Personal Logo

Hi, my name is Nico Sala and I am currently developing a hand drawn logo for myself. I was wondering if you guys could give me a critique?

I like doing motion, fashion style print design, and all that jazz.

Also, the primary use will be for my menu bar on my portfolio site I am currently building.

I get a distinct A from it.

Yeah, you’ve got an ’A’ and an ’f’ there. It may be helpful to you to look at the inherent strokes of the letters you’re abstracting. Generally if you keep the thicks in place you’ll maintain legibility.

I see two A’s, one upside-down.

Nico, your mark is pretty but not legible. Go back to sketching on paper before working on the computer. Also if you plan to continue designing your mark in a similar style to what you have posted you should re-think the type face you pair with it. Good luck.
