I know, I know... opinions are like butt-holes: we ALL have them, and some of them stink!
But I would much appreciate it if you folks might take a moment and give me some feedback on a couple logo designs for my new company, Brilliant Eye photographic creations.

Site access: www.BrilliantEye.ca
Go to the second "i" and click on the dot over it. You'll have 7 logo ruff ideas come up on a page.

There are two basic designs, and a few different font types. Also, a dark blue colour and a lighter version of the blue.

Lemme know what #'s you like and why, and (here's the FUN part for you) lemme know the ones that you DON'T like and why.

I do appreciate your help with this survey.

I'm honest, so don't be hatin'==
I'm sorry but none do the trick for me, *cringe*
In all truth I don't like plain jane logos--
the logo for me has to express the product I am buying--
I should be able to look at the logo and just say automatically--
"THAT's a Reinman!"

Out of the group I like the one on the intro page.definately--
Which for some WIERD reason is NOT one the choices??

Of the options listed I would go with 4. But I do agree with Scion that the all are lacking something.

what up ReinMan!

Out of those I'll pick # 4, but i'm not crazy about that font ya used for "Brilliant Eye" ( too messy ) but I like the shape of it.

# 5 looks too much like it should be called Bulls Eye to me.

And I'm not liking the arrow on the rest of them at all.

sooo # 4

IMHO

I like the name
"Photography by Rein***"
It sounds gay but all the really great artist are gay--
plus it sounds like a business that's been around awhile--
I also like
"Old Van Couver Photography Company"
guaranteed to bring 'em in
I made them Up- you can have them ;-I

you could make a poll with choices 1-4 so you don't have to count out all the replies

Number three is my favorite, because the elliptical shapes are the most like an eye. (Er, the most optic?) I like the color in number four, but the distressed font doesn't quite work for me. Were I to choose a font, I'd probably choose something round, to echo the circles. Maybe Americana, if you like serifs, Avant Garde (is that Avant Garde in #1?) if you don't.

Also, the others look like somebody's getting poked in the eye with a one way street sign, which would smart.

I would lean toward #4 too -- there's just something wrong with having something pointy pocking at an eye -- maybe you could sell those to a laser surgery office.

"somebody's getting poked in the eye "
Good point *narf!* yeah-that could be a subliminal nono-
at least now you'll know why sadist are strangely attracted to your service

Easy choice: logo number two. That shade of blue is the boldest and most visually appealing, and similarly, that font is the strongest. Teal simply isn't bold enough; it's a nice complementary color (i.e., along with black or something dark) but that's about it. You also want a clear, strong font that you know will still be clear at varying sizes.

I have to agree that they're not really the most exciting choices...with a great name like that, I'd think they (you? whomever?) could come up with something a little more creative and less MS Paint-ish. Those are just my thoughts, though!

OK 5 is horrible. Sorry....but it is.

None are particularly eye-catching--just one basic style to choose from and it's just not 'you'........of all of them, I like the text in 4 & 7 best-but from the ReinMan I would expect something more POW........

ya know what I mean?

too bad about #5 - my fiance did that one

Yeah. Okay, you've all been helpful - I appreciate the input. Guess I'm gonna have to go back to the drawing board.

Thanks All!
(& SCION - you are right, the poll thing would have worked good but I'll wait until I have better ideas to present.

Perhaps I'll just take up plumbing?

Don't you dare. You just keep on doing what you do best--dropping our jaws with your photography, and curling our toes with your wit and wisdom.

We'll keep doing what we do best, and that's CRITICIZE.



Deal?

Ok Reinier,

Here goes. I don't like them all. First of all throw away the lines and the elliptical shapes. Why should a logo get a frame? So please remove them. Stick with a sans-serif font,... and don't make them Italic.

I made you a quick example to show you another approach. Logo and business-card (front and back)

Well you asked,... and I deliver Good luck.

#4's my fave. The rest are kinda plain, uncreative-looking. The eyeshape beats out the arrow, and I've never liked process blue (cyan) as a color in a logo. So, I like #4. But I also like falling out of trees.
