Thoughts on this logo?
 

I *NEED* to get this damn domain up since I've had it sitting for four years now. First step - logo. Not sure if I like the second one or not. Kind of looks like a speech bubble, which would go along with the "critic" part of it and would look better on a solid background. And yes, I like them simple. :winkwink:

I like the second one :)

with the color gradient in the logo already why not go for sunset?

I vote #2! Wow I sound like currently sober ;-)

The 2nd looks good. I get a feeling that the darker shade of orange comes a little too close to the word "more" though

About the same on the top left too though. Hmmm..

Haha!

Do what??

Awesome. Thanks, Jim!

that's less of a choice than we had for president. it's the same logo, you need a few more examples to choose from

I like the first one. The second one would work as you mentioned if it actually looked more like a speech bubble. Looks like a towel or a panty liner at the moment.

Still prefer the first one though. What is the font?

Not bad not bad.. if you need help with a logo let me know bud.

I would prefer the second one if the bubble was a little more rounded - looks a big strange. Both are good though. Don't waste too much time on it.

work a sunset into the image

First one I threw together. Only took 5 minutes, so it's surely nothing special. And as the thread states - "logo"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Font is Myriad Pro

Thanks for the offer!:thumbsup

Okay. Just literally played with the pen tool and that came out. So maybe I'll work on that a little more.

A sunset? What does that have to do with a Bar?

i vote the second one

First one.

Slogan

"Let's get pissed!"

I don't think the slogan will hold up when you shrink it down (on the site and promo material). The name is self-explanatory, so you don't NEED it, but it would be fun to see a representative icon as part of the logo to get a visual cue.

Perhaps make the 't' in critic a table-top and the "i"(s) people ... One happy one sad.

shitty idea perhaps, but you get the idea.

1st) The bottom one.
2nd) The photo of your mangled toe.
3rd) The top one.

i like the second one cause of the bubble :winkwink:

Perhaps a bottle silhouette shape?

Couple more ideas for you if interested.
The first comments graphic can be used commercially.
The second beer graphic one can not, so it's just as an example to give an idea for you.

Neither of them are logos. They are logotypes. A logo is the Nike swoosh or the apple, um, apple.

Um... Logotypes or wordmarks are considered logos, but thanks. :anon

LOL, Logo OR logotype </sarcasm> I like #2 ;-)

I like the first one. I like the 2nd one zoxxa did the best though.

Wow. Really like the one with the beer here. Maybe I'll look for beer graphic I can use.

Being that I had one of the largest nightclub and bar directories over 10 years ago I'd go with what an earlier poster said and say don't spend a lot of time on it. You'll need all the time you can get updating openings and closings.

Maybe you can contact the owner and get permission:

EDIT: I just realized you can buy the icon set here: http://www.iconshock.com/food-icons/

Both by Zoxxa really make it look complete...

Love the beer one myself ;)

I never noticed before, but the word 'critic' look a bit like an elephant's face.

Elephants never forget, hmmm, wonder if there's an angle worthy of exploration there?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Awesome! Just sent them an email to see if they would sell just one. I don't need all of those other icons. :1orglaugh

The beer one is the best.

But would the beer look good when the logo is 120px, on the site? :)

I don't think I'll have the logo that small. And it looks okay in their cover sheet.

yep im having a few right now. home brewed :)

That would be an icon, it would obviously be modified at such a small size.


Lace if you are buying the icon, email me and I'll reply back with the PSD.
Will save you a few minutes recreating it.

Ok, will do. Waiting to hear back from them now.

i vote #2

Also found this - http://alfoart.com/cold_beer_glass_1.html

That might work, although it would take some time to duplicate unless I just used his 600px icon image.

Edit: Oops, I used the wrong background, but you get the idea...

Probably second one...

I like the first one. I actually like simple lookng stuff like this better than any design. Good color choice too.

+1, yes, the 2nd one

Any logo with beer in it attracts my attention

New revisions.
