Stock response to any new logo design which isn't elaborate/overly-complicated.

(Admittedly, I used to be of this belief, a few years ago, but not anymore)

    Now, to drive the point home, enjoy some terrible logos I "designed" in my free time.

    (Some of you may recognize the Circle 5 Convenience Stores logo. That's because I'm lazy and reused the SVG for the original WFJH logo.)

    Have you tried making it spin?

    I wonder how you make swooshes in Inkscape...What? If I'm making suckish logos I might as well hit every cliche!

    And for some reason, I used Microsoft Sans Serif for "SUPERMARKETS" in that one. Not sure what I was thinking there.

    Swooshes are old hat. Shooshes are the new paps.

    In reference to, like, bad fanart, I think it's fair game. I HAVE done better in MSPaint.

    Well, to go back to the original topic for a second (it was sort-of about the reaction to the new NBCUniversal logo, roundly despised by non-designers for not being fancy enough), I think the reaction to it is partly because of the sheer ballyhoo of it.

    Also, this is very shameful. Also why do they assume the blue block is part of the logo proper?
  • Central AvenueCentral Avenue
    Wait, what?

    This thing is just a blue block with a bunch of letters in the middle.


    (facepalm) Does the concept of "wordmark" mean nothing to you people?

    (Also, that's not what I would call "blue".)

    Of course it doesn't, it needs a symbol or else it's a failure.

    (Though Facebook uses a modified Klavika for its logo and nobody complains about that, perhaps people are up in arms about the brand recognition of the Peacock being chucked out)
