KGB said:

nice, but the flat spots inside the As and U is distracting from the water in the Q.


Feb. 12 '08

smartinup said:

much better. The As and Us may be different, but not distractin IMO, plus they will lend them selves very useful in the branding and marketing of this. what if the water was coming out of the Q to form the tail. Maybe to much like urinating... ha, very nice kev

Lucidity said:

I think the question on everyone's mind is, 'Is the Q half empty, or half full?'

I agree with KGB keep the lettering simple

Really good work, maybe you could change the water to a wave.

@ andersonmarques: Thanks, buddy!!

@ itsgareth: But I don't want to be a trend setter/former. Maybe a transformer, but not a trendformer. :-P

@ oronoz: Thanks, Allen!

@ KGB: Edited just for you. :-)

@ smartinup: Haha, interesting idea, but yea it might look funny. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Thanks!!

@ Lucidity: Hmm, half full for sure!! What can I say? I'm optimistic.

@ joseba: Done! Thanks!! :-)

@ anotheralex: Hmm, maybe I'll try that. Thanks!!

Kevin, I saw the original type you did and Loved it. It was unique but yet clean. I actually preferred that one, wish I had commented earlier.I did not find it distracting at all, it had style.


Feb. 12 '08

OcularInk said:

Well, shoot. Now I'm torn between the two. I think liked the other one better. Okay, let's take a vote. All those in favor of the original type solution say, "I". For all those opposed...yeah, you get the idea.

Thanks, Mike!

nido said:

i... didnt see the other one.. however...i... do like this.. what about a drip hanging off the bottom of the Q.. cause it almost looks like a tube.. but leave it actually.. coolio!

jjjost said:

Hmmm.. I think I liked the original type a bit better. Great stuff Kevin.

firebrand said:

Reminds me of a BiOrb or a washing machine. I like this type, Kev.


Feb. 12 '08

logomotive said:

@firebrand, did you see the other?


Feb. 12 '08

firebrand said:

Yes I did Mike... I wasn't sure about the flat bits.


Feb. 12 '08

logomotive said:

Awe com on guys be trend "setters" not followers. LOL


Feb. 12 '08

logomotive said:

DARE, to be different :-)


Feb. 12 '08

OcularInk said:

Okay, I'm going with my gut on this one. The final is uploaded. Thanks to everyone for all your helpful feedback.

@ nido: That's an interesting idea, Nav. I think you're right though, I'm gonna leave it. ;-)

@ jjjost: Thanks, man!!

@ firebrand: Ah, you're right. It would work for a washing/dryer machine company. Thanks for chiming in, Roy!!

@ logomotive: Rock on, Mike.

logomotive said:

well you got my vote on both. :-)

looks stylish!

ahab said:

This is great, Oc. I like it as is...but what do I know?

chanpion said:

Man, I missed the first one! But this one is kool! Love the type treatment. It was what drawn me to it initially. I would make the water part in the 'Q' abit opaque just to give it some depth. Another great piece from the Doc.

"I think the question on everyone's mind is, 'Is the Q half empty, or half full?' "

The answer is : the Q is twice too big lol!

Great logo. Ik looks both smooth and square at the same time.

OcularInk said:

@ Logomotive: Thanks, dude!!

@ gstaltig: Thanks!!

@ ahab: More than you think. Thanks!!

@ chanpion: Chan da man!! Thanks!! I'll give it a whirl.

@ bbx: Lol!! Thanks!!

Dache, I'd love to know your thoughts behind your decision to sink this logo? Not saying your decision is wrong, just curious on how to improve this logo concept. Thanks! :-)

Dache and Lenin design have sunk like 90% of the gallery. Just an observation.

@ Lawrence : Thanks for the heads up.

And thanks efe-zero, bob sakoui, Webdesign, and bettina for your comments.

hairygorillaass said:

this may have already been mentioned, but the perspective given to the water in the q makes it look weaker than if it was just in an orthographic view. really dig the type treatment though


Jun. 13 '08

OcularInk said:

Thanks for your feedback. I wanted the water inside the Q to appear as if it were sloshing/moving around. However, I can see your point. Thanks again.

Beautiful.

And with just some little work on the water on the Q you have a timeless logo.

OcularInk said:

Thanks Jake. You have some clever and unique logos.

And thanks Julio!!

rfrusso said:

So sorry I didn't post sooner. I keep coming across this and have meant to tell you this is one of my favorites in the "pond."

The water in the Q is cool and obviously fits here but my favorite detail(s) is the little added bits in the other letters.

Nice work as always!


Jan. 31 '09

OcularInk said:

Thanks so much for stopping by, Robert. I appreciate your kind words. I'm glad you noticed the little details on the letters. It was a tough call during the design process (whether or not to add the details), but some fellow logoponders convinced me otherwise. Thanks again. Take it easy!

LoGoBoom said:

Might even work with an added bit at the bottom where the Q stem starts. I too have never commented on how much I like this one.


Feb. 05 '09

OcularInk said:

I'll have to try that. Thanks for commenting, Glen.
