Not too happy with these but Crits welcome

My client provided me with some sketches of what they want for a logo here is one. see next post for my submission

This is what I put together. 1a is a wild card I always throw one of those in. They are totally sold on the idea of the logo being 3d. I could not convince them other wise. So let me have it ya’ll.

I think the gray is not the best choice of colors for the background, but I don’t really know.
Maybe it would look cool if you indented the letters into the block, instead of outdented(that’s a word, I swear).
It’s not bad though, I like it, but it could be better I think, especially seeing your other logos.

oh yeah, the colors were hand picked :trout: by them… They really tied my hands on this one. But I will try the indent idea…definately.

maybe try the u on the top of the block?

tried it…it looked very whacked and off balance. I think the indented idea will work much better

the more I look at it. The more I dont like it…ggrrrrr…And I cant put this cr@p out there.

1b is the cleanest out of these. you mind showing us a version with the U on top?

I like 1 :slight_smile: no joke it’s fine I think but lets see the “indented” :be:

yeah, 1b is nice out of the group, i wouldnt mind seeing the rendered sketch from your first post, hate to see that this client is dragging this job out for you…:frowning:

what if you made the “U” the floor, and have the “E” sticking up the front right side - and make that it - no walls or cub just u as the bottom face and the e as the front right face.

wont that make the u look like a reversed C though pr?

putting the arms of the U facing NorthWeat and the curve facing SouthEast won’t…

Hmmm… I don’t agree w/ that font usage on any of the logos. I don’t know that the font itself is very impacting. I don’t really think any logo is stronger than the other as they are all the same except for a different font. Not really feelin’ the UE on the box either, dunno just seems like it’s not strong enough.

One thing that I do like though is 1c’s and 1’s drop shadow behind the box. I don’t think a drop shadow works for logos but, if you make a maybe 3-4 pt stroke around it I think you would get the same impact, and help set it off.

Anywho that’s just my lowley opinion.

yea I agree with just about all comments. This is the first time my hands have ever been completely tied when doing a logo. Everything was picked and decided before I even stepped in the room. But I am going to put together their concepts and still try to push another concept (mine). But they are pretty sold on everything you see here. Font and all. :trout: And yes this has been drug out. I actually forgot they were a client for a while…lol. I was waiting for feedback on some other logos and it took quite a long time. But I’ll some better stuff to post a little later.
