very nice colors, very nice work. :-)

Thanks Ray! It was a fun one to work on, espeially seeing the positive/negative space working out so well to create the leaf/person image.

Nice use of color. It's a shame the product never launched.

very nice logo. I think "hr" might be a bit too bold. I think it takes away from the great mark. You probably didn't name it, but I'm getting tired of everything being "something-pod" or "pod-something".

[sternz] said on Oct. 11 '06

Very nice job. The colors are great.

rohdesign said on Oct. 12 '06

KGB, yeah, I agree on the pod name. This mark is from early 2005 and it wasn't my choice on the name. :-)

As for heavier HR, you might have a point. I played with various weights there, but in the end felt the bolder emphasized HR a little better, since that was the emphasiz point of the mark.

sternz, thanks for the kind words! :-)

My only complaint...it's a little similar to Duke Construction's logo.

Ocularink, thanks for the note. Never heard of Duke Construction until tonight.

I'd say the two marks have only a faint resemblance when compared â both use 3 leaves.

Colors are different, the hrpod mark forms a person with the 3rd top leaf having a head reversing out of it and the Duke logo doesn't. The fonts are also quite different (sans serif vs. serif).

Thanks for the comment!

I wouldn't change a thing. Great design. Just works.

Excellent use of gestault with positive/negative space. Good color pallet and clean type.

grapxdave and mcritz, thanks for the kind words!

Great logo, 4 stars. The mark is great. My crit is the huge HR as well. There is just such a difference between the HR and the POD that it feels disjointed. The mark is gorgeous, but the typeface detracts from it.

rohdesign said on Oct. 21 '06

thanks biohaz. I think I'm going to play with a less bold version and see how that compares. When it's up here I'll link to it so you guys can have a look.
