This is a logo I made for myself. It shows my initials CPW. Let me know what you think

It is for my business cards etc. to present myself as a graphic designer. My goal was to come up with something to show creativity and professionalism. All feedback is welcome.

If it has to communicate that ypu are a graphic designer I don‘t get it. The creativity is far to find. It rather corporate and dated. If I read quickly I read SPW.

So sorry. Everything about the mark feels forced together. Nothing flows. However, even if the execution was spot on (and that's very difficult to do) I'm afraid the combination of the C/P would read as an 'S'.

Besides, why limit yourself to your initials? Why not "Dancing Monkey Designs" or "Ninja Gorilla" or "Captain Bob's String Time Jamboree & Design Studio" or "Watch This Studios!"

I just pulled those names right out of my a**.

How about something that tells me you are a CREATIVE! You got half a second to knock my socks off, and you want to show me your monogram?

Really?

Without my sense of direction, I don't know where I'd be.

This would be a great logo if you worked in a law firm. Maybe.

Round 1. You need to get to Round 4 or 5 on this.

Sorry but it really looks like an aesthetically horrible retardation. What's worse is that it looks like you just butchered some originally beautiful Times New Roman letters in five minutes. I am sad to say that my first logo at university was heaps better than this. A MASSIVE NO from me.

I suggest you try to modify or design your own typeface so as to inject some kind of unique personality into it. Alternatively, try creating a pictogram or shape of something that is unique to you. Perhaps in the shape of a birthmark or something meaningful. You need to be able to justify why you've done your logo a certain way to other people or clients.

Perhaps there's an interesting personality story, philosophy or enlightening experience hidden in its simplicity that is significant to you.

Delve deep. This is you. This is your mark and first impression with the world. Introduce yourself. Say something worthwhile.
