Hi NPers!

What do you think about this logo?

Thanks!

FYI - Sorry about the low resolution.

Hello, Nickia. Beautiful name.

Unfortunately, I think it could use a lot of work. I'm not really sure what the icon is or how it represents the site name. The font doesn't seem to fit either. The colors are okay.

Well, the icon in the front represents a rabbit and since the name is FunFacts.net, I thought it would be a nice "fun" touch. I am going more for the minimalist look.

 

[DomainTom]

Thanks, BTW!

I did not recognize the rabbit until you post about it, so the fun did not really appear to me at a glance.

I suggest you have a look at brandbucket logos for similar domains (fun subject). You can also look at namerific or similar places. They often have very simple, yet great logos.

looking well its nice logo.

The rabbit looks scared. It doesn't portray "fun". Try to put a smile on him and/or get him to stick his tongue out. A nose and some whiskers would help the viewer recognize it as a rabbit as well. If you can center the rabbit on top of the domain name, and make him a bit bigger, it would look much better IMO.

The font is half straight and half rounded. It has an awkward effect. Try to make it all rounded, and a lot more bubbly, to liven things up. Connect the a's and e's, to make it flow.

The colours black and orange, are dreary. Try to use little to no black, especially on the word "fun". Orange can work, but that particular orange has a "pylon effect". It'll subconsciously make the viewer cautious. Use a different shade/tone or a more friendly colour. Red could be a good addition.

That said, it's pretty good logo. I think it's a good decision to go for minimalism. The blue really pops, and it has a fun, exciting, effect. The flopped ear is a good touch too. It loosens up the vibe.

I'd say you're headed in the right direction.

G'Luck!

The Logo is OK. You can remove the .net to make it more cute.
'Cos the domain extension is .net, don't forget to add BookMark this site link somewhere on top of the page.

Too squashed. Needs some space to help it breathe a bit.
Not a fan of the font.
Make the rabbit have the same colour eyes and give it a smile.

All the best.

Well it looks great until I thought of an 8-bit pixel character which actually is a rabbit .
Otherwise, great job!

Thanks for making me stressed guys! lol jk. Thank you all, seriously. You pointed out some things that I never thought about before. Now I don't know what to do :S

 

[DomainTom]

What about this guys?

 

[Abdillahi Abdillahi]

That is certainly much much better than the first one you posted

 

[Olayinka Oladele]

On another note, though like I said it is much much better than the first one, I would suggest you try like using one F to represent both words since now the upper part makes it seem as if it is EUN instead of FUN.

Something like

1st one might look like flipping a bird.

2nd too funky of a F font, ultra basic design

I like the last one though. I don't see anything wrong with having a basic logo because many big companies are going with basic. For example facebook, amazon, microsoft, buzzfeed, dailymail and many others. It seems that ''FunFacts'' looks good with lobster font and the font is very popular, it's for a reason.

1) Billion dollar companies that use what you may think of as a "basic logo" (i actually said ultra-) are very much tested and these companies dont need to differentiate themselves from the average 5 min wordpress sites..

2) It doesn't matter how popular the font is. The fact is this F is over worked. It both confusing as a identifiable letter, plus doing double duty for both words.

*******************

I would rather use the first logo but tweak it.

Also remember we are looking at the round one HUGE, the first logo will probably look much better in a typical website left banner.

Good Luck.
