from Greeks.

This whole legal field I find it hard to navigate, cause anyone working in the field and in this demographic (Eastern European) are not really keen to separate themselves from the known graphic elements(scale justice, gavel, greek pillar, shield, etc.)

She said she either wanted somekind of pillar or scale, and an elegant serif typeface to be used for her name.

Here comes the questions: Does this read "GM" or "GVI"?

The logo will never be really used without the name. So I guess this might be reducing the probability of anyone reading it "GVI"?

What do you think? Any ways to improve this?

The font I picked for the name to be written is HARMONY.

Logo for WorkBase, a coworking space in Lahore. The brief was a name people could see themselves in.

So instead of adding an icon, I built a person out of the letters. The O is the head, the A (drawn without its point) is the body, and the A's crossbar is the desk. Read normally, it's just WORK BASE.

Colours are Edge green and Caribbean, so the head is the only bright thing in the mark.

Did you spot the person before the second image?

Elvira is a plant-based raw dessert chef with a background in molecular biology. Both concepts were created for her food brand, but they have very different vibes.

Looking at her Instagram, you can see she likes very different styles. Sometimes she wears pink and looks cute, other times she goes for a dark goth look. Her desserts are the same. She makes cute pink hearts as well as black pastries decorated with silver spikes that look like real metal but are actually edible.

I believe the berry-like character licking its lips works better for the brand, but Elvira doesn't connect with it at all. She prefers the spiked concept, which makes sense given that she's also a tattoo artist working in cyber sigilism, a sharp and edgy style.

Looking to make a metal style logo for t-shirt. The design I’m hoping for is for it to be barely legible or at least not obvious at first glance. Struggling to alter it further. Any suggestions to help? Is it easy to read the name?

Hi! I'm Dove (nickname) (13M) And it's my first time making a logo. If anyone could give some advice on it or if it looks great, Id deeply appreciate it. If you saw it somewhere, would you have interest on what it is?

At first glance, it seems quite simple, but it carries a great deal of symbolism within that simplicity.

So, let's break it down.:
- Mountain Peak, the top of tournaments, is often used to describe a player or a round as being the peak, meaning the best.
- The main game mode is a three-round tournament, symbolized by the three stems of the tournament icon.
- A tournament icon that also resembles a pseudo sideways F. (Finals)
- On top of this, it can also be seen as a structure that has fallen onto its side, serving as a representation of the destruction system within the game.
- Finally, talking about the font, it’s a strong, bold brutalism that complements the art style of the in-game worlds. The placement and spacing can also be seen as a representation of the three steps to victory.

Sometimes, you create something simply because it feels right. You follow your eye, trust your instincts, and let the shapes fall into place.

Then, one day, you look closer and discover relationships you never consciously planned.

This is a little story about a logo, eight triangles, and the beauty of things falling into place without you even realising it.

I don't know how to create a logo, like I have a clear picture in my mind but I'm not able to replicate it on paper or express it, when I see other people to create a brand identity that looks so good I feel a bit demotivated because the way they have created is like i have no words, if anyone can help me out how to find logos idea and color palette.

And If anyone can help me out with those golden ratios or different ratios things which help logos look good like why to use it when to use and which one is perfect for which one 😅

Thanks in advance for every suggestion.

let me preface by saying i have no experience in logo design or graphic design in general. i am an artist, i have a BFA in painting and my primary medium is oil paint. my dad wants me to make a logo for him, saying he will pay for it. i don’t really have access to photoshop or any fancy editing program. how should i go about doing this? i figure i can mock up designs with sketches and create the final product with gouache paints (matte but vibrant, easier to create solid shapes and easier to photograph), and then i can digitize the design somehow? charge him for the logo and the copyright so he can use it on business cards, t shirts, etc.? anyways, any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hello!

The other day I posted my first logo in a really long time and got flamed, rightfully, because it was ugly as sin. I deleted the post in shame.

Today I come to you with something I think is much better. Second image is monochrome.

I don't like the color of the "pages" of the book. I have tried a bunch of colors and didn't like them, kind of at my wits end with that.

Be nice.

I'm making a brand identity for seafood restaurant and I've made the rest of it. I love everything, and this font is perfect for it, but I just can't make the first two letters look clean. I want to use them as logo for social media icons. (I like the word play with silueta and si)

Which version looks better, or maybe other suggestions how to make those curves look good.

Also added my thoughts process as the second photo. Maybe it will help a bit.
