Another logo

[agentmoeller]

A couple years ago my employer held a logo contest for the employee wellness program.

I won the contest, and started to see my logo popping up on posters, web pages and now - T-shirts. Pretty cool.

Here's the original logo.

something about me would more likely want the guy to be facing right, not left, but it's personal preference it still looks awesome

 

[agentmoeller]

Thanks Alex. Is that how the walk/don't walk signs are where you live?

 

[revnart]

Yes, I think this is corresponding to how you read.. From left to right.. If you think about road signs it's alright because pediatstrians (don't know is that a correct word [emoji14] ) walk in front of a car from right side usually.

 

[agentmoeller]

I think that's probably how they are in the U.S., too. For some reason, when I first sketched out this design, I imagined him walking left, because (for some weird reason) that seems "forward" to me. Maybe because I'm sinistral.

 

[revnart]

But on the other hand I can't remember any 2d game where you were walking left.. Even Mario who always walks forward - walks right.. Or Contra..

I fully agree with Zeealex that the guy should walk from left to right.


Added some small changes.

That looks cool. I like it. But it's all over websites, T-shirts, posters, etc., now, so, apparently no one minded him walking left.

It is a difference between earning money with a logo or discussing it in a forum.
What I mean is: You designed a logo, got your money, everybody was happy. Nobody complained. Mission accomplished. You can be proud.

Since the logo was placed on the (viewer's) right side of the T-shirt (ie, on the left side of the person's body), having the figure walking to (viewer's) right would have him walking away from the mid-line of the torso. I prefer him walking in the direction AgentM did it: Towards the mid-line of the body. This is analogous to the old photography maxim to have people walking into your frame, not out of it.

Tragically, I didn't get any money, since I work for this organization. They had a contest among employees, and I won. My only consolation is that 20 people voted, and it was unanimous.
