i like this a lot! very nice.. my kinda logo!...though i think the V could be bought in a little closer to the A.. what font is that?

logomotive said:

Nido, that looks like Microgamma bold. I also like this logo but it kind of reminds me of a Cobra because of the shape and jawline, but I guess thats cool because it's unique.

winger said:

I like the mark man:) Kerning could be improved though. BTW the font looks like eurostile and the creature looks like a cobra jaguar to me lol

It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a cobra mixed... bred for its skills in Ju-jitsu.

Great logo, man!!

Areadesign said:

Thank for your comments! Yes, the font is the Eurostile and the animal a lion turning is head.

I read once (on a designer's blog) that you should never use Eurostile. But I think it works here. Nice mark, too.

I saw the lion and love it, I like the use of eurostile and I love Oc's comment.

But what do I know?

This is very nice.

Does anyone else see the Thundercats Logo

rfrusso said:

ThunderCats HO!

'bout time we'll see another re-make in theaters...

OcularInk said:

I can see the similarities, but this one definitely stands on it's own.

Areadesign said:

Yes I'm a fan of Thundercats...since twenty years. I worked for the mouth in that way and for the "hair" I'm a fan of link text
dragonball Z too.

abeall said:

Awesome! I saw a lion... didn't see a Cobra but the jaw did make me wonder if it was a hairy dragon after I saw it was for Ju-jitsu.

Interestingly, it reminded me (not in a negative way) of the CAT logo or a construction bobcat just because of the construction-yellow color and the feline connotation. :)

logomotive said:

For the record the type here is Microgamma OR eurostile. however you may call it.


Nov. 26 '07

logomotive said:

I mean MICROGRAMMA! and the reason I say this is because it's all UPPERCASE. Eurostile has both.

OcularInk said:

Yea, Mike...we get it. Shut up already!!

Stick it where the sum don't shine!

This reminded me of the Lion Kings Scar

I find the line defining the ear could be thick so it scale a little better.
It could benefit from some kerning such as bringing the 'A' closer to the 'V'.

OcularInk said:

@ logomotive : LOL!!

@ dache : Does that mean you like it?

Try appreciating someone's work for a change, dache.

dache said:

Just because there is a critique does not mean there is no appreciation of the design.


Nov. 28 '07

winger said:

I know, I'm just sayin' why don't you put the appreciation first and the critique next..? You're always comin' out shouting.. hey that's so wrong, your F in the mark is an uppercase and this is in lowercase.. Doesn't fit. This reminds me of this bleh bleh bleh..

I really love the logo and the name. But when you put JuJitsu in it, I'm just lost.

The mark is clean and readable but I have an issue with the hump on the back behind the head. It goes too far into the head and the face needs a bit more work, me thinks. Aside from this, its good
