TrevC said:I like this one as well, especially the type. I'm just not sure about going with a dark background. I always like the look of printed materials (like business cards) with a light BG.
There's a pile of alternates here too

wolv said:typeface is really good! i wonder how the icon looks like in monotone/bw? or it's not a requirement?

TrevC said:B&W is not a huge concern, but I am working on it. The mark would only be printed single colour on an envelope, everything else will be colour.

logomotive said:This looks really nice, you did a good job, however you may want to alter or rethink this concept. I have seen it done a few times such as one on logopond here http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/4226. they look very similar to me at least. I like though.

TrevC said:Thanks logomotive. I appreciate your input
I was aware that circular logos with overlapping elements have been done in various ways before, but I've always been a big fan of them. People seem to respond well to this style.
This mark originally started out as an abstract S and C, and I was trying to emphasise the southern hemisphere on a globe as part of it (since South Creative is located in Australia). It didn't work out, and a refined version turned out like this:)

logomotive said:Okie dokie then, just thought I'd let you know in case you may have not seen that style. Good luck with your end results.

OcularInk said:Sorry, but I agree with the others. The type solution is nice, but this icon looks like all the other ones out there.

admarcbart said:Funny thing is there are about 4 or 5 that I know of here on the pond. :) Of course some of the color schemes or shapes may be different, however the concept is still the same.

onesummer said:i'm beginning to think "circular ring" marks like this will be the next 'globe'. I think AT&T is due for another rebranding in about....a week...hehehe.
@trevc, nice execution of the mark though for "this type" of symbol. as long as you like it, that's what counts.

trevc said:Thanks to everyone for the comments and criticisms.
Artboy: The Total logo is interesing. I had some early concepts that were very similar to that, when the S was still part of the design.
I've had a really good response to the logo (especially from clients and potential clients), so overall I'm not too worried if it's considered a common style/theme, etc.
admarcbart: I'd spotted Igalia ages ago, but hadn't seen your Seker logos. They're fantastic.
I'm glad to see a positive response to the type. I was nervous about making those changes.

The logo at first glance resembles firefox, maybe because of the colours more than the form. It also reminds me of "total"
