red raw

Hey all,
I've finally got around to making my logo that i've had the idea for for a while...
http://img18.echo.cx/img18/4594/newlogo0014bs.jpg
The top one is the one I went with, the others being too obvious or too "Construction-site-ish" respectively. I'm curious to know what you think but also not too fussed about criticism so say whatever you want...

That top one looks real nice red raw ... real nice job. I also like the bottom-left too ... perhaps since they're based on the same shape (more or less), you can use one or the other, depending on medium you plan to use it for.

I like the top one also.. the to Dreram in a little hard to read. but if I was a client I would pick the 2nd one. I tend to like stuff more simple and it would be easier to put that on some stationary.

There will be a slighty more simple version too, and probably an inverted simple version like the second one, Just as options.
The "to Dream" is just for the hidden detail part. As I go on I might add more hidden detail because when you zoom in on Vectors you can find the most amazing little extra touches, there's a posterised image of me in the droplet, kinda dreaming...
I like to have fun with these kind of things... It's about 90% there.

I would go with the bottom left. Its a nice clean design and the simplicty will help alot with the reproduction of the logo.

i like bottom left, too. in the top one, (while very fancy! oh lala!), i see blood. and a tear. i don't want the dreams that make me cry blood. :(
with the bottom left, i would see how it looks with the top of the curve not cropped...just for comparison. :thumbsup:

Top one is going to be horrible to recreate in different sizes and b/w. And is not porportionate
Bottom left has been done alot
Bottom right has alot of potential, can be simplified to work on everything. I dont think they type is flowing with the symbol though.
I would work with bottom right one Where the s and d come together on the top middle is a little wierd.

Uncle, good point!
I Might not do it red, in fact it looks great in a bronze colour...I'll play with it.
Bottom left is far to safe for me. For a client it would be good but I'm an Artist, It needs to be eccentric!

Envision, Hard to re-create? why... it's a vector! and a colour mask makes it B&W straight away!

flinging monkey poo is eccentric.

eccentric and look really cool with lots of effects,
red raw do you specialize in animation or 3D design?
If so the top one fits you perfectly.
However, if not it is a very nice design, but not exactly graphic designerish,lol. reminds me of a animator or 3D modeler.

I came up with about 4 more new ideas by going back to roughs stage, i'll post them soon.
I'm not 100% again so it's best that I keep going... but I'm in no real hurry

Top one will be very hard to recreate, it doesnt matter if it is vector or not, you have gradients , the to dream thing on the bottom, all that going on in the tear drop,
And then making it work in black and white

Here it is as GREY scale
down to 2x1

I think it retains it's character even at 2x1. I also think red raw intended to make the symbol even more distinct, by using a variant of the simpler lower-left logo in his original posting.
I'd much prefer the bottom-left variant Grey scaled at 2x1.

ok
I like all of them. At first the bottom right wasn't my favorite, but then I gave it some thought and it's totally growing on me. I didn't at first see the "SD" but ... hey that's neat! :)

Love the clean design and simplicity of the one on the bottom left. The type treatment in fan-frickin'-tastic!

I think they look great. I think the top one would look great for full color stuff and for a sign and the bottom left one or the grey scale one would look great for your print stuff. I agree with Jeff about the type treatment, it's great! You got yourself a winner there!!
