Lucky Bird Design is tweeking...
Submitted by riskart on Mon, 2008-08-18 18:30.
Alright- now I'm getty tweeky with it. I closed up the "g" in design, and made the word a little larger. I also tried another version with the first letters a tad larger.
Am I there yet?
THANK YOU ALL!!!

2.3 is the winner.

I like 2.3 the best
I like 2.3 the best, but i think the logo could be more interesting if you somehow removed the word "bird" and left it with just the symbol. you dont always need to spell out the name in a logo, it can be a symbolic sort of thing.
Hmm
I don't agree with this. It would just look like Lucky Design..
You wouldn't read the words Lucky and see the symbol bird and think, "oh! It's lucky bird design".
I think copy and symbols together are always strong.
Just my 2 pence ;)

I agree with Jhouse
Sometimes it can work, sometimes it won't. I don't think removing the word Bird will work here. Just curious, did you try the bird facing left on the "d" of bird? I kinda like the way the word "design" in snuggled in with the other words.

yup, 2.3.
only one tiny little nitpick (and it's probably just me and it might not improve it), but i'd look at the relationship between the "gn" in design. that's the only pair of letters that doesn't connect perfectly smoothly.
"Design" still looks like
"Design" still looks like it's crammed in. An afterthought. The bird is small compared to the text. Great pieces, they just aren't put together quite right yet.
Have you tried this logo large and small? Have you tried separating the bird from the logotype? Might help you see more options with the logotype if you isolate it.

I am going to DV8 from the consensus here. I prefer option 2.2. 2.3 looks crammed. I like your colour selects and font, but I'd also try playing with a couple of other options to see how they'd work:
- try elongating the bottom serif in the "L" of Lucky to run along the base of that word; and/or
- bump the word "Design" up to the same level as "Lucky" to lend credence to the weight of the bird

3dogmama beat me to the same
3dogmama beat me to the same response. I think 2.5 looks too crammed together. 2.3 "breathes" better.
I notice that you had a swash off to the side on 2.5. Were you thinking of adding it to the end of "Design"? If you so, I would advise making it much shorter. I think it would give you a nice finish.
I saw "Lucky Bird" something on a sign somewhere yesterday and thought of you. Are you 100% sure you aren't stepping on someone's registered business name?

Thanks for all the great feedback
I don't think the name is used like this. Is there a website that I can check to make sure? (I'm new at all this business stuff)
As far as the logo, I do agree that it is a little crammed and I'll give it some air.I have done it in b/w and it looks fine. I made the bird black and the type 80%.
Thanks again everyone!!!

I agree, why type at 80%?
I agree, why type at 80%? Never screen type... gives it a jagged edge.
