Did you thought about adding some kind of vertical line before this, so you can read the ''K". Because if I wouldn`t have read that your name is Kosta, I would`t have thought right away that this is a "K". I like it but I think is somehow incomplete. Just my sincere opinion, hope you don`t mind!

Of course I don't mind :) Thank you for your comment.

The reason is that I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and also abstract, so readability of the icon wasn't the primary goal.

It may evolve ;) Thanks.

I like your work a lot. Though your personal logo reminds me a lot of the logo in use by the Dutch airline Martinair ( http://www.museumofflight.org/Images/Uploads/Collections/Logos/martinair.jpg ).

Wow... Sometimes, it seems to me that it is impossible to make a very simple mark that is unique :(

It needs some type. I see the KM but I think it needs to say Kosta Mijic somewhere to be a logo.

kosta said:

Of course :)
For now I use lowercase 'kostamijic' in DIN (regular or medium) with it, but I haven't yet settled on a definite typeface. So I only showed the monogram here (I do often use it without my name).

Thanks for the comment.

I wouldn't change it at all. The fact that there was no type and that it didn't look like a word is what drew me in. I thought, "Hey, that looks pretty cool, what is it?" Which probably wouldn't be a great response if you were selling product, but you are selling you as a designer and therefore the abstract makes it work. Nice logo.

Thank you Steve. That is exactly the kind of message I am trying to convey.

(yet of course, there are many situations where I have to put my name somewhere)

You have to be aware if the shape of your logo is simple :)

In this day and age, and with the widespread technology we have access to, some logo designs are bound to be similar. Either way, I really enjoy opening the logopond homepage and being greeted with this fantastic mark!

Thank you for your kind words Brian .
Yes, Aleksander, I am aware that this might be a bit too simple. Though it is not identical to the example you provided, thank you very much for letting me know about it.

I've seen this logo on an aircraft on Amsterdam Airport. It looks exactly like this, only red. KM stood for some initials, forgot what they were exactly.
