New logo proposal for ML Manager app

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

Hi Guys!

Today, I would like to propose a new logo for ML Manager app, which is an open source app developed by Javier Santos V. at Github.

Have you ever heard of ML Manager app? If not, then you should check on it >>here<<.

Mock-up of existing logo:

The inspiration:

For this logo design, I took the inspiration from the original logo which are: "android icon" & "box or package", this became my starting point. Starting with the two original elements, I developed the design by giving the "box" a 3d form look and colorizing it. The colors were based on the color wheel complimentary bold color set. This is to make the logo more inviting & engaging for the prospective users. Aside from the logo, I added another element which is the "gears" to represent the mechanism and the intended purpose of the app.

The workflow:

Allow me to show you how I came up to my logo design. First, I began using Autocad to draft my initial design. At this stage, I created rough shapes with grid pattern to complete the template of the logo.

Upon completion of the template, I imported the draft sketch to Photoshop. I utilized pen tool to create the vector shapes and colorize it afterwards. At this stage, I made adjustments and fine tuning to improve the draft sketches of the logo.

After completing all vector shapes, I then finalized the colors of the logo and make few fine tuning on the design.

Once again, I present to you the ML Manager logo with varying image resolution:

Hi,
its well done, but Im affriad its too complicated for a logo that needs to work in many different applications and use cases. Im not convinced this logo would work in small size. I would advise you to use the same concept, but make it flat.The good logo needs to work in one color as well as multiple.

  • .svg or .ai formats are prefered for source files.

Hi @andrejcibik, thanks for your feedback. below are my response to your comments:

  • logo was simplified, with flat look
  • removed unnecessary details to make it visible even in smaller resolution
  • I also provided sample of logo when used in single color
  • still in .psd format, but the shapes are in vector shapes which is "scalable" & printable in big format

I hope my effort could help on the approval of my contribution.
Thanks again for looking into my post.
