A blog for the summer 2016 NEiA Advanced Layout class with instructor, Coni Porter. The purpose is to offer faculty and peer feedback in a timely manner, allowing and encouraging the students to progress in a focused and productive way.
Sarah – This is evolving nicely! And the colors appear more in keeping with the industry. Question: Do you really need the rectangle? I wonder what everyone else thinks? If you are convinced that you do need to enclose the 3 letters, then consider giving those letters some additional negative space inside the rectangle. Another idea would be to fill the rectangle with color, and allowing the letters to be white. I do encourage you to find a solution that allows you to increase the size of the type line at bottom – so the actual name (3 words) appears larger within the elements that make this logo.
Sarah, I think although you might not need the rectangle, it's a nice touch. It frames the abbreviated name and then leads you down to what the name actually is. My suggestion is to bring the rectangle farther away from the "ODP" as well as the three words at the bottom so they don't look like they are touching the bottom of the letters above them. This might allow you to not only increase the point size of the bottom line, but give "ODP" some breathing room as well. Nice work so far!
Agree with Nicole on this one, the box seems like it is touching the "ODP". Also if you were to shrink this logo, than the box would definitely be touching the text.
I think this is a big step forward from what we saw last week! But I do agree that maybe taking the box out from around the letters would be better. They seem a bit squished in there. Also I feel that the words are a bit too close to the ODP. I would give them space between each other.
thank you all for your comments. the logo has been redesigned without the box around but I still don't know if I should keep the company name underneath ODP
