One of my website clients is going to be in charge of this 1st Friday thing (Many other cities have it so I'm sure you know what it is), and they asked me to design a logo for them...here's what I came up with. I wanted to get some feedback from a couple of different places before I did the ad and site, etc.



Thanks guys!

Nice concept. Only thing that looks a little off to me is the "st" and that 1 pixel line seperating the 1 and the F. That line is only going to get blurred and be almost indistinguishable once that logo is shrunken down. I think it would look better with the "1" and "f" stuck together, and maybe have the 1 be a lighter or darker shade of blue...

Its still a nice logo either way, good job.

[SimplicityDesigns]

Thanks. The only thing about making the 'st' lighter is that it may not be as visible when shrunken, but I'll try it out.

This is kind of what I meant, I edited the original pic some, hope you dont mind:



Its just easier for me to show what I mean

So I hope that gives you some ideas, if not, ignore it heh.

[d2Squared]

that's better

[Babyface]

why dont u put the fading color back in also? i liked that

[SimplicityDesigns]

Thanks guys, a lot more feedback than I'm getting other places.

Here's a few different versions of the logo, trying a few things out..





Thanks again for the comments - I really appreciate it.

Looking good

I liked the second in your last post.

Just an idea maybee make a gradient from top to bottom with the 1st Friday.

[N4Z.]

The second one definately is the best out of the rest.. I especially like this one because the first one made the ST look out of place.. but now you can notice the 1 and the ST.. its very well placed. I like it

Nice work

I agree in that the second logo is the better of the 3.

If I may make a suggestion:
I'm interested to see how it would look with a stroke around the letters. Like a mid. sized stroke not to large not too small.

Nice work so far.

[SimplicityDesigns]

Wow, thanks guys. Two it is! When I get back to my work computer I'll try out the stroke.

EDIT:
Here's the semi-final version with the stroke/drop shadow, and a different font for the bottom line or whatever you want to call it. I'll give it two more days and then get to work on the site and ads.

call me weird but I like it with the stroke and shadow. :wacko:

Dan, one more comment. Try "Georgia" as you font for the text on the bottom.

I like the stroke too. However, the Georgia thing isn't working for me. I like sans-serif :-)

I'm never good with fonts anyway so rejecting that idea probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
the logo is looking really nice. Good work.

[Appenzeller]

The last one you posted is great. Stick with that one.

[Dale71]

I think the 2nd one is the best in my own opinion, the latest one looks more ... Fake.

[SimplicityDesigns]

Hmm...what do you mean by fake?

[Dale71]

Didn't think you'd understand, I mean, like the 2nd one ihas the style that your more likely to see around alot. Looks very nice.

[InFeri]

Lookin good , but since you are going for the clean/retro look, you should add a subtle gradient on the 1stFriday part. Also, I think that the text under it should be made more modern.. like dots instead of the vertical stripes and add some underline like dots (yes, i like dots ) Though it's still lookin very sexeh
