Hey,

I am trying to upgrade my graphics design skills and portfolio so I designed this logo, I may or may not use it but I need some critiques if you lovely people don't mind Sorry if it is a bit 'newbish'



Thanks,
Dan Williamson

its a simple logo, very simple, its pretty good for a first, I would suggest adding something to it that makes it "unique" good for a first start

[DanWilliamson]

Thanks, I couldn't think of anything else to put into it, such as an image into the orb thingy majiggy.

It´s simple and not full of all those crappy photoshopfilter-effects. My first logo was some chinese letters with lots of bevel and outer glow and shadows and crap.
This one might not be the best, but it´s nice and simple

It could be better without the shadow on the circle and the changes in color in "Dan-Williamson.co.uk."

The background color you chose is too close to that of the logo, so there's barely any contrast. Go with white for starters, since that is what a logo ends up on most of the time (paper or white background webpage).

The circle is off-center. I would also make the dash ("-") a little longer, because it took me a second to realize what it is.

Not bad for a first, though.

Not bad for a first attempt. Maybe keep the colors consistent with the dots. Also try playing around with different fonts.

Thanks for the tips guys, I know the background went funny but it would be transparent when I put it on a website, anyway I will probably be posting a few more and hopefully improving in time

I think it is good for a first too. But with the shadow removed this would be loads better. I kinda like it because it is simple. Try more and you will improve heavily.

As was mentioned earlier. Nice and simple. But in my opinion it is not orginal I have been to lots of websites with the same type of logo.

[greg]

Well that's not surprising. It's just an outlined circle. I think he was just doing this for an excersize, not for an identity.

[Bryn]

wicked, would be good with something within the center though, a letter or something.

[DanWilliamson]

I added D into the middle, but text is not my strong point I just added a few layer styles on the font

[greg]

To be honest, the "D" does absolutely nothing good for the logo. It just adds more gradients, which are not good for logos.

And still, the circle is not centered.

[Dirk Black]

if anything lose the D, I liked it with just the sphere, its simplistic but clean good work keep it up

[Indigo]

Remove the D-again. Liked the other one better.

[PSgirl]

I think the 'D' could fit more if you removed the besel and emboss style.
