I agree work the ark more as the image of arc easy to remember now what comes to mind with it is if the arc was made of cells for the animation??

My thoughts only

Since there is very little image usage of an accordion in these logos being presented, I fear they are all doomed to failure.

There. I've stated the obvious.

I would have to agree Pakimo... The font is a bit default.

Impact was used for it's relative density.

The spacing of the font was meant to continue the underline and act as a lower case for weighting so when the image was read from left to right the words read out comfortably whilst keeping the logo looking like a separate part.



Having looked for an appropriate font, I think this one suits.

Looks like the logo of a shitty production house that makes 70's and 80's B-class movies.

Kinda reminds me of these:

That's what I was going for ^_^

But seriously the Logo is for my name and like this for a reason, aside from business cards & referencing my site, the actual animated states on my name within the site are going to animate when the flash elements are made.

The gimmick is time-line motion.

Hence the symbol in the Square.





So this logo has been designed with that flexibility in mind.

The colour scheme also depends on the state of motion.

The idea is simple and the implementation is also simplified, eventually it will have gel effects but for now, the fundamental shape and feel needs to be perfected.

Logo designs I intend to be functional as well as aesthetically meaningful and ironically recognisable aren't easy to make.

The default part of the element is Paused.

Before you go all crazy and have a bunch of cards printed, Remember that phone #'s, email, etc has to be included. Maybe you should see how all that mess works on a complete card.

For a long time business cards were my bread and butter.
I found that the kiss method worked well.
Keep It Smart & Simple (Yes I know there are other words that fill this acronym)

You need to remember that the card is for one purpose only, and that's to get your information to your client. You may have the most witty clever and artistic designed card in the world, but if your client has to spend more than a few seconds finding your email or Number, it fails as a card. (Btw black backgrounds on cards makes the text look crowded and difficult to read because its a reducing color, that's why us fat bastards love wearing black )

Im not going to comment on your design idea, artistic design can be a very personal thing just wanted to pass on what I have learnt over the years and what worked and what did not.

Hope that helps a little

Do you have a card?

yep and it was shit
I made it to crowded and the detail was hard to read.
but I had 500 printed so I was sorta stuck with em

Numbers and email are no longer valid.
I have moved on since then.
I always liked this one

That card is wonky Blue... I can spot that with my; 'It's got something inherently wrong with it' senses from across the globe...

The text on the Email isn't aligned with the text on Australia 6155.
Same with the Fax no. and Canning Vale...

Yet Catalano Road and the mobile is fine...


I remember Fractured Pixel...

I also remember thinking that the logo for that shouldn't have been a camera but a plain square with a crack running through it or bits breaking off it...
Ya'know... Like a sort of... Fractured Pixel...

Looked sort of like this...

In fact that Logo has stuck in my mind now for what, 2... maybe.. 3 years?
That's some staying power. :-/

Good thing you stuck with the Camera man... That has forget-ability, that's what you want in a logo... Forget-ability

But yeah I will post the card design when I finish honing this logo.

Well both cards are over and done now
I now have the old generic white card black type basic Blah card.
Serves it purpose...I keep getting people calling me for work...

This is the Alpha Design... It's not finished yet because my address is due to change.

This is not my final design but an Alpha prototype.

My cards may have a scan-able impression so I can either, keep track of who I gave my cards to a later stage or write hidden messages...

what does B.A. mean and why is it bigger than your logo? not diggin the color scheme

Business cards are 90% of my sales. Your logo is fine for them imo. It is also perfect for how you described its use. I'm mostly paper products so I see things different. Never took into accoucnt the heavy web base use you were gonna use.

This is my card. Clear plastic, phone number is white from this print file, its actually not printed, its clear. I got more coming next week, I'll post pics when they arrive.

I figure I do graphics, my card sells itself. No need for extra BS on it. Paid all my bills over the winter with this card, 4-5 sales a week just from my card.

I know Marx, I know, its not a logo

I think your black and red would look devistating on a frosted plastic card with the scan bar on the back.
