Hey all, Made this logo in Photoshop for a non-profit I work with that does online geography tutorials and expeditions. Props to Robouk’s site for some very helpful tutes. Let me know what you think!

Me likes. Very crisp looking. I think maybe it might look better if you put some other markers, maybe not E, S, and W, but…some lines of some sort? and for some reason I find it unsettling that it is crooked…I dont know why though. But, as for the photoshop work, good job. Looks yummyC:-) ---

I debated adding the E, W, S, but I wanted to keep it nice and lean. Figured having just the N up top would signify “compass.” I like your idea about some lines - maybe a knocked-back compass rose under the needle … ? :cowboy: jcs ---

alrighty then. Here is v.2. I added a compass rose and righted the body, but rotated the reflection on the casing to still be on the bottom. Not sure about the rose. Might be too much. :-\ Or might just need more work … 😏 jcs [http://www.juniorastronauts.com/compass2.html](http://www.juniorastronauts.com/compass2.html) ---

oh looks alot better to me. I can’t tell if that rose is too much or not…hmmm…maybe…thin up the needle? hehe, I don’t know. seems like it would look good. But yea man, I like that alot. GOOD JOB! ---

yes, yes, I know: Safari. Thank you, Ren, for the call-out. I’d be remiss if I denied I knew of its existence, but I’d been working on a simpler, flatter, line logo for awhile and no one’s been thrilled. Safari’s icon gave me the idea to try a more realist version which has gone over well. In fact, I didn’t add the compass rose because I noticed the Safari logo looked too busy. Didn’t want it to be a rip off, but, really, how many different ways can you draw a compass? :hangover: ---

I’m sure we could find something on the net that looks like everything else too. I don’t think it looks like a rip off at all, and as jcs said, how many different ways can you make a compass. again…GOODJOB ---

Cheers, Gimmie. Much obliged. I don’t at all blame RenaissanceGirl for noting similarities. I think it’s very healthy to have a community that says to its members, “yes, but …” or “did you consider …” So I thank you both for your guidance and welcome any others! 😛 ---

yeah, its cool when its “contructive feedback” but…just showing you a picture of something that looks a little bit similar? that to me is a silent way of saying “look, you copied” which im sure was her point in the first place. (but i could be wrong!) (an explanation would be nice .C:-)
