ten twelve

If you don't like the font, then you shouldn't use it in a logo for yourself. Not sure what the little curve between the N and T are accomplishing.

I think this has good potential as you say yourself, you could definately tweak those e's and make them more, dare i say it like the new kodak logo and maybe wrap around the stroke of the n and t or something.... If you make the font less thick too that would help it be less complicated. You could even maybe use a script font or possibly create the number 10 with the n and t... Just a few initial thoughts. Be interested to see how it progresses!

but since your asking for a critique... ;)

I'm completely clueless what you're trying to communicate here.

I read "te Q welve" with a grassy blurry background. Is this an identity for your design business or portfolio?

How can a simple message of "10-12" or "ten twelve" get more messed up? Is this self promotion going to attract clients to pay for your design expertise to clearly use graphic design to communicate their ideas? If you're going to use a typographic logo to represent yourself and your graphic design skills, I'd think you would present something here for critique that at least is something you feel half-way confident in.

Sorry, but I think you need to delete this file and start over.

Yeah, I agree that It lacks loads at the moment - Its just merely an idea for now.
I'm not sure about the 'teqwelve' you apparently see - the gaps were put in the filler piece to help differentiate between the letters. Clearly that didnt work well enough.

Ok, maybe this wasn't a good enough Idea.

But I think i should make it clear that this would not be for a design company or anything that would need to attract clients, it would be used primarily as an identity for a future website I intent to create. It won't be a genre-specific website before you ask - more as a hub for me to store and display information.

maybe a little off topic..., but a suggestion..., I always avoid backgrounds or any kind of distractive elements when developing a logo..., I even try to work it B&W at first..., and always...ALWAYS...use pencil and markers before placing a single finger in my mouse.

Well, the thing that strikes me about this is the actual name. Maybe ten twelve design? I had to look back at the other post to remember what the reference was. Choosing a company name is really difficult, and I wouldn't dare to say what is right or wrong (we are called 'pixel apes' after all - which some clients have thought to be cool, others have given us some very blank stares). My own personal opinion is that 'ten twelve' by itself is not striking. But I could be wrong!!

Other than that, the grass behind seemed a bit random. It probably wouldn't work well in black and white (I think it is a good test of a logo to try it in grayscale).

What are you trying to communicate with this logo?

Hey RokoBlue..
I was typing as you were... didn't mean to duplicate the B&W point...

As you said, bauhaus doesn't fit, but otherwise I think you are on the right track. Do work in b/w for the moment. Once the logo works in b/w you can start thinking about colors and backgrounds.
