i like it, i don't like the color yellow in it though. i think it is too bright for the logo.

It looks good. Though what I'd like to see is a more creative feel in it.. The pallet just feels too obvious. Make something less obvious. Just feels too uncreative if you know what I mean. Probably most designers would create a similar logo, which is why you shouldn't go for the obvious, if you know what I mean..

The logo looks cool, believe me, but just a creative touch is just what is needed. You can do it..

i liked the logo you could probably do something to the wording to make it stand out more though.

not sure, maybe something a little more abstract with the 'pallete' that actually runs behind and through the text... that's your choice man, i'm no logo expert and am more into deigning simple t-shirts that sell... from my point off view your logo doesn't 'sell'... it looks like a million and one other logos out there to me... even though it is a good logo

SVargo,

Thanks for the great feedback. I can see where you are going from. I am going to be working up a another version of the logo to post soon. Hopefully I can make it a little more "stand outish" to remove itself from the pack. Although I don't want to get to fancy with it as I am keeping the site very simply. Do you have any suggestions?

Warrensway,

Thanks for the critique. The type I am using is a font called Eurotype. I used it in my other logo (Creadiv.com). As I work to make an "online empire" I am trying to stick with the same type throughout. Kind of like Woody Allen does with all of his movie logos. For the most part he uses the same font.

Rejoice,

Thanks for the advice. I will see if I can integrate the pallet with the type more to give it a greater dynamic. The point that the logo doesn't sell is alright as I am not selling a product but a community and having a logo that people will feel comfortable or familiar with can actually help. So if people have seen the logo 100 times before they might be more willing to accept it as a quality product.

Yellow can be very abrasive and create anger which is generally not something you want in a logo so your point is well taken. I am trying to stick to the colors of the rainbow. Good old roygbiv. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Violet. I have not used the indigo or violet yet so I will try replacing the yellow to see how it looks.

Thanks again to all that have commented. I will be posting a revised version soon and hope to get some more amazing feedback. In the meantime please feel free to keep the comments coming.

Thanks to all that gave me feedback on the first logo design concept. Although I still think the first concept is stronger I have taken some time to make changes to the design based on the suggestions that you made.

I would very much appreciate any critique, criticism, or opinion of what you think of the second design concept.

So without further ado.

[rejoice]

i already think it looks better... my opinion... and it is my opinion only... is if the S shape off the 'pallet' as such was shallower and didn't extend as far from the text... my idea off a logo is similar to photography... your eye needs to be drawn to something... somehow and at the moment the logo just seems a little flat to me and there is too much going on without an emphasis on the subject... it sort of drowns itself out if you know what i mean

[Korzhik]

the logo is great. simple. have you tried putting the color pallet on the other sides of the word to see how it looks that way?

Rejoice,

Thanks again for taking another look. I think I understand what you are saying. First I needed to incorporate the "pallet" more into the "type" now that I have done it is is too much? is what I am think you mean by saying that is is "drowning the logo". Do you suggest reverting back to the old style or simply trying to tone down the "pallet"?

Korzhik,

Thanks for looking at the logo. I am assuming you were looking at the first rendition of the logo and not the second. If so I did try it and didn't feel it fit very well.

[rejoice]

looking at it again... my suggestion would be to remove the bottom left pallet part... then the top right pallet part i would make it a little less curved and extend the left end over the text some more to have it cover the font (above, not over it) like a slanted umbrella... or in your case a pallet

i would also keep the colours down to 3... maximum 4... i like the blue/green/purple theme as it fits well with the grey and is a mellow colour theme that is inviting and would probably benefit if you are attracting people to join as members

in the end when i join a site i usually want it to benefit me and am not too fussed about the logo design... although a simple yet professional logo does show that you as a company mean business and won't crumble overnight

I definitely like the second version over the first one.

I cannot tell you why I do. It is just instinctual.

Maybe, do remove the little yellow parts. That maybe more appealing.
