ahab said:This is clever and well executed. I like how you placed the type on top of the mark. Not that it matters... but would you ever reverse this out (black) and how?
I love it.

firebrand said:Thanks again for your comments Andrew and Ahab. This baby aint gonna reverse out since the light would be black. And looks weaker in 'line' which I guess are reasons for its rejection.

ahab said:REJECTION!? Crazy bastards... this is a done deal to me. AHHHHH!
At least you have a cool portfolio piece out of this.

chanpion said:Love the fact that it represents the 'L' as well. Stare at it long enough, close your eyes and its burnt in your retina forever! Way2go Roy!

I keep running into it on the gallery and it hits me right in the face every time. I want to start a company just so I can use it.

NOMADESIGN said:If I could allow a little criticism to this beauty... The box opening looks a bit "sitting" on the oval gradient... in other words the lighting does not seem to come from the box opening... When I first seen the thumb I thought of a white sign standing on its angle with a spotlight above it... I quickly understood my misinterpretation... still I think a bit more work would have brought this thing to perfection.
Love it.

firebrand said:@Nomadesign: Thanks, I hear what you're saying...laser light rather than diffused light. I might give that a go.
@Respiro: Good point. It would have to be contained within a box as it won't reverse out.

bbx said:It looks very nice indeed. But I wonder if such a logo would be easily "portable", if it can fit anywhere. For example, on a white sheet of paper, would you make it fit in a blue square ? That's the only problem I see with this kind of logo.

logomotive said:Wow, my eyes are hurting, but only because it's so cool. very EYE catchy ROY. The V shape reminds me of some auto company but I can't think which one. Very interesting logo.

ClimaxDesigns said:Does it even have to reverse out, man... but since we are criticizing :D, i have been opening and closing boxes for the past 72 hours ( see forum thread under news and annc. ) and i must say that no box can open like you show it here with out the top bending, there needs to be another side added, you know what i mean, or you could give the long side a slight bend upward indicating that there is some stress on the other side holding it down.

firebrand said:Climax: That's logical criticism;) I'd lose the L shape if I added another side but I might try bending it a little. Thanks.

djuice said:Caught my eye right away, but before I read the comments I kept seeng 10 minutes to 2... I guess the diffused light made it look like a backlit clock for me

djuice said:It's a really cool concept, now that I see it. I'd try to make it look more like a lid before it gets stuck at 1:51 for some people ;^)

leo_bassani said:beautiful! but obviously the client would not pick that..... unless if the client was some teenager. I also want to you that it is somewhat similar to the xbox idea, but actually better.

bettina said:I feel that more could have been done with the name LightBox. Just a little disappointing :( Sorry!

firebrand said:They chose a word mark, so just as well I didn't do more with the name 'LightBox'.

senangh said:what about rexona mark

fogra said:Get a life, senagh!

fogra said:Sorry, I meant to say senangh.
Anyway, the Rexona or Sure logo is actually closer to the Nike tick.
This Lightbox logo has a completely different concept and execution.

RanTasipi said:Good concept, altough i think the upper part of the box should be logically darker. ;)

firebrand said:Thanks RansTasipi, I had a play with the blend tool:
