logo design

The_cutting_edge · Aug 11, 2012

I had a bunch of buisness cards made a few months ago but not happy my logo design. Now that I'm getting stuff ready for my first show the end of next month I was thinking about having a hat and maybe a T-shirt made. I also need a sign or banner of some sort for my table. So I sat down today and drew this up. let me know what you all think. I just hope it isnt too similar to anyone else.....

Looks nice to me. I just finished designing one as well an understand what you are say.

Looks original enough to me, nice work. With a bit or color it will look great.

The graphic looks nice to me, should be scaleable enough. I would move all text under the maple leaf, centered and justified. A nice serriff text would would look good.

Just my two cents.

A very kind fellow took my rough drawing and made it into a very clean very professional looking logo. The people in this community never cease to amaze me with their generosity. Thank you very much
here's what he did for me

I also got a version with lighter handles and a green maple leaf and B&W version too. way better than anything I could have done for sure!

The logo looks good but when I tried your link this poped up in my browser:

It worked fine once I deleted that firs part but just thought you might want to know. I am using safari on the iPad 2 if that helps any. I've done web stuff as well and I know how annoying it can get trying to make something work on all browsers.

thanks for the heads up Mitch8, I just tried iot and got the same mssg. I'm not real computer savy but think I have it fixed now..

What is everyone's thoughts on having this logo for my cards and shirts/hats but just my name and location as my makers mark. I had my stencils for my mark made a few months ago and have only had to use one of them so far. If I was to use this logo as my Mark the other stencils would go to waste. Hate throwing away money like that.

Jason - That's quite nice. I'm going through the same process at the moment and I can only hope to achieve the same high level of clarity as yours.
