Amateur hour logo time again
Amateur hour logo time again
Ok, no lengthy explanations this time from me. Here are two versions:
I am aware of the watermark. I plan to buy the stock image if I decide to use it.
Obviously I am not good at this, so I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

Will you sponsor? Anyway, I am not looking for someone to do my work, just for some feedback. Judging from your response, I guess it sucks the big one?

Nope, just me being an idiot, but still ironic!

Re: Amateur hour logo time again
a) Too much going on, either use the hat or the scroll
b) when you do decide on an icon, make it abstract, using clip-art reeks of amateur hour
c) Times new roman is not a font, it is a curse, try Calibri or Helvetica
d) Stick to using 1 colour per text item. The black outline is pointless

Re: Amateur hour logo time again
How is this? (again, the character is a stock image, which I'll buy if I decide to use it)

Re: Amateur hour logo time again
"like" is a strong a word
But if I were to see that last logo on a website, I would not immediately think whoever created it spent 2 minutes in mspaint - and consequently, I would not immediately close my browser window

Just think: If there was a like button no one would have to use such strong language here.jamin_za wrote:"like" is a strong a word

Re: Amateur hour logo time again
Much batter.
Make the little man smaller, so that he is the same height as the letters, move him to the right side.
Take away the outline around the letters.
Bolden the tag line, tilt it and move it slightly away from the logo.

Win!
Just tilt the tag line the other way ( not \, but / ), and you are ready to go.
