visual art My Website Logo

[Derpy Azusa 272]

Hey everyone I made my website logo and I'm looking for some feedback. Lwet me tell you a little bit about my website it's an online blog where I write website reviews as well as writing my thoughts. I try to share my views on many topics. I've been blogging for about 3 months and after many errors with my website I have finally fixed all the issues. 

 

Thoughts?

A very artistic website logo if I do say so myself. It really does look good, a very good logo.

I really do like it. You must be very creative.

You know what, I really like it! Did you do this yourself or did you get somebody else to do it?

 

While it's not an overly original design it looks good and obviously some thought has gone into this. You've chosen a really nice modern font and the colours work really well together. I like the fact you've given it a drop shadow and the marks on the letters are a nice touch.

 

What I will say though is you might be limited to a white background for this, especially if you want your drop shadow to work. Other than that I don't have many criticisms of the design, only that I've seen quite a few other websites use that kind of style.

As a structure, it's a great logo. The typeface has that sidewalk stamp feel in it, making it organic. Blue is a great color choice to go with the black outline, as it's cool and welcoming.

 

But there are some suggestions with the logo to make it better:

1. Clean up the detail within the letters. While they look great and give it personality, the issue with the detail is that they run the risk of being lost when the logo's size is smaller. A great logo isn't about one size fitting all. It's about having the logo looking good in multiple sizes, big and small, across multiple media platforms. The black stencil lines within the letters that give the logo its stamp shape is great; the extra detail is overkill. (Also, make sure the logo works great big and small once the little details get cleaned up.)
2. Space the individual letters out more. The stencil lines give the characters personality, but almost all of the letters are way too close to one another. The kerning is way too tight. As a result, "Vannie's World" looks less obvious. (The best example for this demonstration is the "I" and "E" in Vannie's: The stamp look makes it look like two I's instead of an "I" and "E.") I recommend increasing the space between each character, either through kerning — spacing adjustment between two specific characters — or tracking — the spacing for one whole line, paragraph, or document.
3. The "V" is hanging on an island. The rest of the characters' kerning is tight, but there is a huge gap between the "V" and "A." Instead of being "Vannie's World," it looks like "V Annie's World." So I would tighten the kerning between the "V" and "A" more, but remember to increase the space for all of the other characters.
4. The punctuation between the "E" and "S" isn't an apostrophe/curly quote (’). That's an foot mark. Replace the foot mark with the apostrophe. (In the U.S., the shortcut for the apostrophe you're aiming for is "Alt" (for PC)/"Option" (for a Mac) plus "Shift" plus the right end bracket [below the "+/=" and "delete" keys on an American "QWERTY" keyboard]. I'm not sure if the shortcut is the same in your country, though.)
5. My eyes may be fooling me, but it looks like there is a gradient from a lighter blue to a darker blue. If that's true, regardless of whether the logo is designed for the Internet or not, that's considered a no-no in logo design. Gradients in logos may look good on the Web or any other digital format, but they're very difficult to print accurately. In addition, gradients make your logo much less versatile and more constraint to a few media platforms. If you want to use multiple colors or progress from one color to another, use solid colors only. But because they're so close in range here, I suggest one blue color only.

That aside, you have an interesting logo with a very good basic design. It's simple and to the point. Just clean it up, and you have a much stronger logo.

Thanks very Much Dark I will attempt to fix that I do thank you for that Review I like your Ideas so thanks for the lenghty review and your eyes are tricking you because it's only one shade of blue.
