Hrmm, haven’t posted in here for a while… This is for a client, Bookstar Artist Management Made the letters in Flash… I don’t know, its a more free, creative workspace than illustrator, for me anyways… But, Excuse the cheesy gloss effect. 🙂 ![](http://www.maybe-tomorrows-ashes.com/clients/bookstar/bookstar.jpg) BEe Dub! ![](http://www.maybe-tomorrows-ashes.com/clients/bookstar/logo_flat.jpg) ---

😛 digging this out again, We’ve decided to go with my original logo (albeit with much more tweaking and stuff) for two reasons: 1.) The logo mock ups paddy and bird-e did were amazing, but gave the company name too much of a publishing company feel, as opposed to rocking and/or rolling. 2.) They also reminded me too much of [**this**](http://images.google.ca/images?q=scholastic&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi) But thanks anyways lads, you really went above and beyond with those mock ups… further than I did with the logo we’re going with lol, but, sometimes thats life… I guess ? :fab: ---

I have nothing useful to say relevant to you, but [QUOTE=fasterthanlight™;2316770]And the stroke on the star is small because the thicker you make the stroke, the more rounded some of the inside edges become.[/QUOTE] You just have to mitre the corners. ---

I just selected mitre in the line properties. You’re right, maybe that is too much 😛 ---

> [@fasterthanlight™;2324254](#): > > We’ve decided to go with my original logo (albeit with much more tweaking and stuff) I still think it’s very weak. Both stylistically and accessibly. I presume that the BS would be used as part of a lock up with the name and I’d like to see how you’re going to do this. I think that this logo could be a lot better and I don’t think you’ll be happy with yourself if you settle for what you have. Don’t present sub-par work, even if the client is OK with it. It’s your work after all. :puzzled: Keep working on it. Did the client give you a company projection? Where do they see themselves and their brand in 1 year/2 years/5 years? Right now it seems like there’s no thought or planning in the concept and that will be a problem in the future. Get brainstorming Jamie because you’re a very gifted illustrator and you have a good eye for design. I know you can do better. :p:
