Here is a branding Identity that I created for a golf museum in my area; just for fun and practice. I'm new to making logos, so I need some criticism because I would like to improve. Thank You !

So is that the shape of the museum? I like the logo. I'm just not understanding that outside shape.
Check out my portfolio! Let me know what you think!

To Janana128,

Yes it is from the shape of the museum. I traced it from this picture.

How do you think I could improve on the outside shape of the design, so that others will know it is a silhouette of the actual building ?

The logo might work in bigger sizes but in small sizes it gets a little bit hard to see what the text says as well what it supposed to look like.

Maybe you should separate the text from the shape/logo part and perhaps make it a little more detailed so there's no question that its a house with a golfball in front.

Made a very very rough sketch of my idea...

Please don't take this tooo serious, just my thought... good luck and keep up the good work!

I think you can still maximize the space in there. putting the tagline "Arnold palmer..." below the museum symbol is one of them.

Play around the typeface's size, or use of diff font. Another option is making the museum symbol as part of the main text. (customize the letter M perhaps?)

But I think the facade of the bldg is (4 columns) a good element to ad.

Good luck

Thanks for the suggestions !

--- tomas.brolen, I agree. The text is very hard to interpret, being that it is inside of the shape. Your sketch seems to be the more appropriate route to achieving text readability. I will give it a try.

--- baiskee, I like your suggestion of making the building apart of the word MUSEUM as the letter M. I will attempt to customize the first M with this in mind. Also, I'll take a look at some different fonts and sizes. Right now, I'm using Arial bold.

Thanks for your Advice thus far !!

I agree with Tomas. The first one is a bit cluttered and uncomfortable.

Yeah, that one's better. I guess, put nubbles on the ball, so it looks more lie what it is.

Yea, now that I think about it, it does kind of resemble a magnifying glass. Thanks for pointing that out ! -- I never viewed it that way until now. :)

Have you tried to picture the building in perspective ? To me, the view from the front resembles a toolbox. That's my first impression. Hope this helps !

My first impression of the museum drawing is that its of the side of the building. But I guess the targeted viewers would know what building it was and what direction its facing?

If that's so I think the golf ball could be taken out or moved and more detail could be added to the actual museum.

i like the second one that you've done. it looks cleaner.
i agree with atondex, maybe you could use a different view of the building. this does look a lot like a toolbox. and may i ask why you have chose these colors for this?
