I MADE THIS LOGO FOR A CLOTHING COMPANY, THAT SELL TO ALL GENDERS UNDER 30, BUT I FEEL IT NEEDS A LITTLE MORE WORK DONE ANY IDEAS. BE AS HARSH AS YOU WANT...

One question, do you feel this is something that is easily put into fabric and will look good once there?

Just saying.

Lose the bubble formation. Or atleast don't use it the way you have.

If i put in as much time into my comment as you did into this concept I'd have stopped typing at "put".

people wouldnt hire a doctor "just starting out in this business" to do their heart surgery. why on earth do they continually put the heart of their business in the hands of an equally unqualified designer?

judith, i hate to come off as a dickhead or even unwelcoming. because this is a great place for young designers to learn. so i hope we dont chase you off with our feedback on this piece.

but this logo pretty much violates every principle of good design.

there is no hierarchy to the components
the fonts overlay the graphics resulting in multiple uncomfortable tangents
there are way too many closure / proximity issues
youve skewed the type
there is no attention paid to negative space

this is the "friday" or "three second rule" of logos.

start over.

Hate to jump on the pile, but...

A logo should say something about the company. Anyone who looks at a logo should at least get SOME idea what the company might be selling. I do not see that here. I don't understand what the bubbles are for or how they relate to clothing (not that you told me it's a clothing manufacturer). That's the first problem.

You're telling us this is a clothing company for all genders under 30. But the bubbles seem very junior teen or lower, while the font choice looks more like the 50+ (or 60+) crowd.

How will this translate to the clothing? It's a tough stitch job and it probably won't fit on blet buckles or buttons or all the other accessories where you see designer logos on clothes.

My suggestion... go to the mall and spend some time looking at what other clothing manufacturers in that age range have done. Get some ideas on sizes, shapes, applications, etc... Then start over.

I like bubbles but this mix doesn't work for me IMHO.

there is a "downforce" (left to down) that bothers me.

yes I'm brazilian xD

Try using the font alone. Get rid of the circles. The name 'Danny Bill' transmits something bold and masculine. Choose a font in relation to the 'name pronounciation'. Hope this will help.
