    Thumbs up Homemade Logo - Your comments please

    Last week I completely re-designed my site using simple HTML/PHP and I had planned on paying a graphic designer to create a nice looking logo. While I was waiting for the designer to reply I started playing with my Jasc Paint Shop Pro and after two hours I was very happy with my own creation. I would love to hear anyone's comments, good and bad. You can see it here: Your Ad Tracker :: Link Tracking Service

    it looks distorted. i would see what your designer can also come up with, or maybe he/she can work with your idea to clean it up? it reminds of Target, lol

    I like the concept. However, were it me, I'd tinker it with the following:

    a) Delete the red stroke around the stylized "A"
    b) Create a think black stroke around the perimeter of the bullseye
    c) With the horizontal segment in "A", I'd extend it into the bullseye and round it off, making it part of the concentric circles of the bullseye
    d) Change the typeface of "YOURADTRACKER"
    e) Delete the right arrow

    Nonetheless, it's a fairly interesting idea.

    you should resave it as a gif to lose the artifacting going on from it being a low-level jpg.

    I think Bill is very much on track with his feedback, especially on points d & e ...

    And it definitely needs cleaning up as ran-d suggests.

    It is a nice idea, though it does remind me of Target, too ... but how about sending it to a logo designer and see if they can take it to the next level ... there are designers out there who will not charge you if you don't use their work ...

    It is good as concept for a logo but it needs a lot of work to look professional.

    Good luck,
    Vitaly.
