Logo design

Someone I know wanted me to design a logo (despite me being a hundred percent noob at design), so I decided to give it a try.

Brief: Create a cubing logo for a cubing initiative.
Required colours: Blue, white, and red.
Text: Black text reading “Elite Cubing Initiative”.
Target audience: Cubers of all ages.

The logo will probably be used on a social media banner, or a profile.

Logo:

What should I have added? What should I haven’t?

It’s not bad but hard to judge besides that it’s a cube and elite. Why the colours? What’s the company? What’s the brief? What’s the ethos of the company? Have you more info you can share on your choices?

Additional colours for shading adds cost a print

How does it stand in black and white and small sizes?

Easy to read or understand it’s a cube?

This wasn’t for a company or anything with a proper brand behind it. It was just a personal logo for a cuber, and there wasn’t much of a brief. Basically just “cube” and something that felt a bit elite.

The blue, white, and red were colours he specifically asked for, no real reason behind them. I get the point about extra colours adding print cost, but I think it’s probably just going to be used as a profile pic or online, not printed anywhere.

Yeh, I didn’t focus too much on how it would look when shrunk, since it was mostly for online use.

For the uninitiated, what is a cuber?

Pretty sure it has something to do with Rubik’s cube type things?

Sorry, I thought you were familiar with the word. A cuber is someone who cubes - basically someone who uses a Rubik’s cube.

A rubiks cube has the various colors on each side. Did you consider a logo with 3 shades, e.g. red on left side, blue on right side, and white on top?
