For God's sake, where is design work in this case?!...
On the other hand, the find of bpotstra is shaking.

@respiro: If you can't figure that out, maybe you're in the wrong profession?

logomotive said:

The only improvement I can see with this design is making the I ever so slightly wider or narrowing the angles on the W and N. The strokes are all the same size causing the other two letters to seem bolder. It's just an optical thing but is done on your bolder type. Nice solution though and thats just my opinion.

tconrad said:

why more?... because I'm much more intrigued/impressed when there is a deeper conceptual meaning to a nice visual solution.

clashmore said:

I think it's perfectly acceptable (maybe even preferable) for a designer's logo to be more or less neutral. You don't want to turn off a potential client with some outlandish style. A well-designed logo that doesn't carry the baggage of some complex deeper meaning also allows your body of work to speak for itself.

thanks everyone.
@ the VIA's logotype, I've never seen it before since I live in southamerica, and there isn't many planes from Canada on the airport

Via is a railway, and I wasn't trying to suggest anything... Just wanted to make you aware in case you hadn't seen it.

I'm not suggesting creating an outlandish style to compensate for a deeper meaning. Very neutral simple designs can accomplish greater meanings as well, Fedex and the Northwest Air logos are good examples of that. These logos stand and speak very well for themselves (without the extra baggage), however very few passerby's see the subtleties that really transcend these marks.

I agree with Conrad, and not just that... There are bunch of brands whose logos probably wouldn't even hit the gallery here (or any other site) like Sony, Canon, Signal, Hugo Boss and many, many others... This new age of illustrative design somehow killed the perception for subtle...
