I like this a lot... This is one modern government ;) Great icon, nice balance with the typography...

mister jones said on Aug. 25 '08

thanks, it's just an idea though. They haven't actually commissioned me..

yet?
:)

Type08 said on Aug. 25 '08

They should Mister J, they should... Good luck! :)

jimk said on Aug. 25 '08

Love the simplicity of the mark and the font is nice too!

firebrand said on Aug. 25 '08

Clever. It's modern and yet it seems to mimic an East Asian character. Interesting that you've dropped the national symbol. You could make a merlion out of the S and G ;)

mister jones said on Aug. 25 '08

thanks firebrand, i see what you mean with the merlion, but i think it's time to drop that freak of nature :)

lucadolci said on Aug. 25 '08

Very great logo, congratulations for idea :)

Darrel said on Aug. 25 '08

Very nice. Alas, this would never past muster via a government committee. It's way too nice for that.

Matheus said on Aug. 25 '08

it ressembles me a bit of raja's brand.
anyway, it's a great logotype.

mister jones said on Aug. 25 '08

@ darrel: you hit the nail on the head... after 18 months here working for huge corporations (quit a few governmental), i can only agree with your statement.

sdijock said on Aug. 28 '08

Great mark - very Asian in look and feel. Love the simplicity of the type underneath as well.

Thomas said on Aug. 29 '08

Nice and clean with an excellent concept! Congratulations.

mdlogo85 said on Aug. 29 '08

I like so much your choise about the font... it's so clear... Good work..

logomotive said on Aug. 29 '08

Not so good composition though.

mister jones said on Aug. 29 '08

made the icon a bit smaller, was too heavy. Composition is fine in my opinion.

Kwaku said on Aug. 30 '08

I think the composition is really ok
stable design

respiro said on Aug. 30 '08

Simple and powerful. Congrats!

omixam said on Aug. 30 '08

it's a good mark. See you that: http://www.orangeonweb.ru/logotypes/soldis.html

@ oximax, cheers for that soldis capital link, i see the similarities but can honestly say that i never saw this logo before - don't really like the type too. Mine was conceived making sketches on a piece of paper during a drink at a singapore bar - I think i still have those somewhere. It was originally intended for another (commissioned but unfortunately canned) huge project - related to singapore branding, but if i told you i'll have to kill you all.. :)

cobaltcow said on Aug. 30 '08

i think this one is awesome however - at a government level, they're less likely to go with an 'monogram' logo and want a 'mark' of some type that represents the country. try to capture the feeling of the country or promote its assets - kinda like an 'olympics' style logo. the mark usually represents something about the country while also representing harmony, and competition.
worth some thought anyway.

omixam said on Aug. 31 '08

I believe you. It has happened to me also. It is very difficult to do a design that it does not remind to other one. Anyhow yours seems to me better

NOMADESIGN said on Aug. 31 '08

Brillant!!!

gyui said on Sep. 02 '08

epluth said on Sep. 03 '08

brackio said on Sep. 05 '08

nice

Paul Rand said on Mar. 09 '09

you punk!
you nailed it!

jtroll said on Mar. 22 '09

Hey Mister Jones, do you mind me asking what typeface you used here? It's classy - not too corporate not too modern. Just right, as Baby Bear would say.

mister jones said on Mar. 22 '09

jtroll, it's Apex Sans Book, by www.vllg.com
