clashmore said:Thanks, David. Big fan of the blog. I'd have to disagree with you on the DeBeers comparison, though. I think this one is different enough to hold up.

The DeBeers logo uses a little sparkly thing to create the B, while this one uses serifs to make an ornate "D", the counter of which resembles a B.
And watch commenting on whether something is gallery material or not.

THEArtistT said:I have to agree with David. It is too close to the DeBeers logo for me as well. DeBeers is too well known and their version is better than this one; however, I have never liked that DeBeers logo.

THEArtistT said:When David first showcased the DeBeers logo in his blog, I said I didn't think it was too much of a creative stretch to put a D and B together that way. Your logo proves that opinion. Sorry. You have plenty of nice logos. This just ain't one of them.

@ THEArtistT: You're right, probably should've done this one up right with a bevel, gradient, and drop shadow. And maybe a nice glow effect, just to be safe.

THEArtistT said:You mean my fingers. I've looked through all the logos on this site and there have been plenty of logos on here that look a lot like others on this site and in the world. Y'all are usually pretty quick to point it out and condemn the artist. And I'm not the only one to point out that this logo is basically the same as DeBeers.
I simply don't like this logo. There are a lot of his logos I do like, I've said so and some are in my favorites as well. This is nothing personal. Just my opinion on an opinion forum.

clashmore said:Call me conceited, but I think the execution (of the mark at least) is more refined on this one than the De Beers logo.
