koodoz said:Wow! At first it was just another logo, until I saw the pencil, which was a pleasant surprise.
My only critique would be to use a thicker, rounder font to match the stroke of the pencil. VAG Rounded perhaps??

I'll try a bolder type. Regarding the placement, I was going to use the mark without the text, thats why I didn't put any effort into layout, I will update it as it progresses.

dache said:Nice one Alex. If it were mine I would have it at 90 degrees rather than that angle so the type can be read quickly and in the easiest manner.

I put it on an angle on purpose, that way its easier to see the pencil first. I changed the font to reduce the contrast between the mark and the text.

The font complements the symbol and overall comes across as friendly. I also think the pencil looks better on an angle. It helps the viewer to see the pencil first, as opposed to seeing the letters first and subsequently, regurgitating the business name.

onesummer said:LOVE IT. my only suggestion is to seperate the leg of the 'm' with the stalk of the 'd' as you did the other left of the 'm' and the round portion of the 'd'.

ryantoyota said:I love it too. My suggestion would be to squish the round part of the d so that it looks more in perspective with the rest of the pencil.

djuice said:@Marc - thanx, not everyone sees the pencil right away though, even on an angle
@ onesummer - I tried separating m and d, the gap is just asking to be filled
@Ryan - thx, originally it was oval, but I wanted something more abstract, plus a squished d didn't look like a d, now it's an eraser...)

dikkers said:pure class man. the perspective shift between the D and the curve of the A is cool.
i initially thought it might look better with the M/D break, but it's grown on me.
Unique but simple.
