Designing a Logo for a friend, which one?
Added 2024-06-20 00:47:03 +0000 UTCThe stippling really went over board, flattening the whole image. I've gotta tighten these up tomorrow but here's some previews. Which one do you prefer?

2024-06-23 21:05:10 +0000 UTCI like the top right. It has the her name, or the name of her business. I would make the cap letters a couple of points smaller(maybe 4), and match the sizes of the rest of the letters. I would lighten the ground shadow a little towards the center, not a lot, though. The stippling looks fine! I love working in water media. Water color was/is my thing, but I got into working with ink when I had a dumb fucking cube farm job, and in between calls I'd doodle with my ballpoint pen. It's amazing what you can do with even ballpoint pen. Anyway, it gave me the bravery to try ink and I really like it! In my drawing class, the prof. had us do still lifes(lives?), where the stuff that was closer to you had a thicker line, and the things further away had a normal line. Have you tried this method? What did you think? You mentioned that the stippling made your drawing look flat. I think it looks fine. What direction is the light coming from in these drawings? Not being mean, just stuff to think about. You've really gotten good at drawering, ya prick.

2024-06-20 19:20:49 +0000 UTCHard choice…love the Madame Cacti…as someone who had a tech writing and design business, it’s good to have an odd number of items in the drawing. Beautiful work. You’re hired!

2024-06-20 17:11:41 +0000 UTCDepends on the use case; for a banner logo I'd use top left but cut back the ground shadow the way you did with the bottom left. For something like screen printing or a physical sign, I'd pick bottom right but with heavier lines.

Zeebes
2024-06-20 13:14:38 +0000 UTCWhile bottom left is a great drawing with the shading, that doesn't translate well to some applications- like screen-printed tees, so I would say right side ones are better. Maybe reconsider font sizes though. I think the adam and the acti should match.

2024-06-20 11:46:31 +0000 UTCEither of the top row. "Madam Cacti" is great, but I would make the letters the same size.
Eric Wagner
2024-06-20 10:05:37 +0000 UTCMadam Cacti, but the “acti” should be same size font as “adam”.

2024-06-20 08:46:02 +0000 UTCI like the first picture✌️
Ana Rita
2024-06-20 07:18:13 +0000 UTCDepends what's being done with it. If Madam Cacti has a website, she'll need something super simple for her favicon, for instance, but you could possibly simplify a single one of those flowers for that purpose, or anywhere else something needs to be tiny. For a header graphic type thing, I like #1, but I also dropped out of art school, so iunno

2024-06-20 04:51:30 +0000 UTCMostly because of the sharpness of the drawings. Not sure if it's problematic to omitt the cactus in the bottom right.

2024-06-20 04:43:51 +0000 UTCTop left. Bottom L for shrinking down. Beautiful drawings!
Linus Lancaster
2024-06-20 04:16:20 +0000 UTClove em all, but to me the bottom right comes off as a clearer image to process

2024-06-20 03:31:09 +0000 UTCThe third one feels the most balanced as a thumbnail, which feels relevant for a logo.

Rebecca Hunter
2024-06-20 03:06:07 +0000 UTCI like the top two. Text seems a little big compared to drawing but still real nice!
Dominique Frost
2024-06-20 02:51:21 +0000 UTCTop is #3 (bottom left), the shading looks good and adds some visual variety, esp. when seen at a smaller size. If there will be text, runner-up is #4 (bottom right)- could balance well beside it if the flowers are pointing away from the text.

2024-06-20 02:48:18 +0000 UTCTop left. Then bot.left.

2024-06-20 02:28:00 +0000 UTCI like the level of contrast in the top left the most, but I also agree with Kevin's point about scaling.

Eric
2024-06-20 02:08:47 +0000 UTCif this is going to be printed, especially at smaller sizes (like business cards) I would say the 4th image is the way to go as it will scale down without losing as much detail

2024-06-20 00:58:51 +0000 UTCI like this simplicity of number four, maybe some pebbles in the background. But if not number four, number one.
