LogoPond

funny how you show the "foto"es "grow"ing .. :) I like it very mutch..

Funky! Nice colours too.

I like it, but the trunk of the tree looks a little too organic for the rest of the elements.

I really like the concept, colors and font choice, but I have to agree with KGB. Something about the shape of the roots is bugging me. Seems like maybe they should be a little more defined.

Yes, the roots could work better in another shape. The typeface could be tweaked to alleviate some of the problems the font in itself has. And I love the colors on it.

The only members I have been getting into with are nido and kaimere. They keep getting angry when I offer my opinions on people's work because it's honest and not all "buddy-buddy." And I think kaimere and I have reached an understanding anyway. I was just seeing if the "buzzword extremely positive" response is what people want around here - or do they want my critique and suggestions? I am glad to hear you're a big boy. So am I. Unfortunately some on here are not.

Senterbrands - If you read my last comment, I said I can see the idea of growth. No amount of internet smiley faces or winks can dispute that. It's there. Relevant - not sure what they say about bullies. Climax - I appreciate the words, but I am not thin-skinned. I would rather get the blunt criticism as long as it's constructive and not derogatory. I am looking for opinions and help on how to get better. Nido is the one who wrote a novel on the page on one of my developmental logos (Dan's Bright Ideas - which I revised and went in a different direction anyway). The thin-skin belongs to him.

Kaimere, I have to be. I've never had someone so mad at me that he wrote me a 5 paragraph book on his hurt feelings. Anyway, he is now giving constructive criticism, so I think the issue is behind us.

I think designers get their hearts broken a million times a day. So no matter the tone of criticism, its the act. I am perplexed why was the designer ambushed. Cowardly and a childish act, or was this a joke?

I'm seeing a nice crop of imacs (or mac classics). I'm wondering if the slides should be squared off?

Ok Dean, may I call you Dean? Too bad, I'm callin you Dean. You have created quite a stir since you've joined haven't you? I read all this 'honest opinion' remarks coming from you and it seems that you hold 'honesty' in very high regards when it comes to design critiques. But I also see your hints of sarcasm and ridicule targeting other designers in some of your comments when it was not provoked. If you so VALUE your integrity as an HONEST design critic and no airy fairy bull****, then just comment constructively like you do and not have a single motive to subtley provoke an argument which you really weren't looking for right?! Honest constructive criticsms and comments can also be contructive in itself where it provides the recipient the useful info without ill feelings. If you're one of those that want to give personal harsh critiques that stirs the pot, IMO and I'm sure alot will agree AND judging from your talented showcase (yes that was sarcasm) you are nowhere NEAR qualified to provide such levels of critiques. Also (yes I'm not finished), someone once said to me, if one person said its bad. Ignore it. If two persons say its bad, ignore it. If three persons says its bad, it must be well...bad. You have not provided your much yearned for insight into my work yet (yes sarcasm again) so these are not words from a bitter mouth. I just don't feel you have EARNED the right to express yourself like that. And if you think I'm wasting my time, I haven't. I typed this comment on my notebook whilst taking a nice relaxing crap ; )

I think chanpion just put me in my place. You guys act as if I WANT to argue. If I want to argue I'll go to a message board and talk about my favorite bands. I am perfectly capable of delivering positives as well as negatives. It just appears that you guys would rather focus on the negative things I've said as opposed to looking at EVERYTHING I've posted. I'm sure it all balances out. I think OMNI summed it up best. And who's Dean?

Oh - is that what I wrote?

I think the type placement works better this way - they fit around the curves of the trunk. The photos seems a bit tight towards the bottom. What about spacing them out a bit?

Much better before - this feels like everything is jammed in now!! It needs more breathing space.

good for you... not all advice is the right advice... all you need to do though is... lol only kidding, like this just the way it is...

I guess you have to go with what you think is best.

Photosnapper, I think the prize is you get to have your stuff in the gallery. I found this place a bit too clique-ish and not very constructive. I tried going constructive and got nothing but backlash. I say good luck to you here - I really got nothing out of it.

@ photosnaper : Non-designers definitely visit this site. Since becoming a member when LogoPond first started, I have had frequent logo requests referred from here. As a designer, I can't stress this enough. It's not who you know, but who knows you. Having your work on LogoPond will get attention. Good luck!! @ Craven91 : Have you learned nothing since becoming a member?

Some more great points from admarcbart and kaimere.

Hehehe i tried to resist the urge but i couldn't. With every designer who decides to exhibit he does for his own reasons. Terms used are terms used whether we like it or not in the professional world, in someways this site only scratches the surface since its only one facet of our chosen profession but the i think the one true lesson you can see here is despite some people not getting what they want out of the site ... or use as a personal agenda when we should be talking about said logo is .... god bless 'em - they are still here - which shows the value maybe not material but its something

hahah you love to argue ... im not calling you just showing a point ... dont you find it strange with all of your somewhat negative take on the site you are still here. Im just saying that your still here hence it shows a point. Quite Ironic

I agree - kaimere and adamantbart need to let this go. Photosnapper asked a question. I responded. Kaimere - your first two sentences illustrate irony. You say you're not doing something and then do that exact thing in the next breath. Adbart - you CLEARLY have an opinion on me as a person which is strange because we've never met. It's probably best that we avoid each other on here. Sorry about this Climax.

I guess that's as close as you can get to actually being genuine, so I'll have to take it. Yawn and peace to you as well.
