I don't know anything about logo design but I'm trying to make a logo for my Steam page.

Consider it's just a logo for an indie horror game so I don't need it to look professional, I just want something that catches the eye. I'm trying to use a simple and clean font but also make it look good.

For this one I traced a new CD and a new Soldering Iron that has better colors. I also used more gradients to get around the amateur look. Thank you for your criticisms on my last versions of this logo. I think this one is way better and more readable.

I'm starting my restaurant business, but my patrons want my logo to ve catchy. Thanks in advance!

It seems, when presented with a “logos then and now” type graphic, this sub will universaly lament the loss of individualism, fun, colour etc over the decades.

Simultaneously, when someone presents something they’re working on, almost all responses read “too much going on, lose the colour, make sure it works for every single edge case, a black square would be better”…

How do we explain this?

Reminds me of boomer mentality on childcare: demanding kids be wrapped in cotton then, in the next breath, complaining that playgrounds aren’t dangerous enough anymore.

An fun exercise in simplicity, executed while awaiting to board my next flight. Two logos designed for companies with names related to the sun.

What do you all think of this logo for a financial services advisory firm?

Appreciate your feedback!

PS: let me know if you see it 😉

Concept

I just posted a ton of logos, but I've narrowed them down in hopes to get some feedback, see my previous post for more context.

UTOPIA Relief Strips is a modern wellness brand designed for socially active adults in their 20s and 30s. Our products focus on natural, fast-acting oral strips that support hangover solutions, energy, and sleep. Pre-Party Strips, our flagship product, is a convenient, discreet supplement designed for nightlife, travel, and festivals. Promoting a better tomorrow without compromising the moment. The brand emphasizes simplicity, function, and lifestyle-driven design.

Our goal in this redesign is to capture the active nature of our demographic while incorporating elements that represent the function of our products. Oral strips are very much a niche in the marketplace and a simple tongue with a strip applied (on the “o”) may help customers understand the product usage.

This redesign is the last major step before entering the world of retail. The products will primarily be featured in liquor stores, convenience stores, and Mom/Pop Shops. Any feedback on where improvements could be made and which designs stand out to you will be much appreciated.

I'm not a logo designer — I'm actually a web developer currently working on a website for a friend. Since he doesn’t have the budget to hire a graphic designer, he asked me if I could help create a logo for his site. The website will be called Fice Formation and will offer training on various topics such as foreign languages, AI, and environmental issues.

His first idea (Image 1, sorry for the bad quality, this is how he sended it to me) was to create a key-shaped logo that includes the initials of the website name. The key would symbolize something like "the keys to success." So, I initially created a cleaner version of his concept (Image 2). However, when I showed it to him, I pointed out that it looked more like a locksmith’s logo.

I then proposed a different idea (Image 3) that, in my opinion, was more in line with an educational or training theme. But he politely rejected it, saying it looked too generic and reminded him of typical e-learning logos.

Out of ideas, I designed a fourth version (Image 4), which he really liked and approved. While I'm happy he likes it, I’m not fully satisfied with it myself — I feel it’s too plain and doesn’t really reflect the learning or educational aspect of the website.

So here are my questions:

Do you think a logo should always clearly reflect the field or activity of the business it represents?

Do you have any suggestions on how I could make this logo more unique or meaningful?

I'd love to incorporate a symbol related to training or learning in a more general way, maybe something where I could cleverly include one or two "F"s, either visibly or with negative space. I thought and tried to do this with a globe or a light bulb but I had trouble making it look presentable

Thanks in advance for any advice or feedback you might have!

I've never made a logo before, so I'd really appreciate feedback from more experienced folks.

This is a sketch of the logo—I think I'm done and ready to move on to Illustrator. It's for my personal brand/art. I'm an artist, and I want to start signing my prints with a proper watermark or signature. My vendor stand at events has a flower theme, and my main colors are green and pink. There's a little flower on top of the "i" as part of the design.

Despite never drawing a logo before, I did have typography classes for a whole semester a year ago. 💖🫶🏽

LOGO IN COMMENTS TO REUPLOAD THE LATEST DRAFT

Hello logo community!

I am planning to create a small brand for my English Lit tutoring business, potentially study guides and videos, called StarLit Learning.

I am a complete beginner at anything visually artistic but have managed to sketch this onto InkScape -- I will not say what the logo is supposed to be (as I hope that it might be obvious from the name and image, if not then please let me know!).

I would thoroughly appreciate guidance on how I can convey more professionalism and prestige with this brand mark. As of now I'm hoping a serif font or a gold blue/ green colour scheme might help me get there just a tiny bit and work with astral and literature related brand codes.

The purpose of this logo is to act both as a face for my small tutoring brand, a one person operation, but also to learn digital skills, so I appreciate all advice as I use this as a learning experience.

Here is the brief I made for myself if interested:

StarLit Learning is an education brand offering online group classes, study guides and pre-recorded materials focused on GCSE English Literature students aiming for top grades. The ambition is to move to these from 1-1 tutoring which currently forms the bulk of the business's services.

The objective is to design a logo supporting long term brand distinctiveness that works across website headers and social media posts.

The target market is parents of aspirational and motivated students usually seeking a competitive advantage in university applications, and there's a large market amongst parents of Asian backgrounds and/ or parents of children at Independent Schools in particular.

Provisional brand values are 1: exam focused direction, 2: distinction beyond the curriculum and 3: kindness that builds confidence.

Here are the steps I took to drawing this: 1. Mind map based on brands core values, used also to create the name. 2. Drafted the logo on graph paper. 3. Scanned the image to Inkscape. 4. Traced over the image with the bezier tool and used the circle tool.

What would you improve/change? What do you like/dislike?

I'm working on a logo for a small theater/performing space in a small, heavily community based town. It mainly will have smaller and more intimate shows, with a pretty small stage and a capacity of only 225. Out of a bunch of ideas, this direction was chosen and now I need to keep going but I am stuck on where to go. I am planning on changing the 'S' and the 'R', but could use some ideas on how. The main problem I'm having is making it all feel cohesive, and not too bold/heavy but the 3 'O's are really tough to change without losing the feel of the whole logo. Any ideas or recommendations?

I've heard of Illustrator and Photoshop, so are there any other apps that are good for making fonts?

wow, I absolutely love my profile picture. I have been trying different apps but they want you to pay some big bucks just for it and I figured hey why not try Instagram? I’m pretty sure Instagram will be free. I don’t think it’s gonna charge and it did take a while just to get the perfect profile picture the way that I wanted and this is definitely a 10 out of 10.
