Cute design all the same :)

ClimaxDesigns said:i could have sworn i left a comment on this, but anyway the mark is great the type not so much, and not so much as in its relationship to the mark not in general

shahrulazmi said:gotta agree wit ClimaxDesigns, the mark is great and still identifiable with the simplicity, but somehow the type doenst quite complement the mark and vice versa

ClimaxDesigns said:maybe a bit bolder on the text since this could get reduced, would also help visually match the truck width at its smallest part

OcularInk said:The stance on the elephant looks great. You can sense that he/she is reaching for the fruit. It's also cool how the fruit retains sort of a generic look. I can see this working in a number of colors across the brand. Have you tried another color for the wordmark? Perhaps a dark gray to reference the elephant part of the name? Either way, nice work.

cfig said:This is really nice, i love the playfulness of it. I'd like to see the type a bit bigger though, and possibly a slightly heavier weight, to complement the boldness of the illustration a bit better. Great work.

nido said:thanks guys.. will work it a little more.. & try out the great suggestions (though i have no idea what truck width is???) ... though i kinda like it the way it is... but thanks again guys

grubedoo said:This is a gorgeous mark. I really like how the formality of a serif typeface juxtaposes the playful mark. The type could stand to be a bit heavier though, but not much.

BigAl67 said:Brilliant in its simplicity. Love it. Don't mind the the type either... would also work with a very smooth, rounded sans serif - although we're all using that a lot these days, so nice to see someone go for a serif font for a change that's not Trajan.

saawan said:Whoops! All this while I've been seeing it as a dinosaur! I missed the li'l white dot for the elephant's eye and was wondering how it was associated with elephant! Now that I know, good work. Floating it right now!

hardlysquare said:Maybe relate the ascenders to the elephant trunk? Maybe something fun to play with. I really like this logo though.

nido said:(sigh)... this has been selected for logolounge 5..too .. there.. i said it!.. i must admit feeling a bit whorish prancing about on logopond because my work got selected for logolounge!.. i guess im a sucker for a bandwagon though!

logoholik said::) It would be an interesting thing to see in a few years logolounge (future) community members brag about their logos entered logopond vol.1 edition :)

daleharris said:I see people comparing Logopond and Logolounge and I have wanted to say this for a while but it should be obvious that Logopond is not Logolounge and Logolounge is not Logopond. Logolounge's strength is that it is a way to get your work published in an International marketplace. Logopond's strength however is that it is a supportive community where people can discuss their work and recieve feedback. I reckon anyone who reckons one will become the other or compares them as if they are the same thing is kidding themselves. There's my 2c anyway. ;)

logomotive said:Darrel, I for one do not see anyone here comparing the 2? where is this coming from.?
BTW the majority of people buying the Logolounge book are designers themselves to see their work published (printed). I'm neither against or for but feel that one stands a far better chance gaining work online as apposed to a published printed book that far less will view. Logos are also being "published" here and this is also an international marketplace, hey one day i also may join as I kind of feel outta the loop.I see strength in both. Just my 2 cents.

logomotive said:^^^Oh I think Bojan (logoholik) meant to say Logopond (future)??
that must be where you grabbed that from.
Sorry nido ;-}

ClimaxDesigns said:nice nido, @dale, I think all logopond needs to surpass logolounge is a book to be honest. I think with some tighter administering and some added features to the usability and and over all nitpick with the interface so it works in all browsers correctly I really don't see what's stopping logopond from surpassing its 'older brother'.
With the awards yearly, some other community activities, maybe even a conference of sorts, some higher profile partnerships with notable logo designers and i think that would put it way over the top. Just the fact that this site is a free to the public community site puts it in a nice position to become a perennial identity website. Not trying to be big headed but I really think if i can develop some corporate/ design partnerships this site could really gain some traction which means more exposure for everyone.

daleharris said:hmm, it is an interesting concept but it depends what you mean by 'surpass'. i am a huge fan of both logopond and logolounge, but they are not even the same type of site, and i do not for a second believe that one is capable of eclipsing the other in their own spheres of expertise. because of it's exclusivity logolounge will never be the type of community that logopond is (and let's not forget that afterall logolounge is not a design community, but a submission mechanism and catalogue that supports a printed product). i firmly believe that logopond's success is because it is a 'free to the public community site' as you say. i really don't see the reasoning behind logopond thinking it needs to be more like logolounge.
