Craven91 said:I like where this is going, but I get scared when you say "add more detail."
Don't get too crazy - you are on to something good here.

firebrand said:Thanks Raja and Kevin.
I think the concept's ok but the execution is giving me a headache.

OcularInk said:What about trying a version without gradients? Instead use solid color for shadows and highlights. I think it would really come together. Still...nice.

firebrand said:Dean; I agree, less is more.

firebrand said:Kevin; Yep, you hit the nail on the head! I tend to shy away from gradients.

sabir said:excellent .. bravo...
the logo itself explains the sole purpose. the saw like teeths resemble the raising curtain.
great work.. keep it up

OcularInk said:I always saw the 'raising curtain' as well - not an audience. Still loving this one, firebrand. Please post up a version without gradients. Humor me, won't you?!

firebrand said:Haha. I see what you mean. This one stalled a bit.
Ok d'Oc I'll give it a shot when I get time. :)

webing said:very nice concept! congrats...
no gradients seems to fit better on your great logo.
-- just an idea -- what about if you make the rays of light in different directions with lens efects over the red area....

firebrand said:Cheers for your suggestions, Webing. I intend to revisit this at some point.

helios said:Nice work (agree with the gradient issue). Is this the final version accepted by the client? Also, what font did you use?

TernaciousT said:Ummm, time for bad puns, I think. Very juicy concept, one I can really get teeth into.....! ;)
I have to agree with taking the gradients out and the type probably needs more work. (Type is my own nemesis when it comes to logo design) The concept is sound though as the stage, curtain and lights form the watermelon perfectly. Its a few tweeks away from being done.

dikkers said:Really fantastic concept. Didn't see curtains, was looking at an audience in my mind
Would making them less uniform (to look more like a silhouette of an audience) make it to busy? If so, curtains works well :D

grubedoo said:Sweet. With a little fine tunin' (gradients, type) it would be supa-dupa sweet.

Edward Scherf said:Pretty nice concept, I'm really liking the idea behind it. Reminds me of this one a little too much though - http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/16726 - Never the less, well done.
