A consolation thread for Liepob miscreants to wipe their tears with. How does the opinion of one Oluwasanmi become that of Yorubas?

Well, anything to give their broken hearts some soothing caress for a moment is okay. After all, they are out blothers.

are you not ashamed for bringing ipods on what your kinsman wrote. Face topic , no. You had to mention ipod because it brings traffic to nairaland. If you don't know what to say, keep your fvvckinng mouth shut. Are you suffering from I must comment by force syndrome

PMB has already set the pace for the Nigeria of our dreams, a Nigeria whr stealing is corruption, and where the corrupt and powerful get to walk the court and prisons.

By Joseph ErunkeABUJA-THE Senate was Monday told that Nigeria has since June 2015, been exporting its oil and non-oil products without documentation.This was just as it heard that the development has made the country lost over N23.6 billion expected to be repatriated proceeds of the export within the period.Also, on its own, the Senate alleged discovery of over $850 billion supposedly earned by the country between 1996 and 2014 from its crude oil export proceeds which it alleged was yet to be repatriated to the country by the Joint Venture Oil Companies, a development it noted, was intotal contravention of Nigeria’s Pre-shipment Inspection of Export Act andArticle 26 of Export Policy Guidelines and procedures for crude oil, Gas and non-oil goods.The various revelations were made, Monday, during an investigative public hearing organized by a Joint Committee of the Senate Committees on Finance, Trade and Investment, Gas, Petroleum Upstream,Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, and Customs, Excise and Tariff on the “Need to Investigate Pre Shipment Inspection of Export Activities inNigeria.

Please house, I don't want you to see me as bad belle, but just a constructive critics. Some are creating logo that no Oyinbo will approve. First of all, never use Photoshop for logo creation (for the sake of argument), it won't be in vector and that's a lot of kasala.

I will be quoting each logo to point out corrections.

Here are general things you should know:

1. Always use Adobe Illustrator to create logo (Sothink no bad, but never Photoshop).

2. Always save you logo output as PNG nothing less than 300 dpi, unless stated otherwise by your client.

3. Always create logo without background, unless stated otherwise by your client.

4. Source files should be .AI, .SVG, .EPS, .PDF etc.

5. If your client wants .PSD simply export from Adobe Illustrator to .PSD.

6. Photoshop is for only mock up creation (my opinion, though).

7. Logo creation is different from drawing. Top world logos are just text or minimalist type. Google, PayPal, Payoneer, HP, Apple, Tecno, Supersport etc. Na simple logo better pass. My bro did a logo for $150 on Fiverr, it's text logo.

More explanation if you have questions.

I'm a very busy person and this is my longest post on Nairaland.

noted and saved sharply. Jah bless.

Femsmart:
Background spoil this logo...

Every other things dey cool.

Good morning all .special Greetings to oga Bestspoke. Happy New week all.

LastProphet:
thank u for hitting the nail on the head for the plenty foools who couldn't figure this out. the reason Nigeria is hated outside are the ibos, period!

and the reason Nigeria is not backward are the ibos. if no be ibos , una no go smell industrialization and western lifestyle

Lastbender:
I want to believe you didn't mean that. Firstly you are rude, you don't talk to people that way. An advice for you, if you want to go far you take critiques from other people with joy, you don't get better by telling people off. The OP you told to critique you isn't the only person on this platform in fact I believe he got to where he his by learning and taking correction from people better than he his, and in the first place the reason you're on this thread is to learn I presume, so please don't display stupidity here.

I wished you had not responded to him. just for this beautiful platform to continue. They say silence is Golden

DerrickM:
Tips on making a custom mockup for a buyer. Logo design should be in PNG format,download a suitable mockup template from www.freedesignresources.net. Launch Photoshop & place(import)your logo design in there & edit other features as you like. Advisable to get accustomed to Photoshop for best user experience.
Picture of t-shirt mockups i did for a friend's brand to be made soon. This same technique applies to business cards,letterheads,envelopes,brochures etc. Best regards

Thanks man

NIGERIA belongs to the Northerners, in the first place why would a Northerner govern the NNPC, knowing that the North don't produce Oil, okay check out NNPC board members. Four Northerners, One South, One South West .At the end I smile with disdain when you shout ONE NIGERIA, pls how when the oil producing state are 5%

for me Niger Deltans should govern this country for life. mtchewwww

1. androsurf - The fonts are on point and fashion related, Good placement of
logo elements, can work well as a fashion label or apparel label.Looks brilliant on mock ups.
Simple and precise.

2.Chigozie1(Last entry,5:31am,Feb09) : Simple and straight to the point,although font needs improvement,I'll still rank entry high
It'll look well on mock ups and fashion labels.Elements are also well placed and effect usage are moderate.Your other entries are on point too.Very.


3.surestam(2nd entry,11:26pm, Feb 09) : Good concept,icon use for this entry is the best of all your entries However your choice of fonts needs improvement.Your design will look better on mock ups if you fonts are not all stacked together.
In all ,It is a good design but with some missing attributes. Also the effect on the ASL is reducing the simplicity.You can leave the effect then remove the icon, or leave the icon and remove that effect.It'll improve the design.

4.Femsmart (1st entry) : Nice concept.Smart like your name.Simple enough,but lacks depth,why have your chosen to use white for the shirt icon,this was an element that gave the design depth and you let it fade off.
So change the color.(I knw you be boss)but on a white background, the icon is invisible.Good effects on the second entry by the way.It's great to know that the rule of simplicity is being followed judiciously.

5.bigbabyboy(1st entry) : Your design is one of my favorite. Nice concept,very great idea.But too much icons, too much effects. I get the fact the a shoe,a back ,a model are all fashion items
But you cannot insert everything into the logo.Imagine an ecommerce store with over 500products, they cannot put everything within the logo.
I love the back concept which represents the A but that should be used seprately.

ADVICE 1: Leave bag,remove effect on ASL totally,no wire around the fonts

ADVICE 2: replace back with A and leave the model.

Then the french taglines the client did not ask for. comot am

I have certain issues with the entries from the people above.


I salute everyone of you for your trials ,and really appreciate your efforts.

I am commenting generally because there are general errors while some erros are specific.

FONTS : I have hammered on this severally, you need to go outthere and get some professional fonts for your designs

EFFECTS: I will advise that you should avoid effects,don't use it at all. Do flat designs for now.

ICONS: One is enough, if you must use more than one, there must be a synergy.

nell4(11:57pm On Feb 09), you want to turn you logo to a market abii ....how many icons,what is your motive and are you still doing a logo.? you want to include all the apparels in the logo kwa? .Love youe second entry thou.


A fashion logo especially for apparallel should look good on fashion mockups, cloths,labels and all.

Rules of logo design, simplicity is no. one...Things client can easily remember and identify the company in the midst of crowd.

For those doing multi effects,multi colors and those inserting too many icons,Please have it in mind that clients will want to print the design on
business cards,letterheads and all...multicoloring will increase the cost,too many icons wont look well and effect won't come out well after pressing.

Thank you all.

Keep practising
Do research ,feed your mind with ideas from great designs scattered all over the web.

I'm still learning too, lets learn together.

thanks bespoke for your analysis. I am mother of five and a fashion designer hence that design you saw up there. I have always wanted to try my hands on logo making or any digital service out there. Thanks again for this selfless service. from what I understand , a logo shld be as simple as ABC. But I dey fear we still have a long way to go.There is no easy way out, we have to keep practicing. Please keep giving us assignment for brainstorming. once again thanks
