how's this for a personal logo for my site? is it a bit cheesy?
It's a bit too unreadable and busy IMO. Doesn't look bad though.

it's very very busy and a bit distracting. i like the button idea and the font is pretty neat (though maybe a little hard to read at first glance) but maybe make the background words a colour somewhere between the main orange and the background orange, or a mid grey or something, it's too dark as it is imo

How about you make the black words transparent/a bit darker than the background so that they're not so distracting...
Also, added imMonkeyGOD's support Japan shirt to the Highlights!
Hey, the OP says not to beg, which I want to say I am not right now. Anyway, I need a logo for a business I am opening. I am fluent in Photoshop and Illustrator but my creative juices aren't flowing. I have been trying to wrap my head around a design and can't come up with anything.
I would like the get the site up ASAP. I have everything else in order pretty much, now I just need a logo. Time is money right now and the sooner I get this taken care of, the sooner the money comes in. I am offering a paid job to anyone that can help. I would rather use someone here than go to one of those big companies where they outsource to India.
If you are interested in helping, you can reach me at [email]evan.madore@gmail.com[/email] anytime. We can discuss more details and payment then. Thanks.
okay I'm too lazy to change that logo right now, but do you think it goes with the rest of my updated site design?

Also, any improvements I can make on that design/layout would be great too
thanks

I don't need details, but what kind of business is this and at what level (i.e. high end or something small and mom-and-pop like, or something online only).
It would be a good idea to disclose this information as someone who is really good at logo design but yet has a style that favors a very feminine approach to the design might not be interested in doing a logo for some online machine shop company (for example).
It is an online PC building company called SimRigs. The PC's are built and marketed toward sim racers.

[B]no.5 star map[/B]
in this brief we were to work with words, and come up with a collective noun for a profession, and then explore this visually. i chose [I]a constellation of astronomers[/I] as i've always been interested in astronomy, and then it all sorta led to this. originally i was going to get a big piece of dark blue/black acrylic and cut the holes out where the 'stars' are, and put little LED lights through so you could hang it on your wall/ceiling and it would look like the night sky... but i ran out of time and money and just did this instead. considering the amount of time i've spent on it i'm not really happy with the outcome, i know it could be a lot better, but i just don't have the energy to work on it any more. ah well, it was quite fun to do!

Made a little logo for an upstart computer repair company.

I think for receipts you should stick to just 1 colour, and have something simpler than what you have currently - perhaps just text in a nice font with some subtle stylizing
avoid gradients and glows, make the logo as flat as possible if it's going to be for receipts...
[QUOTE=barttool;31181723]avoid gradients and glows, make the logo as flat as possible if it's going to be for receipts...[/QUOTE]
It's sort of hard to describe what the client wanted when he said receipt, but he gave me a sample and I sort of volunteered my services. He had a plain text title with some sort of Microsoft Word text effect applied. This isn't a massively serious operation by any means; it's just a little service run out of someone's house. the "receipt" is more or less just a piece of A4 with information printed on it using an inkjet :v:
Well, I posed the idea that we'd both run two parts of the same group in our respective areas. That means I'm not a computer repair person. Lovely. Well, I mocked up a version of the logo for my own use:
[thumb]http://i.imgur.com/pKDST.png[/thumb]
I like this one a lot more (AND not because it has my name plastered on it). Any thoughts? This will most likely appear on all printed materials, including self-made ads (I'll be supplying flatter versions to the local newspaper when/if I progress that far).
We each got a mythical creature or person and had to design a sports logo based from it. I got the Phoenix
I chose ice hockey (don't really know why just thought it would be fun).
I might try and make it more Phoenix looking. But what does everyone think so far?

Looks more like a hawk.

I can see the hockey, but not the Phoenix. It reminds too much of just ''bird''.
You could show some kind of fire symbolism, referencing the phoenix's rebirth, I dunno. Other than that, it's really good.
Yeah now that I look at it it really looks nothing like a Phoenix.
It doesn't really look like anything. There is a beak. A >.< eye. Half-helmet and speed stripes.
Together it forms... Lines. I don't really see the unity, and the way nothing is connected makes it even less of a unit and more like several lines being weird together.
Really needs to work on showing more fundaments of a phoenix and make the helmet look more like a helmet, and as if it was on the bird's head (which you need a more bird-looking head to do).
I think you can drop the stripes as well, they are distracting, but preferably make two different versions, one with and one without and see what works the best.
Basically it needs to be clearer, make it more obvious, make it into a single unit. The whole cutting off the lines to show the other lines is good, but everything doesn't really give a clear and distinct impression of what they really are and thus cutting off the lines all over the places just makes it even harder. At least that is my 25 dimes on the matter.

When I think phoenix I think fire
It could be any type of bird really..

I thought the helmet/stripes was it's wing?
[QUOTE=Vita;31202684]I thought the helmet/stripes was it's wing?[/QUOTE]
That would be the most retarded illustrative representation of wings I've seen so far if that would be the case.
Well be glad it's not. I'll post the updated version once I get it up to scratch. Thanks for the advice folks.
