I like the second one better. The first one is real blocky, whereas the 2nd one - although still maintaining the blockiness - provides a retreat from that as well as a new color definition (the orange). My 2 cents. ---

#1 It looks very old-fashioned though. Are you going for that look? ---

well the computer icon looks very Apple II and the font is somewhat typical (though I know not the same) of the kinds of mono types that were used then as well. ---

I definitely like #1 now that you added that highlight effect. I like the 2nd one as well, but it reminds me of Mario or Mickey Mouse because of the hand/glove look. The branding for that type of label is already there so I’d stick with #1. ---

#4 is actually the one that stands out here in my opinion. Hope it helps. BTW what does the company actually do? ---

Four looks nice at that size, but any smaller and it’s just going to be a gray box. I’d go with either 1 or 3, as they are more scalable and just better in my opinion. I like number 1 the most. Also, monitors are more wide the tall, something you might want to take into consideration ---

4 is good, but 1 or 3 make a better logo… the other two would not scale well, and would be impossible to recognize in a small image… Logo’s should traditionally be scalable vector art, viewable and recognizable at all sizes, and even in black and white… or so i say… ---

well 4 is cool but if the logo will needed to be printed on a box or a hat or w/e that would be expensive! If that makes any sense, 1 would be the best 🙂 ---

thanks for the replies all! I vote for #4 too but #1 it´s better for printing and it looks good big and small, I guess the last word it´s in the client 🙂 I´ll show him the logos and see which one he picks ---

Don’t pick 4. 4 looks like you just did some stupid \*\*\* tutorial and slopped the logo on, do any of the others besides 4…I like 3…simple is better, these guys are all graphic design idiots. [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/critic-this-simple-logo/111296.md?page=2)
