just my onion but i think pictographs in the logo is out. minimalism is IN (if u look at like startup logos lol)
the font i used is called grenze gotisch except i did a little editing myself for the sharp ends because we are edgy lmao

ALSO if the kerning between f and i really bothers people im sure i can change it. i thought it looked dope but its a super easy fix in photoshop

we're an online forum started in 2002. are we really "in" anyways?

i mean we can do a little better. update our wardrobe you know?
epicmafia's logo still looks like this lmao (NOT TO DUNK)

Spoiler: since its transparent it wont look good if you use mafblack

sorry. ui design was a significant part of my degree and ive done some freelance design work so i get kind of mad abt this stuff

expert is a stretch haha. i was just drilled in my head that designs should """conform to modern design standards""" but if we wanna go vintage thats fine

noah fence to nsg but i'm not a huge fan of the font choice. idk i think its too round? it makes me think of like comic sans lol

Spoiler: my font suggestion (sry the magnifying glass looks kind of grody i stole it from u lol)

actually i put drop shadow onto the text and that looks nicer haha

Spoiler: here

imo that wouldnt work, either the lens would have be tiny to look more like a lowercase i or the i dot would look huge in a way that would kind of distract from everything else? like a really huge pimple

i am a huge proponent of no blood/weaponry in the logo. squicks me out

caledfwitch · Post Post #261 (isolation #11) » Tue Jul 14, 2020 9:36 pm

made some suggested changes

Spoiler: actually eyedropped the mafblack colors lol

caledfwitch · Post Post #264 (isolation #12) » Tue Jul 14, 2020 10:02 pm

do you have any suggestions for a different color instead of grey?

ok not to start discourse in this thread but it's really peeved me how some people post only to criticize designs (made for FREE with a VOLUNTEER'S time and effort) with no constructive suggestions at all. if you want a logo designed exactly to your specifications you can either 1. make it yourself or 2. HIRE a designer to make it for you, not neg your peers just because some small aspect of it isn't perfect

i think this is a dope concept, could you explain the fingerprint thing tho?

caledfwitch · Post Post #317 (isolation #17) » Sun Jul 19, 2020 8:23 pm

cutting any part of a logo off on the side is a huge faux pas imo. you wouldnt want any part of the text cut off no?

take amazon's logo for instance. if the sweeping arrow on the bottom was cut off it would ruin the harmony of the logo. the same if we choose to include any extra visual elements like a magnifying glass

my one issue with a typewriter-y font is how it would show up on merch, esp if you get shirts and the shirt printer is like "oh can we get that vectorized"
from personal exp it is SUCH A PAIN to do it

(Are people not designing these in Illustrator?)

wrt legibility issues i made a version with a different colored magnifying glass (along with comparisons on the different site theme headers)

you need to be more specific with your feedback, i have no idea what part of the design you're referring to or how light you want me to go
