Hi all

I made a logo with the instructions:

- No use of oval shaped logo
- create a silhouette of a female
- transparent
- easy for the eyes yet original
- simple fonts

It's for skin care products wich are based on plants (organic) ingredients.
because of the privacy respect I couldn't add the logo name in the picture.

Also I've been searching for days on how to create something like what I created and failed so I used this as a reference, is that ok?
http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtml?lang=en&search_source=search_form&version=llv1&anyorall=all&safesearch=1&searchterm=yoga&search_group=&orient=&search_cat=&searchtermx=&photographer_name=&people_gender=&people_age=&people_ethnicity=&people_number=&commercial_ok=&color=&show_color_wheel=1#id=65268097

The person who I made this for really liked it and didn't mind that I used a reference...

So what you guys think?
Grtz.

wow!
i liked it very much :>
But i'm not sure if it's good idea to use reference to make design instead of your own idea.
for me i didn't use it b4
but it maybe good idea to increase creativity.
well done.
Keep it up.

I would prefer a more curly font to match a woman's hair and body line.

thx guys, glad you like it

@hytham I agree 100% and that's why I'm gonna remake it
I'm thinking to animate it aswell..

And after like 1h+ looking at an empty screen I've decided to do it in 3D
It's been a while since I used 3ds Max but I'm sure I'll get used to it again pretty quick, compared to flash wich I never used before...

@darklite & @trafalgar-law;)
The fond wasn't actually my idea lol i'm starting to think what the hell was my idea, well anyway the concept was :p

Oh and I made this while I was spacing out
It was more of an accident and then it turned out pretty cool imo
lemme know what you think..

In your first post, I would venture that the 'inspiration' borders on plagiarism, rather than derivative. It's an easy trap to fall into, especially if ideas are in short supply (we all get that). However, you have done a good job, although I hate the font (but understand that it is not the final choice).

thx, Yeah that is what's been bothering me
I don't want those accusations so that's why I'm changing it

But the idea of the concept wasn't copied I wanted to create this before I found that picture, the problem was I couldn't find a tutorial to learn the technique dunno how you call this kind of silhouette art

Yeah, creating a new design it is a good idea as that may be a bit too close. Good on you for recognizing that yourself. :)

Thanks,

Patrick

Honesty, you can't make something out of nothing. But the idea of a reference kind of violates your creativity. Try making something out of the skin care product descriptions, effects, etc. A minimalist deign after considering the above will work best.
