Makes me think a little of "mastercard's new logo":http://adland.tv/n1rv4n4g8/2006/julyjpgs/mastercard.jpg , and the text from it's right is too small. Looks good but in my opinion still needs some touch.

woelve said on Oct. 22 '09

I know it can remind someone of mastercard, but I think it's different enough. And how to show solar eclipse in other way... :-) The text on the right is small, yes, but I have also other version with bigger text. Thanks for your feedback.

I like it. Having the 'O' land in the sweet spot where the two colors meet is a nice touch.

A bit too close to Master Card, especially for a branding agency.

Yeaaa!!! love me some neutraface!

couldn't get the link to work

designtofeel said on Sep. 16 '11

The link didn't work for me either, which was disappointing because I really love this logo. Also, I wouldn't worry about the similarities to Master Card. In my opinion, the only thing they have in common is two overlapping circles.

epsilon said on Sep. 16 '11

Well, duh. MasterCard = two overlapping circles. This logo (stripped of all decoration and reduced to its bare memorable minimum) = two overlapping circles.

That being said, the concept of using two planets to capture the Astro aspect of the name is nice and solid. Just needs to be made a bit more distinct in its reduced form.

nathantrafford said on Sep. 16 '11

This kind of stuff annoys me. It's two circles so it's a ripoff of mastercard? Do you know how many logos before mastercard had intersecting circles? Let me stick my neck out and make the claim that *gasp* there were images of intersecting circles before 1966! Crazy I know.

Now if this logo had two circles of equal size that intersected, and at the intersecting area was made of horizontal bars, then yes I would think it was a bit of a rip off. But it gets really frustrating when perfectly original designs are brushed aside because of silly comparisons like this.

It's like disregarding a musician's song because he rhymes two words in it that some other songwriter in the past has rhymed.

Mastercard does not own circles.

designtofeel said on Sep. 17 '11

In fairness, nobody said it was a ripoff of master card, only that it was reminiscent and too close. In my opinion though, it's not. I didn't think of MC until someone said it.

woelve said on Sep. 18 '11

It's not in use now, so I think it doesn't matter any longer. I realised after some time, that someone can say it's similar execution. It wasn't intentional.
