Well I think it looks great

I agree: It's looks very nice. My only comment would be that it might be too busy to include on a business card.

 

[SillyJokes]

agree with steve - looks nice but a bit busy. Could be A LOT worse

 

[troublefreetraveladvisor]

any suggested improvements as i can still have them done at this stage

 

[Whistle Ink]

[mumper]

You took the words right out of my mouth vshosting !

I like your logo and when its big liek that it looks great. But I would consider how it is going to look on a business card and all your other stationery too.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the opening titles to Frasier?

I really like it!

I would keep the blue a solid colour rather than a gradient. In fact I would keep the gold solid too.

When you have gradients it sometimes look like it has been poorly printed because it sometimes doesn't quite work, if you see what I mean.

I like it but agree about the blue, it looks like something has come out in the wash to me at the mo. The design of it is great.

That's why you should get solid colour versions of the logo from your designer as well as gradient ones if you'll be printing it at small size.

Clean crisp, to the point and not to big. Yep I like it. Well done.

 

[crus]

Yep, I like it,

might go with the solid colour and stick rigedly to silhoutes of the landmarks.

Also the thing that bugs me the more and more I look at it is the domain.

My strongest advice would be to spend some cash on a better domain, otherwise your worthy efforts elsewhere will be working against a week domain.

Hi - I was in the T-shirt business for a while, designing and printing logos just like this one. I have a couple of suggestions:

The use of the white ground is good, but if you are going to shrink this as small as a business card, please consider using another colour to outline your type.

When an image is that small, the white ground doesn't offset the type and images enough to keep it all balanced and legible.

Other effects, like the gradient tone, would work better if there was a fine black ot other outline around your type and image.

Finally, gold is a very hard colour to reproduce - it requires one to add a metallic powder to make it look authentic. You may have to search for the right offset printer in your neighbourhood to do a nice job for you.

Cheers,

Donna

Also.... that tower in the middle is leaning over to one side a bit? :wink:

As others have said, I'd be unsure of the gradients. I always think that logos should deal with solid colours - especially if you're unsure. Using gradients in logos should be left to people with the huge budgets! (IMHO)

Perhaps you should use 2 logos ... one for your website, or anywhere that it can be displayed in a large style, and one where you need to free up a bit more space, or can't print in gradients - for some reason. You could happily lose the skyline and just have the blue 'lozenge', that would create a simpler version but still recognisable from the original. That would just provide you with a couple of branding options.

...that's the idea.......
