Pls what this?

All nice, am nt a graphics designer bt nid to appreciate others work..

All the designs are too busy. Work with the principle of 'less is mor'. Cheers.

This is not simple. And so not cool for me. I'm sure that you can do better. Yur colour blend is not appealing and you could do with solidifying your characters.

I'm sure that you can do better. PM me for biz.

These logos are not telling me anything. Logos are best when they kept simple. The most iconic logos are simple, e.g. Microsoft, facebook, amazon, he, dell, etc. I agree with @Erad, Op you need to do research before any project

felixchip:


You see am?
Anyway, Erad don talk am but e take idea carry grammar smoothen am.

Make I translate Erad comment for Pigin:
"I don't see any simplicity" Na I'm. be say everything na scatter scatter.

"Can't even seem to pick any particular design" This one na say e no see anything, meaning say everything wey you post na rubbish.

"I Can't see any direction" This one mean say you don miss road, no be design you finally do. Say e resemble mechanic work.

Bro, na me talk am?
Why you dey vex for me?
'Cause I dey advice you?

. This is no advice bro.

Crap

You are good at designs. But not in Logo. Simplicity is one of the attributes of a good logo. At most 2 colours In most cases a colour. check Apple, Julius Berger, Gtb, and many big names. Most them have just a colour. They are also very simple to study. I am not A logo designer but that is what I have studied and they are confirm

@Awoofawo

You know what?

Take the guy that advised you research for inspiration's advise.

Also, your designs are complex, a bit too abstract making them hard on the eye. I could barely 'read' through your creations.

You will need to unlearn whatever you know (that is, if you learned it) and approach logo designs in a fresh, more organic way.

Also bear in mind that ease of duplication for an insignia is important for most logo designs.

I also noticed your font choices are poor. The fonts needn't be exotic to work but be readable and be at par with brand essence. Comic Sans for instance, has no business in corporate communication except for other special and deliberate reasons.

Colour diversity is good if it aligns with brand; I noticed you were overly green-friendly - the land is truly green. LOL.

In brand manuals (google that), you will learn that spacing for legibility is important. All elements will likely be required to 'breathe' well and cluttering is avoided.

Some of the best logo are super simple, some are complex but leave an impression, a good one.

Logos don't always have to say something per se, but they usually do or are required to. You'll be shocked at the meaning of colours and elements in some of the best known logos.

Don't worry. Your zeal will see you through once you are open to learning. If you can, get training that is, if you haven't; it's not a compulsory factor though.

One thing you can do is study extensively, tonnes of logo designs, better to be the well known ones or successful but diverse types... it is a science of sort, believe me. I'm into brand design but not a graphics pro.

Please, true graphic pros in the house (I've had a business deal with one but can't remember the name), come in.

God bless.

Nice designs, i must commend your graphic skills.
Looking at your designs in other to read your mind, you display traits of a fine artist, or an architect.
but those are far too complex for real business logos. Include fewer elements in your designs than what you have here.
Some tips:
Every element present in your logo MUST depict something about the business. Do not include any element because it looks fitting to your design.
Learn a little about symbolism, it is very important.
You can have specific naturally existing objects in mind, e.g. you can represent a mountain with a triangle, the sun with a circle (no need for serrated edges), the moon with an arc, and so on.
Apart from your enclosing shape (e.g. a square or a circle), do not have more than 2 or 3 other lines or curves within your design. For instance, there are too many lines in that last logo.
A viewer should be able to remember all the details in your logo when they close their eyes.

Those are not standards. Disclaimer! Use the tips at your own risk!
But you will really find them helpful. Try another set of logos based on those ideas and show us again, the comments should be different.

Awoofawo:

Sorry OP. But it looks terrible. You need to be a lil moore creative here. How come I'm seeing a lot of green.

Logo ko logo ni, olodo ni e
Oloshi

The golden rule for logos is simplicity, uniquenes and probably it's ability to express an organization's vision. Great effort OP but greater imagination is also needed.

Awoofawo:

you go make am. Though I dnt know a thing about this but am optimistic u will grow.

There's no reason to lay curses or throw abusive comments on this poster. He did a right thing by trying to share with you all what if feels and how you guys might wanna contribute to make him an expert. I can't see any authentic comment on here. Am a branding expert and I must say it takes persistence and detailed research to solve problems with logo designs. My advice for you Op is not to relent on what you have started. With time you get to perceive things subconsciously and improve tremendously. Your efforts are commendable. Never relent. You will be the best soonest.

Nice 1 Op.

Awoofawo:

it has too much details

The logos are downright amateur. If I need to take out time to read the name then it's not eye catching. Moreover, major brands prefer the logo being the name. Example, BlackBerry, Apple, Coca-cola, Nokia, Adidas, HP, Kellogg's, even our own AIT, Channels TV...so all those "designs" you added distracts.

OP those logos are quite terrible, looks like you just started learning graphics. You need to try harder or just drop graphics

Op, it is obvious you are just using some propreitory software with a lot of templates. You have not designed anything, you have simply merged ready made templates, added text and changed colors.

overboard:

Thanks for taking the out to rate them!

Felixchip could learn one or two things from you... Encourage; not discouraging in the way to build people just starting out! You can read his post about cursing me that: he no go better for.......that comes out a bit harsh. Thanks again...

Am actually into textile designing but want to take up logo and the like... Agreed there lots of room for improvement and I need to learn more, that's why I put my work here for rating from the gurus in the forum. Constructive criticism would made other aspiring designers come out and have their work rate to know where to put more efforts. Thanks appreciate your comment.
