Photoblog Logo Feedback

[jaywilliams]

Well, I'm currently working on a new logo for my photoblog (A Different View)... and I'm not sure which one I like best. So I decided to see what the fellow Pixelpost community members thought.

So which do you prefer?
Option 1 or Option 2 or the new Option 3

Any feedback/constructive criticism is appreciated. :)

[kevincrafts]

I like option 2 better.

[fredxeric]

option 2 for me

[Nicu Alecu]

Definitely no.1 for me! I think it well ballanced and easier to integrate into various layouts.

[Crossie]

For me it's option 1. It looks flawless and feels much more homogenous than option 2. The "View" in 2 does not integrate very good at large, it's looks more like an affix.

A very nice logo idea anyway.

Only my 2c.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
But now that the vote is 50/50 I'm probably more confused as to which I should use. :-P
Although, I'm tending to lean towards option 1.

[austriaka]

Option 1 looks better, but Option 2 is better to read :)

[jaywilliams]

Well, as I can't leave well enough alone, here is yet another option.
This time I used a different font & spacing.

Any thoughts?

Option 1 & 3 look to me like it says A Jifferent View

Yea I definitely see your point.
Do you have any ideas on how I could make it less "J" like?

Perhaps this is better?

Option 1 or 2 are better than 3. The cut descenders don't look good.
Typographers rule: Never mutilate a font!

[jaywilliams]

Actually, #3 uses a different font named Concorde (http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/berthold/concorde-bq/) which looks like that.

So don't worry, I didn't mutilate any fonts. :-)

[dakwegmo]

I like #3 the best, but have to agree with the jifferent comment. Have you tried moving the ifferent part below the flourish/underline, then move View up to sit on the line?

Yes I've tried that and it didn't turn out too well. :-P

See what I mean?

[dakwegmo]

See what I mean?

Yep. It looked a lot better in my head.

So don't worry, I didn't mutilate any fonts. :-)

Concorde is a beautiful modern serif typeface. The f in the italic font still looks mutilated to me, even if Günter Gerhard Lange designed it like this. In copy text it might work fine, however I would not use it in a logo, especially if I had the opportunity to play or make a bold statement with a double f.

[jaywilliams]

Thanks Nox, your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I played around a bit in Illustrator today to try out some other logo ideas.

Jay,

For me Option 4 is the best of the bunch, however the 'A' could do with some modification.

Option 5. The 'A' is too stylized, Option 6 the 'A' is too bold and upright, Option 7 does not look good. What is 'Aff' about your blog, the same for option 8.

Just my view, you understand, I'd stick with option 4 but work a bit on that 'A'.

I'm going to completely disagree with mike. I don't like particularly like any of this last group because all the emphasis seems to be on the 'A'. If it were my logo I would want more emphasis on a strong word like 'different' or even 'view'.

I did say best of the bunch! :-)

I'd also agree with you.

Thanks everyone for you feedback!
All of it is greatly appreciated, really!

It's been a lot of fun working on the logo.
But now I'm thinking that maybe Option 1, the first one I created, was the best candidate.

Of course, if you all have any suggestions, or ideas, I'd love to hear them. :)

Just a suggestion.........

could you use a lower case 'V' and run 'A' 'd' 'v' diagonally accross the page? What I mean is move 'view' more to the right.

My favourites would be Option 1 or Option 8 - though on the latter I'd keep the ff the same colour as the rest of the text; doesn't serve any purpose or attract attention as it is.
