A little intro: Graphic Design isn’t really my thing and the last time I did design was back in 2007… until today that we need to brand our new wedding videography studio. Because of budget constraints, I had to try my hand again to pencil in a logo (will go through the trouble of relearning Illustrator later on).
After numerous concepts, this is the sketch that my partner liked the most.
I have been gathering feedback from friends and I’ll be definitely looking forward for any unbiased feedback from experts like you. For example, I’d like to know:
- What are the top keywords/message that pop in your mind when you saw
the logo (albeit still a sketch)?- What letters, in your opinion, are visible? (I’m going for the easy readability of the logo)
- Are there any logos you have seen that is too similar to this one? (If so, I will take it into consideration and modify the logo)
- Where do you think I should improve on/any advice to improve
This is the sketch I am talking about (Sorry for the hastily shot and unprocessed image):
Thank you for your time – take care! 🙂
Answer
Good job!
What are the top keywords/message that pop in your mind when you saw
the logo (albeit still a sketch)?
I second @DA01 – it does not matter, really. What it does have, is “swooshiness” and elegance. As the sketch is right now, it is too “heavy”, too dark. But that of course will change.
What letters, in your opinion, are visible? (I’m going for the easy
readability of the logo)
I have no problem seeing DV; to me there is no S in there.
Are there any logos you have seen that is too similar to this one? (If
so, I will take it into consideration and modify the logo)
No, not to my knowledge.
Where do you think I should improve on/any advice to improve
I think this is pretty solid work as it is.
What I would keep in mind though, is to make the final one fairly light. And with that I mean subtle choice of colours, easy on (if any) shadows, outlines, accompanying fonts etc.
This because of the wedding-thing; you want colours that does not take away too much from what will likely be classic wedding colours such as cream, pastels, white, lace-ish etc.
The thing is: many people want – and associate – cream, white, pastels with weddings: the traditional choice of colours. What I do think you manage here, is to also capture the potential for less traditionally-minded clients. A very good thing.
But this all stands or falls on the final colouring and in what context. If you are going to use this as watermark too, I think that will work nicely.
Keep it simple.
