Logo, opinions please?

[dottie]

Hi
I just designed this logo using paintshop pro. I would appreciate your opinions, do I need to add anything? Remove anything? change it around? Thank you all in advance xxx

Hi Dottie,

The logo looks great. You could try to move the background 'ff' up slightly so the Privat Nail Salon stands out.

Colours look really nice...

I would personally use the capital F shadowed twice rather than 1 large and 1 small - it is slightly distracting to the eye?

It is lovely in all though - I adore pink

I agree. Nice logo!

I think you've done a great job and I like the upper and lower case F's .... eye catching (distracting) is a GOOD thing!

I think you've done a marvellous job, well done to you. Very colourful and eye catching

I've been trying to design a new logo i will take a look at this application.
personally i would amend the 'F' in the word Fingertips to be lower case as in the initials.

I'd fade the FF in the background slightly as they're a little full on (only the lower case one actually...)- but well done

Also, did you design it as 300dpi and CMYK? otherwise it might print an entirely different scale and colour- which defeats the object a tad if you're trying to create a "brand".

You might find it hard to replicate that pink in print (or if you send it away to be printed on biz cards etc) if you've designed it in RGB- as that's for the web. Your monitor has a light source so it can show really vivid colours, but obviously print doesnt.

And my recommendation is to save it as a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file rather than a JPG. This will give you a clearer image. JPEG images are usually a bit fuzzy and "blocky" round the edges...

Thank you all for your advice and comments. Extensionize you were absolutely right. My logo is printing a vile shade of red. Ive tweaked the settings for my printer and it's better but still not the lovely shade of pink I want. Ive tried changing it in PSP to the settings you recommended but it hasnt made much difference. I'm really disappointed and I'm wondering now if I should get the logo professionally designed. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Many thanks

The problem is that you'll never get that vivid shade of pink in print- It's impossible because on this screen theres a light making it "bright". The printer isn't the problem- and nor is changing the settings..its too late once it's done in RGB mode!

So, you're choice (I guess) is to have a seperate colour for the web and print- or rethink the colour and go for one that matches in both mediums.

I would - definately! Carl won't promote himself on here but I can!!! I think I am quite techsavvy when it comes to pc's n the like but when it comes to a professional looking logo that prints correctly, I have no clue!

Here is his website address verve design. Take a look :green:

Ive contacted Carl. I love his designs and I know he'll do a much better job for me than I ever could. Looking forward to seeing what he designs for me xx
