Calm down, this logo I made few weeks ago, but its non commercial, and this is for group (all grops have logo) on this website. And afkoz I didnt see your sign before. Just haphazard. Regards

Hi tcheely, great minds must think alike. :-) I checked out your website, and you have a great collection of logos. However, because this is original content and I am the author and copyright holder, I advise you to please remove the logo ( immediately ) found here: http://www.digart.pl/grupy/1845/Graphic_design/

saawan said:

That group is Graphic Design i.e., GD and not DG so that logo isn't appropriate.

saawan said:

As far as my knowledge goes, an eye starts looking at a picture from left. The serifs suggest the D, first. If you want to see a G first, the rounded part of the G should be seen. Moreover as the D shape is dominant over G, anyone will first see a D before noticing the G.
Very less people read it as GD, comparitively.

that link you posted has absolutely no bearing on visual recognition, it talks about reading patterns lol

You absolutely need to show this to Dolce & Gabbana people. Their current logotype is nothing compared to this one :-)

epsilon said:

By the way, I think saawan is absolutely right .. at least for people with native language that reads left-to-right.

OMNI said:

I do not know if someone else already said this, the comments list is too long to check ;-) but I saw this symbol and immediately thought "Graphic Design". Right? Am I right? :D

OcularInk said:

Etienne, welcome back! Actually, there was no direct intention when designing the symbol. Was just playing around. But now that you mention it...hmm.
