“What’s a motto?”

—“Nothin’... Wat’s a-motta wit’ you?”

Hmm I cannot see much, because the letters are cut off at the bottom... Is this your intention?

Marosi dude, for a graphic desing firm your new logo lacks the following:
* a clever design idea
* a cleverly-designed, contemporary typeface
* the current zeitgeist
* coolness
* subtlety

All of these qualities are essential to the logo of a graphic design firm to show potential customers the brilliant and appealing nature of what you are going to do for them. The red squiggle looks just like the meaningless scribble used in the logos of sign-making companies employing tradesmen as ersatz designers. If you must include a hand-scrawled element, abstract is okay but make it an artful abstract squiggle suggesting something specific.

The whole thing might work better if the type is colored and the abstract part in black.

I think it still lacks cohesiveness,as it did in the early version, but in a different way.

cohesiveness

oh damn, now it looks even more like a “posh European furniture store”

that’s all I could come up with in two minutes.

james - don’t be hatin’. if we’re no longer free to improperly grammatize, then those who would threaten our way of life have already won.

anyway. i like your type use above. i was just trying to see where m’s logo might go using the same building blocks.

No stress Chuck, I thrive on improper grammar and was being silly. I get so sick of having to write everything properly.

i like your type use above.

Thanks, the color is uneven in “morosi”, but I suppose it’s eye-catching overall.

I’m trying to persuade him to use a different font. But don’t mind me, keep going with those same building blocks. The font I used hasn’t even been released yet.

james- don’t look now, but you just switched from a train to a cat.

several years ago, my nephew (three at the time) insisted he was going to be a train when he grew up. later that year, he decided he would grow into a bear instead (better career opportunities?).

happy transformation.

Cheers! When I was three I wanted to be a gleaming metal rocket ship when I grew up, but my parental units said it would be too dangerous and expensive.

Marosi, you need to try and start simple. That means no circa 1985 flourishes and script, no custom type, and don’t even work with color until everything else is done.

dear james,

the logo you have come up with is - no ‘fence - worse than mine. it has nothing that suggest a design firm. At all. rather a law firm. or whatever else but not a design firm. As you said a design firm logo needs the following:
<<* a clever design idea
* a cleverly-designed, contemporary typeface
* the current zeitgeist
* coolness
* subtlety

All of these qualities are essential to the logo of a graphic design firm to show potential customers the brilliant and appealing nature of what you are going to do for them.>>

i can‘t find any of these in that logo. the same goes to chuckgroth, too.

i‘m not saying that the suggestions are not good. the suggestions are great and thanks for them but don‘t make something that has nothing to do with your theories.

I want to contribute, but am wondering what the logo is for exactly.

it‘s for a design firm/agency

Well gee whiz dude, I think we’re on a different w
