Pixel Media Logo

I notice you have several new posts on this. Next time, please post all new image files to the same thread.

This one is okay, but try to first separate the icon from the logotype. This logo is way too busy to be used yet.

I already commented on one of your posts. I'm sorry that I didn't notice this and (if I hear Nat correctly) others, too.

This one says 1950s floor tiles to me. If you want to concentrate on saying something about pixels by using actual pixelation in the logo, the shapes need to be pixel-shaped (square), I would think.

I would also advise against running type over any of the shapes.

Are all these Pixel Media posts from the same person or has a beginning graphic design class decided this forum is a way to complete an assignment?

When students post this kind of stuff, what exactly are working, professional designers on this forum suppose to contribute? I always felt that student assignments should not become a group project, otherwise what's the point of it at all.

Zelda, Jim and Flounder (and others, posting then deleting their threads) all appear to be the same person, or at least they all share the same level of talent. I recommmend they work with their instructor, do some research, and ultimately learn to approach a design assignment with a little more effort. Students need to communicate more with their instructors.

I accept that I might be totally wrong with my opinion, so this is not meant to bring you down or start a flamewar. I'm just commenting whether CreativeBits should be a part of student assignments. I feel that it should not.

I've really enjoyed contributing to posts by designers new in the business. You can tell instantly that they're putting not only the effort but also their heart into it. When these posts come with the message "It's for a company" "or "It's a school assignment", it's easy to see there's neither effort or heart involved.

And so it goes.

Well said, Gary. I agree with you. I hadn't noticed these efforts were posted by different people.

It's hard to know when posters are students, or just designers who may not express themselves well in English and/or are just starting their design careers (although one might expect greater sophistication in even a newbie, unless they've been literally thrown into a chair from out of the Accounting Department and ordered to begin cranking out logos.)

It might be a good idea to just ask when the classroom/workplace venue isn't apparent. There really is a bit of an ethical concern in my mind about helping a student turn in a better assignment -- although maybe they should get Real World Points (hereinafter referred to as RWPs) for effective research ;-)

Nothing says "pixels" here. Hexagons make me think of turtle shells, beehives, space telescopes ( research it :P). Pixels on a computer screen are either square or rectangular. You need to research you ideas before putting them on paper. What was your inspiration behind this concept?
