Self Redesign - Updated with Blog Layout Preview


Lemniscate

Recommended Posts

Well, I have decided to redesign myself, in a number of ways.

I will soon be launching a design blog, I currently have one, but I will be revamping the appearance with my own template, and will also be providing original materials.

I will also be resigning my moderator and administrator positions on other sites, to give me more time to devote on developing skins for blogs, ipbfree forums, and myBB. I will be releasing things much more often, and redesigning my twitter account to match my new logo and website.

Here is a first draft of my logo, this was done in GIMP, I will be re-doing it in a more detailed fashion in Illustrator, so that it's vectored.

I am really looking for thoughts on whether this looks, creative, professional, and whether it is memorable enough to create a good public persona for myself.

 

Anyways, I would love your input.

Split opinions TBH. The logo seems simple, yet good but it just looks wrong somehow, in a bad way, but I don't know what it is that's wrong... But no, I doubt it'd be memorable enough to symbolize you. You need something more epic ;D

Logo seems very simple' date=' text is just...AWFUL.

The simplicity of the logo is purposeful. Logos are meant to be something to stick in a person's head, making it too complicated defeats the purpose.

And on the text, it is a personally customized font (I forget what font was the base). I am going to be fixing the "s", which I know it a bit too blocky on the ends. Is there anything else that you dislike about the text?

On the logo, I am going to be making it better, this is really just a preliminary draft. I will be making it more 3-dimensional, and once I have the design set in stone, I am going to set it up on Illustrator, and make it visually interesting, beyond the capabilities of GIMP.

As for as memorability, I am going to be making this more interesting, as already said. One central point that I want to portray with this logo is the idea of unity, which is why I chose the design that I did, because the individual section all form a continuous loop, but it also very geometric and minimalist, which I like.

I am going to working on version 2 soon enough. I'll post it as soon as it is ready.
