wilsonink said on Apr. 19 '08

remind me the childish elephants from a girl on deviantart, anyway great job.

Hayes Image said on Apr. 19 '08

I could be me just having a brain-lobster...but I vaguely remember that elephant shape used on one other of your designs that's no longer in your showcase...

Cute design all the same :)

ClimaxDesigns said on Apr. 19 '08

i could have sworn i left a comment on this, but anyway the mark is great the type not so much, and not so much as in its relationship to the mark not in general

shahrulazmi said on Apr. 20 '08

gotta agree wit ClimaxDesigns, the mark is great and still identifiable with the simplicity, but somehow the type doenst quite complement the mark and vice versa

wilsonink said on Apr. 20 '08

"team work by ilona":http://ilona.deviantart.com/art/Team-work-25546503 , jeje i mean this one! :D and now that climax and shahrulazmi says it, i agree with them :)

firebrand said on Apr. 20 '08

Love the elephant illustration, Nav.

nido said on Apr. 20 '08

thanks guys.. ive updated the type. Thats what i was looking for a response on, so thanks again.

fogra said on Apr. 20 '08

Wow, Nido! At first I thought it was a whale until I read it further. Having said that, I do have a hangover :{

nido said on Apr. 20 '08

@fogra.. hope you had a whale of a time though ;)

kriecheque said on Apr. 20 '08

can you put a mouth on him please

ClimaxDesigns said on Apr. 20 '08

maybe a bit bolder on the text since this could get reduced, would also help visually match the truck width at its smallest part

OcularInk said on Apr. 20 '08

The stance on the elephant looks great. You can sense that he/she is reaching for the fruit. It's also cool how the fruit retains sort of a generic look. I can see this working in a number of colors across the brand. Have you tried another color for the wordmark? Perhaps a dark gray to reference the elephant part of the name? Either way, nice work.

cfig said on Apr. 20 '08

This is really nice, i love the playfulness of it. I'd like to see the type a bit bigger though, and possibly a slightly heavier weight, to complement the boldness of the illustration a bit better. Great work.

nido said on Apr. 21 '08

thanks guys.. will work it a little more.. & try out the great suggestions (though i have no idea what truck width is???) ... though i kinda like it the way it is... but thanks again guys

daleharris said on Apr. 21 '08

brilliant nido. i wouldn't change a thing.

artboy said on Apr. 21 '08

I saw a dinosaur with an apple for a head! Odd! Lovely style though!

gthobbs said on Apr. 21 '08

@ artboy: An applesaurus?
@ nido: Nice work. I like it a lot.

leighton_hubbell said on Apr. 21 '08

I like it. It's great.

logomotive said on Apr. 21 '08

Nice nidomark, type is a bit small though.

winglap said on Apr. 21 '08

Nice font and shape combination.

artboy said on Apr. 22 '08

@gthobbs: Yeah I think so! Can't remember them featuring in Jurassic Park though so I can't be sure! ;)

chanpion said on Apr. 22 '08

Very nidoesque ;^)

grubedoo said on Apr. 22 '08

This is a gorgeous mark. I really like how the formality of a serif typeface juxtaposes the playful mark. The type could stand to be a bit heavier though, but not much.

Jeff Fisher LogoMotives said on Apr. 24 '08

Eye-catching, simple, elegant and beautiful - a great identity concept!

asterion said on Apr. 29 '08

Love it!

alecs.stan said on May. 06 '08

i woul add, for the sake of "recognisebility" a little tail to the elefant. maybe rised in the air to show excitement. either than that it's great. great colour too.

sandhya said on May. 06 '08

A tail would be nice :)

BigAl67 said on May. 19 '08

Brilliant in its simplicity. Love it. Don't mind the the type either... would also work with a very smooth, rounded sans serif - although we're all using that a lot these days, so nice to see someone go for a serif font for a change that's not Trajan.

faby said on May. 26 '08

reeeeeeally cute!

sunset said on May. 30 '08

Thats beautiful, its absolutely cool.

TECHNEO said on Jun. 24 '08

must say: great work!

nido said on Jun. 26 '08

thank you guys, gals...

miss godbout said on Jun. 27 '08

bravo !!! really clean and cute

saawan said on Jul. 05 '08

Whoops! All this while I've been seeing it as a dinosaur! I missed the li'l white dot for the elephant's eye and was wondering how it was associated with elephant! Now that I know, good work. Floating it right now!

hardlysquare said on Jul. 05 '08

Maybe relate the ascenders to the elephant trunk? Maybe something fun to play with. I really like this logo though.

Muamer said on Jul. 15 '08

Congratulations Nido ! :-)

nido said on Jul. 15 '08

thank you.. i would also like to thank God.. my parents, wife, daughter, cat, fish that got eaten by the cat.. God... no.. stop the music.. i ain done!!!...

OcularInk said on Jul. 15 '08

Let me be the first to interrupt you. Congrats, buddy!!

borinagge said on Jul. 15 '08

CONGRATULATIONS Nido!

firebrand said on Jul. 15 '08

Just gets better and better each time I see it. Congrats mate.

fogra said on Jul. 15 '08

Yep, well deserved mate.

kunt said on Jul. 15 '08

So simple and so stunning. Makes mostly jealousy you know. Enjoy your creation!

kaimere said on Jul. 17 '08

Batman and Robin do it again ... big ups Nido ... Mabruk

brandsimplicity said on Jul. 18 '08

Gadzooks I think your right, rest assured viewers the dynamic duo will be keep the world safe against the evils of baddesignartists and his evil henchman.Congrats Nido, killer design.

logomotive said on Jul. 18 '08

Congrats Nido, finally figured out what all the hype was about.

nido said on Jul. 30 '08

thank you everyone... again.. i was also involved in creating the name for this company... which makes it a bit more special (to me)

penflare said on Aug. 06 '08

one word. perfection.

hindmarshdesign said on Aug. 14 '08

Brilliant work with the name everything else. This is simply beautiful.

nido said on Sep. 07 '08

(sigh)... this has been selected for logolounge 5..too .. there.. i said it!.. i must admit feeling a bit whorish prancing about on logopond because my work got selected for logolounge!.. i guess im a sucker for a bandwagon though!

logoholik said on Sep. 07 '08

:) It would be an interesting thing to see in a few years logolounge (future) community members brag about their logos entered logopond vol.1 edition :)

daleharris said on Sep. 07 '08

I see people comparing Logopond and Logolounge and I have wanted to say this for a while but it should be obvious that Logopond is not Logolounge and Logolounge is not Logopond. Logolounge's strength is that it is a way to get your work published in an International marketplace. Logopond's strength however is that it is a supportive community where people can discuss their work and recieve feedback. I reckon anyone who reckons one will become the other or compares them as if they are the same thing is kidding themselves. There's my 2c anyway. ;)

logomotive said on Sep. 07 '08

Darrel, I for one do not see anyone here comparing the 2? where is this coming from.?
BTW the majority of people buying the Logolounge book are designers themselves to see their work published (printed). I'm neither against or for but feel that one stands a far better chance gaining work online as apposed to a published printed book that far less will view. Logos are also being "published" here and this is also an international marketplace, hey one day i also may join as I kind of feel outta the loop.I see strength in both. Just my 2 cents.

logomotive said on Sep. 07 '08

Sorry I meant Dale! ^

logomotive said on Sep. 07 '08

^^^Oh I think Bojan (logoholik) meant to say Logopond (future)??
that must be where you grabbed that from.

Sorry nido ;-}

ClimaxDesigns said on Sep. 07 '08

nice nido, @dale, I think all logopond needs to surpass logolounge is a book to be honest. I think with some tighter administering and some added features to the usability and and over all nitpick with the interface so it works in all browsers correctly I really don't see what's stopping logopond from surpassing its 'older brother'.

With the awards yearly, some other community activities, maybe even a conference of sorts, some higher profile partnerships with notable logo designers and i think that would put it way over the top. Just the fact that this site is a free to the public community site puts it in a nice position to become a perennial identity website. Not trying to be big headed but I really think if i can develop some corporate/ design partnerships this site could really gain some traction which means more exposure for everyone.

daleharris said on Sep. 08 '08

hmm, it is an interesting concept but it depends what you mean by 'surpass'. i am a huge fan of both logopond and logolounge, but they are not even the same type of site, and i do not for a second believe that one is capable of eclipsing the other in their own spheres of expertise. because of it's exclusivity logolounge will never be the type of community that logopond is (and let's not forget that afterall logolounge is not a design community, but a submission mechanism and catalogue that supports a printed product). i firmly believe that logopond's success is because it is a 'free to the public community site' as you say. i really don't see the reasoning behind logopond thinking it needs to be more like logolounge.

logomotive said on Sep. 08 '08

^well stated!! do your own thingy :-)

logoholik said on Sep. 08 '08

No! He is not! :)

logoholik said on Sep. 08 '08

I object!

logoholik said on Sep. 08 '08

only the time will tell :)

nido said on Sep. 08 '08

yeah.. anyway.. while your still on about that bore!.. @David.. im still banned from the forum.. what am i???.. Al Capone!

illusio said on Sep. 21 '08

Damn straight dale. The little ele rocks my world. I wish I could draw cool little characters like that!

Aro said on Aug. 28 '09

really nice nido!!

siah-design said on Aug. 28 '09

I've admired this one before buddy - but I've never taken the time to comment. I love the style and executions on your logos. Awesome. Keep it up!

JF said on Aug. 28 '09

Although what I'm about to agree with is an old comment in this thread made by daleharris, I completely agree with what he said -- LogoPond is unique, doesn't need to compare itself to/duplicate others. It's formula is unique, and should stay that way.

And, this logo is fabulous.

nido said on Aug. 29 '09

Gui lah hui te ha fellas... your all too kind...

magicshadow said on Nov. 05 '09
