Logo Reviews


Hi All.

I have decided to try and make a logo for my gaming community (gamers-resource.net)

Please could you tell me which one your prefer, and feedback is welcome.

Thanks!

Ideally, i'd pick a mix of the 2 logos.

1, Has too many angles and overall looks a bit messy. However, it does contain the valuable mission statement/tag line: Chat, Debate, Review, Solve.

2, Has cleaner lines, is less busy and doesn't have as many angles which makes for a more smooth appearance.

If you'd manage to combine 1 and 2, while keeping the clean cut look of #2, you'd have a very usable logo.

Callum,

I agree with IB. I personally like the first one because it's cluttered and non-conformist...but I think based on your forum (clean, structured, organized) it doesn't fit.

If the site in general was more edgy, ruffed up looking, then I would say #1 is actually a good logo.

Anyway, I hope this helps. Nice job.

I really can't recommend any of them. The first one is indeed busy, but second one has nice logo font (just if you improve the slogan.) make it clean less busy, and it will look better indeed. So probably you need the 2nd one with minor adjustments.

Image 1:
Too busy, and you have too many elements that you really don't need as a part of your logo.

Image 2:
Not bad, I would say get rid of the URL. Put it somewhere else on your website, and if you really want with your logo, try to use the same fonts you used to your slogan. And I always find it easier to read when use mix case for URL rather than all upper case.

You can add your FX and colors later but something like this

or maybe this one without the URL
