Opinions Please - Logos

You seem to use basic fonts as the main design element to your logo's. Maybe if you
try to work out some simple illustrations or get creative with your fonts it might help your designs break out of the box.

I have updated my site... Check out wgradlportfolio.atspace.com - Let me know if these are better. Thanx

gestalt, google it. Check out duffy.com for great logo examples.

I think simplicity is key, here. Learning to center your logo design on a solid, simplistic thought or ideal can be paramount to a great final design. Learn typography. Learn what types of fonts are out there and where they're best utilized. buy or get a decent book on typography and don't just thumb through it. READ it. Probably several times.

Search the web for basic vector tutorials (you can find some at adobe.com). maybe get Layers magazine or some other publication that wil help you keep your finger on the pulse of conteporary design.

The thing that suckout to me as I loked at your logos was the static nature of them all. They all seem to be representing a company thet doesn't really kow who they are. in short, they do not give a strong sense of identity and this is critical. (They sorta all look like do-it-yourself legal firm logos...)

Look around and find examples of really great, simplistic logos that convey a solid identity.

Hope this helps.

York work is OK. But next time when you have to show some of your works to the public make sure there is enough free space around each design, so the viewers can “breathe” .
Don’t place all the logos so close . Give them some freedom.

I also think the problem are the fonts (the graphics can be more simple too...). If you try to make your own you can see how diferent it looks.

Thanks for all the feedback - I appreciate it.
