Hello, again

The logo itself is just black and white. The background is primarily just for presentation. I have an alternate black on white version for lighter backgrounds.

The site is an amateur video upload site for music videos.

Oh, and even though the name implies guitars, the client mentioned not wanting to direct potential users to thinking that guitars were the main focus.

Looks very clip-arty - not iconic or memorable as a logo should be. It might even be better without the music scale - but you should be working on other ideas too.

As always... jmho.

I'd take out the scale, try and keep it simple.

not keen on using capitals and lowercase letters, makes it messy.

sorry but this looks really clip-arty, whatever your next design is, make sure there is a sense of foundation or stability, this looks like it's floating around- I think that's primarily due to the scale. It looks like the scale is a background and thats not something you want to have in a logo.

Hey man... pay attention on youtube signature.

the logo will be paste as signatures in that corner of videos???

the first thing all we need to pay attention is what will be the main media that uses the logo... it will be OK there? "how much % sattisfaction guarantee"? :P

what kind of shape the people will see on reduced video size?

I thing it's all wrong... it's outdated, so cliche, make the site stupid.

sorry but that's my opinion.

yes I'm brazilian xD

I think there are branding errors.

There is no focus on potential users.

If you want guittar videos, play ONLY it Sam.

What disgrace will be videos from so different styles using the logo that could be near the guitar or why guittar entusiasts may tolerate Britney's videos at the same place?

yes I'm brazilian xD

Unfortunately, I see a return trip to the proverbial drawing board.

Sans drawing, of course.

It is completely vector, and it was all drawn with shapes in Illustrator, except for the 3d effect which was done with the extrude and bevel function, just in case anyone is implying there was any clip art used here,

No one has to LIKE my work, but at least it IS my own work.

nobody is saying you ARE using clipart, they say it LOOKS like clipart.

agreed. whether you made it or bought it, it still looks clipartish. it has no soul, it's lifeless. even with the attempt at motion.

I suppose it was the comment "Sans drawing, of course." that set me off. It hasn't been a good couple of days for me.

My comment wasn't directed at you personally. I didn't mean that you didn't create this yourself, what I meant that going back to the drawing board, sans drawing, was that people don't actually sketch anymore, just go straight to computer.

Sorry you were offended, and rightfully so.

It's okay. As I said, it's been a bad week. I've had TWO relatives die in the past few days just months after a very close cousin. I may be a little more sensitive than usual.

And I've got dozens of full little yellow legal pads chock full of doodles.....lol

Check out the Sweatshop logo in the beginning how they made it really simple.
