Hey, all.Haven't posted any new art in a while. Ironically, it's because I've been so busy doing artwork.

Anyway, here's a logo I'm working on for a gym. Everything is done exactly to client specs. My first instinct on looking at it is that the helmet should be much bigger.

Would appreciate your opinions (bearing in mind it can't be changed too drastically) on how it looks, or what changes you might make.

Thanks,


Agent

imo the black weightlifting thingy behind is a bit annoying because they have no shades like everything else, I would remove them. The rest looks... not good but... AMAZING!!
 
The crossed barbells are part of the client's request. I tried them with hilights, but they distracted from the centerpiece. I agree, though, that they should have some kind of shading.

Hmmmm........
 
I am not normally a fan of bevel in logos but in this case the yellow text could do with a bevel to make it look more like it is the text you get on barbell weights and maybe roughen up the texture of the text a bit.

Good to see you back you have been laying low for a while.
 
Good idea, Hoogle.

Last thing I did last night was try the "45 LB" with EXTRUDE & BEVEL, but it just didn't "pop" like the current version. I tightened up the drop shadow to a 1&2 pixel offset (X/Y axes), so it almost looks like raised lettering.

I'll see what the client thinks.

i agree helmet might be bigger.
maybe there's too many colors involved but it may be me loving simple, vector based logotypes.
the idea wit the dumbbells in the back is great, just need to make them more dumbbell alike,
not necessarily shaded not do draw attention form the letters that are just great
but more thick and proportional (bars and the bells, lengthwise and thickness)
 
Thanks, Ibis.

I agree about limiting colors in a logo. I originally did the helmet in shades of gray, but it really got lost in the plate. I thought the blue would pop a little, look like metal, but not look too gaudy.

I will definitely try a few variations, and post them up, see what you guys think.


Thanks for the input to everyone,

try the dumbells in a light grey with black inner glow and some soft dusting... kinda like this....which is just a quick thing for visual aid.

I like it a lot, improvement compared to previous version is obvious, but why are there those three clean white vertical lines resembling tapes, they seem a bit disturbing to me.

I like that hawkeye but with this change the center circle should have brighter highlights; not a lot but I think the difference is not subtle enough.
 
Love the design mate, but maybe adding a bit of bevel and a slight black stroke around the text to match the black colour in the inner circle? Just an idea, but great work so far.
