personal logo - repost

[mikeconti]

Hello,

here's a logo im working on in class - it's a branding logo for myself


Color Significance:

Bright Yellow - color of Oahu (where I was raised)
Magenta - color of Maui (where my family is originally from)

*actually magenta isn't the true color of Maui, it's pink. The softness of pink wouldn't translate well
so I made it a darker/deeper pinkish... magenta.

There's two main elements in this logo:
1) The top part which symbolizes the city of oahu and it's buildings - you
can also see the "J" in there. * My name's not really mikeconti.
2)The lower "A" represents myself under the city or holding up the city.

also I thought the top part could symbolize a crown maybe?

at first I left everything flat and kinda liked how things looked but it seemed to be
missing something. There were a few attempts at tweaking different parts of the
logo like:

- beveling the "A" so it's kinda raised up
- adding a few outlines to the top to signify bricks. (bricks, city, graffiti, rawness, solid)
- adding an outline over the whole logo. not too sold on this one
- changing the colors all together; I think I'm too sold on the idea of: city and color

I wanted a logo that had a strong feeling attached to it but simple; nothing too complex.
The area of design I'm into is illustrations and print work. That's another thing that was
possible for this logo - changing the buildings to pens, markers, paint brushes, etc. based
upon the area i'm working in. I tried to change it to pencils or markers but just didn't like
the way t was turning out and i felt that kinda complicated things too much.

please, if it sucks say so. i'm thinking about scrapping the altogether. thanks for your time

all the time you spent explaining what the colors are what the logo is supposed to mean, what we are supposed to see in it etc. unfortunately none of that comes through in the logo. bevels and outlines are not going to help it. starting over seems like a good plan.
