logomotive said:Thanks Rob, I am usually humble but different concepts here and there?... well feel they are the exactly same concept.

robgrinn said:I understand, you might be right. Besides that in this case it's a totally different use for the logo, I like yours better ;)
Keep it with the good stuff!

davidairey said:Interesting discussion.
A little off-topic, I wonder how much time on average logo designers spend on personal logo projects.
For me, I have very little time, but would like to make more.

jguay said:@dache - true, those are also hands formed using negative space, but this logo also creates the C for 'catch'. something that the 'Children's' logo didn't seem to pick up on...

dache said:@jguay, indeed it is a relatively smart solution, but is a 90 degree rotation enough to make the concept unique?

logomotive said:dache, kind of funny you pointed these out. In fact I designed one for High 5 Promotions with a hand over 12 years ago which was before both of these I believe. Maybe they got the idea from me.
Thanks guys, did not mean to cause any arguments.

OcularInk said:It's a great design, Mike...but I kind of agree with dache on this one. It just doesn't feel unique enough to be in your showcase. Ya know? I was also reminded of Roy's:
http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/25417
Roy took the concept a step further by using a frog foot, so it's a stronger and more unique solution. Ya know what I'm sayin, dude?

logomotive said:Oc if thats true then Roy copied and idea from so and so (but he really did not)who took that idea from so and so and put a hand in some shape like so and so and there are WAY more so and so's than this. lets start looking at all the hand logos out there or better lets start looking at similar geometrical shapes.Don't agree 100% but see some points. this just represented a Catch 5 I'd be willing to bet money that if one looked hard enough we can find a hand in a circle that was done a long long time ago.

firebrand said:A hearty debate going on here. Didn't even occur to me that it looked like the polka logo. I would think every letter in the alphabet has it's counter used in some way or another.
BTW I copied the Logopond logo ;)

@ cd: That's been on my mind for a while now.
"ha ha he's too busy bloggin about logos."
@ Mike: It does take quite some time, you're right there. The actual blog posts are just an hour or two every three or four days, but responding to comments takes the same, if not longer.

muhanadhachem said:Nice, i like it, and using the hand and make it look like a C is great on this logo.
good job

OcularInk said:I'd just like to say, ever since the internet, our job as logo designers has become more difficult. Ever since Logopond ( and other new logo sites popping up rapidly), our job has become even more difficult. With so many people around the globe becoming more and more interested in logo design, if a similar logo exists, it's going to be pointed out. We now have to work much harder to create unique and original designs for the client. One can find anything on the internet. I mean...anything! I think smartinup has made that perfectly clear. ;-) While I understand your concept is different because the hand and arm form the 'C', the design is far too similar to other designs out there. There is even another similar design in the Logopond "get a favicon spot". Okay, enough with my rant. :-P I know this was just a personal project, so it really doesn't matter. You still kick a$$ in my book.

ClimaxDesigns said:"There is even another similar design in the Logopond "get a favicon spot"" ROFL!!! I just saw that!

daleharris said:Here is part of a post that Jerry Kuyper made at Brand New. I think it is quite relevant.
__"I heard Milton Glaser make a relevant point in a lecture. To loosely paraphrase what he said %u2013 if I could ever bring a solution to a client that was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, they would have no reaction, positive or negative. It is the association to past experiences that people connect with.
Logolounge.com now has over 97,000 logos in the archives. I would bet most have been created in the last 5 or 10 years.
I think if anyone is looking to see something "unlike anything anyone had ever seen before" in a logo on this or any site, they are setting themselves up for disappointment."__

logomotive said:Dale, nice post but somehow I don't think this is going to be the final word? just guessing?? :-) At least it DID get a reaction.

dikkers said:I like this one because it works on a few levels, 5 fingers, high 5, the C, all integrated together.
@Smartenup, haha, classic! Way to settle the debate.

logomotive said: "I'm with you a_Lanevski For what it's worth I first thought of you and YOUR logo. I mean how many people would come up with that idea????"
...resemblances will always be there, as none of us discovered the ink.

Anyway, good work.
