BEFORE: Critique of The First Logo
The Symbol
– Too much spacing between characters
– Visually each element has a different weight
– Overall not cohesive
The Wordmark
– The typeface is art deco, dated, not a good choice
– As it’s a long name it’s hard to read when overall size is small
AFTER:
The Symbol
– Each angle is the same for unity
– Better spacing: slight overlap of LS, for optical spacing
– Visually each element has same weight.
– We kept the C open so it still reads as a C but added the notch to tie it all together
Wordmark
– Modern typeface
– Condensed font for better use of space
– Larger font size for better readability
