Your logo has two focal points - forcing the eye back and forth, rather than reading your name. I would consider brainstorming a single unique visual. (ie. start with a decorative star on a coin and go from there) There is a tendency for people to want to insert an image into one of the letters of their name, especially the 'O'. Usually it doesn't work. It is distracting, and takes away from both the visual and the name. It's cute for google play with their logo every holiday, but honestly I don't think it works for you. I'd like to see what else you can come up with.

Take Care,

Grease

I've made an alternative logo, this time putting the focus in one place - the centre of the text. I've had to save the image in low jpg mode in photoshop to be able to post it here.

Please comment and thanks.

On the first logo, I didn't like the sparkle on the 's'.
I do like the second one better than the first one, simpler, and only one focal point!
Here is one I have just done,

Using the same colour scheme but changing the font and basic design, I think mine creates a more professional look. I have just realised I just sounded full of my self, whoops.

hmm...I'm not sure about that boomerang shape, but then again this is my first attempt at real professionalism.

Well I like it, but I suppose a 'circle' shape would be better suited for a coin website.

On your 2nd variation try moving the blue swirl, instead of having it in the middle.

isn't the centre the best place for it?

christoefar · #8 (**permalink**) 04-07-2004, 08:05 PM

Not always, some times it can look better in the middle, some times not, try aligning it with the 'c' I think that would look quite good.

Ok it's about coins, round springs to mind, precious metals etc.

Think what it ACTUALLY IS...

they are fantastic..I can never do something that good. :)

Bodhi · #13 (**permalink**) 04-07-2004, 11:11 PM

Yes you can - it's all in learning the software... The software does it really, and once you understand say Photoshop you can do anything you want...

These are all examples of my work... http://www.originalwebsites.com/GraphicEx.htm

I love code! but lately I'm more into graphics and web design..which encompasses code anyway lol. I'm actually doing a java certification course (although finding it difficult to take in) at the moment, and star coins is a recent project of mine.

yes I have yahoo and msn messengers, but I always use yahoo.
