I agree. Love chunky serifs when used appropriately...your use is very appropriate! Looks great in greyscale. Good work!

Love the negative space? Am I missing something in the negative space?

I think that the circles of the hands are supposed to resemble the "birdman" thing if you know what I mean- it forms eyes in the negative space (not so much negative space as an invisible head/eyes).

regardless...it makes me smile

Relevant said:

The negative space reminds me of that guy from Harvey Birdman, which only makes this logo even cooler. And now I have the theme song stuck in my head.

Love the use of the negative space and the concept is great, however, is a bit creepy dunno if that was the intension of the logo. other than that GREAT WORK!

actiondesigner said:

Thanks for all the feedback:)

@Relevant & CKeil: The birdman resemblance was not intentional:) Neither the negative space at first, but it was obvious when I put the two shapes together

@tconrad: Always happy when someone likes my work. Very humble & grateful. Thanks

@hindmarshdesign: The choice of type was easy in this case and feels right. Happy you feel the same way

@Radhacelis: Morphing bird and hand is a good base for a creepy feel. The idea is to make it creepy and different. The colours and overall contrast I feel enhances the creepyness even more.

@gthobbs: always glad to put a smile on your face:) I must have done something right

Type08 said:

This one is off the hook! Tariq is right, it brakes the boundaries of a logo...

actiondesigner said:

@tariq-design
Because the logo is too detailed ...or is there any other reason? I guess it is based on your predefined understanding of what a logo is that doesnt make this eligible

@Type08
Dont know if you are being sarcastic:) or that you feel the same as tariq-design? Im just guessing you are with me on this then?!?!:-)

Anyways ...very greatful for all the feedback guys:
