newest logo..please critique

hey everybody,

I have been working on this project and have come down to these 4 different logo types....but I can't figure out which one to pick... Tear me up if they are horrible ..... no really!
Thanks in Advance

I like the first one the most. I think if you make the lines a little bit bolder maybe the letters will become more obvious?..

I don't get number too. Really, what do the arrows have to do with shoes?

As for the number 4, it doesn't seem to be quite ballanced...

I like the colors...I don't think the over use of the glassy look is complimenting the design? I agree w/Resurepus, what do these have to do with the shoes? I would pick 3 as my favorite.......(I also noticed the type looks over kerned)...I think your on the rite start....just refine, tweak alittle:)

the arrows have to do with moving around jumping up and down...anything to do with walking etc... lol I will try to take all of your advice on all the logos and then post a "remake" of them....

The first an the third one has got the most potential in my opinion. What about playing on the third one and making a pair of shoes from E and S? Just an idea .

I agree with the others mostly.

I think they all should lose the drop shadows and gradients.

I like #1 and #3. #2 wouldn't be bad if you made the arrows more creative. Perhaps add springs or something to it to symbolize jumping and moving? Up and down arrows seems mechanical, and people don't move that way.

Good luck with them

Spring! yea thats sounds good... I also like Seawise' idea of making shoes of the ES (3) thanks for the crits so far...... Nothing brutal wow I am suprised lol

Uniment1 :
take a look at this link article, title : WHAT MAKES A GREAT LOGO

i just saw it awhile ago, i think it's a good tips in creating a good logo

I like the simplicity of the first logo, but somehow there is nothing that connects the lines with the words - they seem like separate entities. I very much like the colours throughout the sample though.

I wouldn't know which one to choose though.... Is it an option to design a new one that is in some way connected with shoes...?

Yea anything is a possiblility at this point .... I am going to try something of this sort as also suggested by seawise...I am open to anything....

much too shiney...and those colours look more south american than they do euro

hope that helps

My very warm thanks goes out to everybody who has critqued this so far and those who are yet to come.... I will rework these in a day or so (working on another project at this moment) and will re-post a better version.... taking into consideration of everbodys remarks... I will try not to leave anybody out.... Thanks again

I think what you are Raja is saying is a good point, about the colours anyway. It would be nice to see a few different colours.

I think that the glass effect is nice though...
Nice Work

James

Thanks James ... I will try a few other colors....

The design in the logo is strongest, I believe in logo #4. It's the cleanest design. The exception would be in the sort of circular, pale transparency over the top half of the logo. I would keep the text simple too. A Clean sans serif typeface. Think simple but solid. Not too much shadow, or glare effect, as it takes away from the logo itself. hope this helps.

number 2 and 3 are my favorites... arrows don't really seem to explain identity but design wise they look nice

hey..nice colors there...among the four i like no.3 the best..jus a little thinner mayb if at all any change is needed...am not a pro so jus goin by looks n no real designin fundas!

Well I'm guessing that the site is about shoes, why did you not incorporate that into a logo? Well I don't know what I thinks best, no.3 is bevelled to much. Hmm. I like number 1 best because of it's simplicity.

I love the colors used ... and I think if you added a bit of glare to the third logo it would definately be the best. They're all really nice though.

I like the idea of the arrows. I think it would be interesting if you could work another imagary into it, even if it was just working them around in different stylish ways. The arrows are a good idea, but it needs to be expanded on. I'd like to see some different color combinations too!

Nice work.
