New logo for my Oil jobs board, opinions please

[AdamSmith]

OK here's the logo



tried to keep it simple, and no it's not a palm tree but oil spurting out!! Get the idea??

Anyway what do you think?

Hey Adam,

Sometimes simple works best. That fits the design very well.

Quite a Niche there! Cannot say I've ever stumbled on
a Job site for that career. ;-)

I like your logo, how did you make it?

[AdamSmith]

I used a very basic art drawing tool, not really up to speed with the likes of corel draw. As you can from the simple design it didn't require much work. I did a little research though and had a look around at other sites logos.

I think all the big names have a basic logo, for instance "Shell" is very simple, just a simple shell design, yet it is the most well known logo in the world.

I am a great believer in simple is best! Make your site with a max of three colours, and no more, (just my two pence worth)

Change the oil coming out to maybe black?

[noel_x99]

I kinda agree with making the oil black. The colors overall don't seem to have much significance.

The spouting oil seems to be a different color than the word Oil and the .net. Is there a reason for that?

Black and gold might be pretty sharp - and richer looking. It would eliminate any palm tree comments too.

anybody who looks at the logo understands that it is not a palm tree and it is oil as the name suggests.
the logo is nice
and it is apt for the topic of your site.
