I recently redesigned my logo fo my portfolio, it’s not a huge change but I’ve wanted to change it for a while because my square-ish logo did not fit a lot of things like Gravatar very well. So I made a few tweaks and made a round and square one. I seem to remember that people around here were brutally honest in their design critiques so please tell me what you think and I’ll take it like a champ. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/kirupa/original/2X/0/0830bfda594aedc734b22ac010626a36b40ceddd.png) Round: ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/kirupa/original/2X/2/24042ac56ae367148918a4bbe40f42c96b54a79b.png) And just to compare to my old logo: ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/kirupa/original/2X/0/0608cd5fef613fd17f457c313c19f654215b95a3.jpg) ---

It’s an improvement I think. ---

I like all the changes to the shape itself, but I think it looks a little awkward in a circle (and a square, but less so) because it’s so left-heavy. ---

Thanks for the feedback, you two. Alltom I agree the circle especially looks awkward, the circle is just to ensure that Gravatar and other circle avatars look OK. Also when you say left heavy, I’m not sure I understand… I thought if anything it’d be right heavy because so much of the F is out there (although the italicized text does skew things to the left). ---

Maybe when you say “right heavy” you think if you pushed it, it would fall to the right? I think that’s true too and makes it feel a little unstable. 🙂 But by “left heavy” I mean that there’s a lot of green on the left and a lot of white on the right. Not that this makes sense to the design at all, but putting anything in the negative space balances it for me: ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/kirupa/original/2X/a/a04e3c5f31a4ceaa7ece77fcce873d08e0e171cb.png) ---

One thing might be to have the text be a little smaller when inside the circle. It seems too close to the edges and looks a little too cramped. Another thing you could try is having the circle outline be a bit thicker (to mimc the thickness of the letters) and be a darker shade of the green you are using for the logo itself. 🙂 ---
