Critique my logo, please. Pt. 2

[kochdalton87]

Hi all, hope everyone is well.

Since my last experience with fiverr I have decided to allow four other designers the opportunity to design a logo. Although this time I made sure to give clear and specific instructions along with professional examples of the quality I expected. So far the first one came back and would like everyone's opinion on what could be changed. Overall I am very happy with the first draft of this specific logo.

I will be updating the thread as the other designers submit their completed work to me and would appreciate any other comments or suggestions pertaining to the logos.
Thanks ahead of time!

Hey Dalt

^Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that. I followed the link you gave me in the 1st thread and made sure this designer was added to the list. Thanks!

I like it. I may have to try fiverr.

The lighting seems wrong on the words. I don't like how the letter "N" is really bright in the word divine. Just my personal opinion that it would look better if it was all the same shade.

I highly recommend it but don't expect a spectacular design with your first contract. I read recently that you have to go through several designers (although almost all of them have very high ratings) to achieve a professionally done logo/design. After reading that advice I went back and hired a few more designers and so far so good!

how much did that set you back? (cost)

I do like that it is simple and there is no question as to what you are offering. I think it would look way cool if the black part had like a black diamond plate to it or maybe a carbon fiber look. I know I'm just throwing curve balls but that's just what came to my mind. Does look good though.

$5 for the initial design and then you can add extra "gigs" to expand your options for more money but those prices are set by the individual sellers.

I see what you're envisioning and I agree it would look sweet! Although this was just a background placed behind the logo by the designer I will be sure to keep that advice in mind when designing a business card.

Thanks for all the tips guys!

Here are two others that came in today. Although not as "professional or fancy" as the other one they still serve their purpose. I like the first one better but when I first saw it I was immediately reminded of Evan's logo and the similarities. The spacing with the star and accenting lines needs changed in the first and maybe a stroke placed around some of the lettering. Any ideas will be considered!

The gradient in the windows along with the non-uniform weight of the car silhouette makes this one less than favorable but it's a starting point.

These logo's look fantastic. Even though this thread is old i'm in the process of re-doing my business and creating a logo and i'm totally digging the 2nd logo that you posted or the one directly above this post if that makes things easier. I'll need to check out this designer.
