  Old  Logo feedback please :)

Just wondering if I could get some feedback on my recently designed logo

EDIT::

After the comments, i kinda realized i jumped right into the design stage with no planning so ive done some sketches of logo ideas and scanned a PDF ( Click Here to View Sketches ). I appreciate everyones feedback, you are a great help to me!

I would appreciate it if you could point out which sketch u believe has most potential, if any.

Hey,
I'm not really feeling the texture thing going on there! Also its kinda hard too see with the black background.
Could you show it to us in it's final environment.

I do like the font.
My personal opinion would be to run the logo through a couple more rounds of revisions and see what else comes out! There is just something I can't put my finger on, I think it might need a little more work.

Hello, I am not an expert, but I'm not feeling it either. In my humble opinion the problem here is the the lack of uniformity in your logo. You got three completely different styles which do not seem to work very well together.

I'd follow DDS' advice and "run the logo through a couple more rounds of revisions". Let us see your results!

I agree the logo should create one common sense 3 styles do not go with each other well, separately however they are fine ok

it doesn't work as a logo.

right off the top, the colours don't make it usable at all (if you ever printed that, it's a full colour job for sure, so cost is already high), plus generally they don't compliment each other anyways - lime/neon green is never easy on the eyes.

it's also lacking conceptually. i understand you're just branding your name, but you're also not. you're branding yourself. you should shine through in this logo. what do you develop? do you target a specific market? (would you like to?). the name says creative, so how are you creative? do you specialize in creating custom functionality/plugins? what are you doing that's innovative that a competitor can't offer? that should show through in your logomark. right now, this is the equivolent of you just shouting your name and hoping someone goes "hmm, i'm interested in finding out what that actually is".

i'm not saying don't keep trying, but atm it feels like you just opened photoshop and arbitrarily did things, with "because it's cool" as the core of your justification. first, write down on paper what it is you want to accomplish - i want to appeal to $_this sector, to attract $_these clients, and $_this is how i'll do it, i want to represent $_this attitude, etc. then, when you have a picture of how you want to protray yourself to the public, you hop into a graphic program to translate your words into a visual mark.

good luck.

I have to agree with derek - it just doesn't work as a logo. I think instead of more revisions, go back to the drawing board and be creative - tie that to who you are and what you offer.

Yeah, I agree with the others, it doesn't look like a logo. I love the font you use for the word "creative" though. So, I agree with Steve, start a new one and be creative.
