Ok, so I decided to go back to the drawing board for the site... and also decided to create a logo. So here is the logo for KG Studios. What do you think?

it's definately cool, but it made me think "LC" or "IC"
I would put the boomerang on the other side of the stick, and I would connect the dot with a thin line to the "C". Also, make sure the gap between the boomerang and the stick is smaller than between the boomerang and the "G", so that it is visualy linked to the stick. I'm not a t home, or I'd do it to illustrate.

thanks for the opions. Here is an updated version. I tried what you said and i do like the little line from the part circle to the dot. And i also used a rounded rectangle, not hard edge. I also moved the line closer to the "boomerang." I left the original with slight adjustments as well as flipping the K. After looking at both, im not sure which one i like. The backwards K one seems to be more balanced with equal weight on the sides. But which ones of these do you like, and also if you have any other suggestions that would be cool.











ha thats kinda funny my 20%gray bg almost matches the forum bg...

yeah, sorry I forgot to do that when I got home last night... That looks way better.

I also added a few layer styles just for fun.

The golden rule is... If it looks good in B&W it should transfer to colour well. Layer styles in a logo or logotpye are a no no. Front facing K is more logical and henceforth more pleasing to the eye.

I think if you put something in black and whit it gives it a far more proffesional look, although it is good to experiment, you dont want to much, simple and sweet is what most people look for, because they are too lazy to try and catch what's actually going on. It's a great concept though. Just needs some more work to make it suitable to the eye :).

on these lasts posts, about it needing to be B&W, simple, no effects, etc... are you looking at the logos i did, or the ones someone else modified.

Since you say it needs more work to be suitable to the eye, i was just wondering if you were looking JUST at these two...

These two are exactly the same, except the K is reversed. And it was a document to compare the two.
