: Feedback on Basic Website Logo A friend of mine is setting up a basic English Language School and came up with his own logo combining a globe with a title and slogan. Here is the logo:

@Ravi4787994

Choice of font for title and slogan - Do you know a font for the cursive part that would look better? Is the size OK?


I would consider changing the cursive font - your choice of Mistralis overused. Consider an option like Calligraffitti. You can search Google Fonts for other free cursive fonts that you can use on your desktop and on your website.


Position Globe - Is the right side an OK choice or should it be to the left?


Position the globe on the left, and the text on the right. This will help your text balance better. I would also increase the font size to a point where the total height of your tagline is around 80% of the height of the image.


Quality Globe - I know it is still a little jagged, but do you think it will do?


It looks like the globe logo is a stock image - I can see the shadow of a watermark over the earth portion, which suggests your friend hasn't licensed the image. I would recommend purchasing the original image, as that will allow you to scale it to any size you need. If your friend will need to use the logo for any print materials - eg. letterhead, business cards, t-shirts - he will need to have a much larger version anyway. The cost of purchasing a single stock image is usually not very much.

I agree with placing the text on the left side, and definitely less space between the text and the globe.

I would definitely increase the size of "keep growing". Maybe even so the letters overlap the "English". That would give you a sense of "growth". If this gets too dominating, tone the green colour down a little.

Also, I would keep white for the "EPS".

Apart from that? Looks good.

I build on top of Willow's ideas, using Gimp -- I did not add the final polishing such as antialising not to lose information, the op could add them himself. I wanted to make the initial letters somehow more apparent and I did not like the repetition in the initial logo -- also making things much more playful!

Simple




More alternatives

also created smaller logos that could be used in cards where the EPC
is clearly with different colors, one needs to think all little
details with brand etc when creating websites, better to create things
more consistent in the beginning! The letters symbolizes force, growth
and energy with some personal spin. Because the audience is children
and parents, I wanted to make things a bit childlike with the smile at
the end, making things more FuN!




P.s. Since I do not know the specific target, I left things open. You could crop things here quite easily -- "FuN!" to you as well :)

I usually go for a very dark grey instead of black, if possible - something like: 111111

Are you required to have the icon on the right side? Because it would flow better if it was on the left in my opinion. The logo itself though is absolutely fine for this project, but I think you need slightly better font/colour combinations to compliment it a bit better.

Try Highway Gothic Narrow for the bulk of the text and then Blackjack to replace Mistral: www.dafont.com/black-jack.font

Just to illustrate what I'm trying to explain!

The blue is: 049cdb

The green is: 8ebd00

Which were both taken from the icon.
