The upside down V would have made a great symbol on its own. But when you use it as part of the name it gets lost and looks like a parallelogram between an M and IS.

This would have had a nice feel had it not read M A Y I S. As it stands now the V looks like a Y. Nice play on gradients though.

Hey Great design. Congrats on the Mulah!

Haha Thanks. Yea, Belle's a big dope, but she's always good for a laugh.

Nice job aillet! I figured this one would get picked. It should have placed higher. but congrats on the client pick!

haha Thanks. It was a lot of fun to make.

Thanks Ishor!

Great idea and colors! However, your fading gradient detracts from the integrity of the concept making it feel a bit too airy.

There is just way too much going on here. Think about simplifying your work. As it stands right now everything is competing. Also, consider your color pallet...red and green are very christmasy.

good idea. That would make a nice icon.

Really nice. It would have been even better had you gotten rid of that little sliver of the F at the bottom, as that feels a little awkward. Other than that, well done.

papyrus.........why?

I like the little shape, but it doesn't really sit well with the text. The typography is a bit dull in its relationship and there are some kerning issue between the M and the E and the C and A. I find myself wanting to see the name being placed directly under the bottom of the right side of the A shape.

Nice illustration, but it is too busy and loses itself when scaled down. Also the font doesn't make sense for the client and there are a lot of kerning issues.

Thanks Potestass!

Now that would have definitely been a contender. Good choice of font (I didn't think about using Eurostile) and nice typography, I like the f and u! It also is very bold without being masculine and Great little accent shape. I could really see this as a skin care logo. Nice work.

The font has a feminine quality about it and your symbol lacks originality, feeling recycled. I like your presentation though.

Well for starters, although nice play on words, you should never feel the liberty to change the name the client gives you. They generally only have the rights to the name they provide and would in most cases be unable to use something like this. As far as your design goes, I love the presentation on the bottle, but hate the inner glows on the other slides. Think about how your colors are working together,the glow blurs your type into the blue background muddying up your design. Only use glows if it makes sense and is necessary. Also lose the dark backgrounds, people generally want to see how their logo will look on white as its the cheapest way to print. I do like your font, it might have been nice to see some more kerning between your letters though. Think about typography and the shapes your type can make. You have talent you just need to simplify things a little.
Hope this helps.

Yea, I have to agree. the cut out is a nice idea, but it feels a bit awkward with just a hint of overlap from the shell. The typography in americas would look nicer if it were smaller in comparison to ferrum as well.

Really nice idea, but for some reason I get a microsoft/software vibe from it.

Very awesome 3d render! I am curious about what software you used as well.

The shape is well done and very dynamic! It would have been nice had you brought the two little points at the bottom of the arches together, forming one point though. Also, it does remind me too much of a comic book super hero logo. As far as typography, think about your treatment of type. The weight of all the type feels too similar making it seem a little bland.

Thanks MarcusAurelius! I'm glad you like the typography. I kinda see what you're saying about the readability, so I made a slight alteration.

I kept the other side of the R's in this and it does seem a lot more legible. I like it a lot more. Thanks for the helpful crit!
