Need some creative criticism

first all big ups to loca for helping me out a ton with photoshop and i mean a ton..i came into photoshop not knowing a thing except how to cut my head out of pictures and add them to porno pics...


anyways ive yet to create a company logo and finally decided to get down to work and do it and this is what i came up with... i need some creative criticism from everyone...let me know what u think or what i should switch...take a really good look at them and feed me with some opinions please

heres the first one






im planning on changing it to black instead of fading tthe lettering




and the second with different lettering






any comments please share

what is it, Aquilo? I can't see the i too well if it is. might wanna make it a bit more visible.

and I dunno if you care, but what about making the design something HVAC-esk, like having something to do with what ya do. Like try to incorporate duct work into it, or try to add an effect to the a so that it looks like it is blowing.


other than that, it is clean and simple, and that is good.

I think the second one looks great Vivid.

You have done a really awesome job, especially for a new photoshop user..

yeah taht was my original idea..to do some with hvac but i decided against it cause everything i came up with looked gay..and i loved the symbol i designed so i wanted to stick with it

Reminds me of the Ring.......my precious.


if no duct work, put some waves on the a....oh and I forogt to mention that the a reminds me of a mullet...hehe. in a cool way. :P

i think i liked the faded lettering better, if it was a little more readable.

rthats awesome cause most hvac guys DO have mullets...see it does symbolize what i work with

I like the first one better, but darken the letters a little. The logo has nice colours that work well together and (IMO) looks pretty professional.

edit :: letters in the second design are too smushed together.

i don't really like the gradient text..

you should probably make the text size bigger or at least bolder.


Posted by Tranc3 on Jun-02-2004 00:54:

I think you said you were gonna do it, but darken the lettering on the first one, and then it's better than the second one. It's got a better design, it's just readability that's the major flaw.

Oh and what's the hook underneath the "a" for? It'd be cool if you could incorporate the other letters into the "a" or maybe just one other letter. Cause the hook just looks like it's...there...with no purpose. If you put another character there, then it'd be awesome. Maybe a "d" for design, that way the logo makes you think "Aquilo design" and then you read it and you see Aquilo air system design

Hey Eric...I like the first one. I agree with everyone else that the letters need to be darker.

put some hedgetrimmers by the a as if they are cutting the mullet off.


that'll freak some co-workers out.

mullet'04.

you want creative criticism...?


i think what you're looking for is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism


this is creative

not constructive

nah see its not a hook under the a i was actually suppose to be an "a" and a "q" in one...it lookslike it to me as well as for other ppl...ahh well no biggie

if your trying to make it look like an a and a q try to make the swooping down thing and the swooping up thingy look a little more similar. like in thickness....kinda bulk up the bottom one.



but I still like the mullet reference it brings out. so I wouldn't change it.

Posted by Tranc3 on Jun-02-2004 05:37:

Ok I see the "q" now, although it's not incredibly obvious if you don't know what to look for.

Other than that, its ace

remove the relief on the smaller text.. looks alot cleaner that way. If you have to have effects on them too, use shadows and nothing more.
