Scissor Trix

[Invader Xan]

A simple black and white logo for a downtown hairdresser, whose business comes from all ends of the market. I didn't get much of a brief, but you guys are always helpful -- any opinions? Suggestions? Criticisms?
Personally, I'm not sure this font works...

Thanks all.


(Incidentally, I don't have much experience in doing logos -- normally I only do adverts and displays. Please be kind. =)

what do they do exactly.....whats their role in the working world? saying they 'come from all ends of the market' doesnt really help us give you pointers on creating an identity

I like the aspect you have going...

...the TRIX thing isn't working in that font style, in my opinion. I would try something bolder and smaller (maybe make the 'SS' smaller as well. Just my 2 cents. :)

I might play with a few different fonts in addition to your two 'S' swoops.
the small 'r' looks like a 'p' to me and the 'x' throws me off a little.
I do like how the top text is sitting on the 'T'.

Match in the gas tank, boom boom.

The two 's' swooshes seem a little thick, maybe if they were thinner (more in keeping with the actual font), it might work better? Looking good so far though! ;)

neat concept... I like your idea on this. The text for 'scissor' resting on the 't' looks really good. I like the font you used on the top EXCEPT for the final 'r' - and THAT would work if you cut off the little curly bit at the end.

Something looks 'off' to me with the font for 'trix', but I'm no type expert... so I can't offer any suggestions to make it better.

great start - make sure to post updates as you work on it!

Power to the Old Schoolers! and btw, if you can't say something nice, shut the hell up.

Hmmm... I like it. I wouldn't change a thing. /emoticons/cool.gif

Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

[Invader Xan]

Thanks a lot, guys, you rock. I've been drawing out a few sketches and have a fair amount of tweaking to do. Personally, I feel it could do with a little more cohesion.
This doesn't need to be finished till next week (and the sales rep for it is off sick), so I'll probably post a revision or two when I get round to it. =)

Ok, here's a revision. Just another idea I had...

I would prefer the first one. Love it at first sight.

Seems to me that the first one has a style while the second one is rather rigid.

I'm just not certain about the R and the X in the first. Maybe I'm just being finickity...

You can always 'trim' them. http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Shorten the 'r's tail but maintain it's 'softness' or 'elegance'.
Push up the 'x's tail to half way between the 'SS' and the base of 'Trix'.
That's what I'll do.
