dA Logo

Description

Thought I'd give it a try.

I took into consideration what Ryan Ford said about the angular lines, how they convey emotion.

"Angular lines imply motion and excitement, and are reminiscent of the shape people take when they're running (among other things)."

This parallel to the shape of a person running inspired both the angle and tail at the end of each stroke, which I thought suggested movement.

This design is one of many sketches, but alot of them were quite minimalistic and thin. Mainly becuase I felt that thinner lines elongated the logo and helped it appear more corporate;

"...the best logos are the ones that feel official."

..but then...

"A great logo is bold and isn't quiet."


Finally, I really like the new logo that $liquisoft and the team created. BUT. If I was to see it on its own, black on white & had no recognition of what deviantART was, I would probably struggle to depict the 'd' from the 'a' or what it represented. Which is why I chose to capitalise the letter 'A' and not join the center stroke to the 'd', to separate them both a little.

I don't know if anyones noticed, but upside down, it makes absolute mint t/vp logo.



Thank you
