Help with New Logo Design

Posted 17.01.2013 @ 9.38AM

Hi guys, sick of the little logo I use and I'm trying to come up with a new one.
I want to continue using a circle and I'm still keen on dots, just trying to piece it all together.
I've been staring at it for too long and everything I do looks shit to me now, so I come to you for opinions, suggestions etc you know the drill.. Let me have it!

Preliminary design:

My current logo thing you can see in use here:

It's a step in the wrong direction, there is too much going on.

Strip it down and get down to basics. Especially if you're going to use your logo as a watermark on your photos.

Take some time off and get inspired by what the best are doing:

In addition to the above comment, I think you need to understand the difference between concept and effects.

Thanks @Signmeupmeow that looks like a great resource. I've got today off, so I'll get stuck into it. Also, what do you mean @Dan ?

Any other really good logo based websites I could check out?

i like behance.net under identity.

re logo, i'd simplify just to circle of dots and try to fit the whole name in the circle - if possible - similar to the original but simpler still

Do you need '.net'?
Do you need 'photography & design'?

Thanks @Zack486 I'll give that a go.

I probably don't need it, but I would really like '.net'. My photos get shared a lot on music sites and its nice to have my web address..

Aye?
