Just soliciting some feedback 
Itās a concept for the Counterform Graphics Design club here at SCAD.
quite good, but i think it lacks of colorā¦
all logos should lack color in the concept phase. color has the ability to emotionally manipulate and taint your audience, and when choosing a design, can often get in the way of the art. people make decisions/react to the color used rather than the lines or composition, so itās always important to start off with black or white.
once a concept is chosen, and the design itself is accepted and has recieved the āstamp of approvalā, then itās easy enough to go back and add color.
also, Iāve found the same concept applies to website design, and often present clients with āgrayscaleā versions of their sites, to nail down the design concepts. youād be amazed at how many times Iāve submitted a design in one color to have the clients despise the ādesignā, only to change up the scheme and suddenly have them love it. color is a powerful tool.
sorry if I wasnāt more clear about the color issue 
oh thanks for thisā¦
In my opinion, the first design has more impact. For the most part itās down to the name underneath.
The third one I feel has the text too small, itās like an afterthought. It fades into the logo too much at a first glance, and that is what most people will probably be giving it to start with.
Number twoā¦ Itās good in that itās different, but somehow the alignment of the text doesnāt work for me. Maybe because of the large amount of white space it leaves above before the logo image begins? That could be whatās throwing it off.
The first one is probably a more traditional arrangement, but I think it works the most effectively.
Thanks for the feedback, both of you.
So, what do you think of the logo proper, aside fromt he type treatment? Is it successful?
I initially wanted to go with something much more curvy, much more serpentine, but when this idea popped in my head, it seems to work. Thereās something āfamiliarā about it, though I donāt think Iāve seen it before. For me, thatās a plus, because itās immediately comfortable to the viewer.
But, thatās just my take, so Iām open to any and all analysis
I like the logo. I guess I would have to go with 3 based on the placement of the text. The other 2 the text placement looks odd to me. But the logo is nice. I hope you dont mind but I played with your logo to provide a look I thought would be a nice alternative to the other 3 (rather than try to explain). It is just a suggestion.
btw tried tomatch your font. I thought it was weezerā¦so sorry for butchering the font but hopes u get the point
Not a bad suggestion at all!
thanksā¦I think it keeps the eye focused on that fine specimen of a logo you have there. but that is just my .02
i like the first you did, but i do not like 3divas at all, sorryā¦
The logo itselfā¦ Iām really reminded of Thorās avatar right now, but that could be because itās 5pm, Iāve been stuck at work all day and my eyes are crossing. :sure:
Iād say that the C is way more visible than the F, though that may well be the intention all along. It leaves a lot of white space. However, that could get filled up with colour once you do that (I donāt know, obviously), so the point may be irrelevantā¦
In all, I like it. As I mentioned before, itās quite ātraditionalā in some senses, but itās still visually appealing and tells you what you want to know.
totally agree on that colour issue you were mentioning before. nice run down on how it is.
About the logo:: i think what you did with combining the C and F in that particular way is awesome, at first i didnt see it , but thats some nice composition work.
Now for the company name , i must say only no3 gives the logo any justice, but i also agree that its too small (a after thought as kit said) it is pretty hard based on the length of the name and the shape and angle of your logo. maybe have the name run down the F shape? have it centre below the logo ! or have it to the right of the logo centre. (all straight NOT angled)
why not angle the text you ask? , because i believe that type at a angle gives the reader a off balance feel, straight is so much more stronger as well, it will compliment the angle feel to the logo making the angle stand out while keeping the text legible and powerful.
Bleu/Q!! Nice to see you again man, I like the third logo you did the best, personally. Itās a nice clean design. I really like it. Nice job as always.
first is best by far, but nice to see other ideas with it to support.
3Dās suggestion is a good one for sureā¦maybe consider that one too.
Unflux! Love the new look! :love:
thx! i figured it was time for something new
