Now that's how you do a logo with film. Nice to see a fresh taken on something being overdone. Bravo!

Great job!

I'd lose the vertical pole. I know it's there for the carousel horse...but not needed IMO

great it has own atmosphere ...

NeilMcDonald said on Nov. 13 '09

Really nice! I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism? The typeface is great, but I feel the 'M' is out of proportion in comparison to the 'C'. It looks huge, I think its the overshoot where the two crossbars meet that's not working. I wondering if the 'M' could be decreased in size to match the majority letters and the 'A' at the end of 'media' could be increased to match the large 'C', I'm thinking this would give a much better balance overall.

Also the horses all share the same look, if the left and right horses were given an extended run, i.e. front legs and hind legs extended in front of and behind the body it would relate much better to the tradition of a zoetrope. If the logo was ever animated, this would allow a moving horse as the film turns, and further increase the concept and really bring it home.

Sorry... overshoot where the two *strokes meet

pjmaster said on Nov. 14 '09

Another excellent logo from you.

square69 said on Nov. 14 '09

Thanks again everyone for your nice comments and floats :)
@logoboom...thanks for your suggestion. I did try a version without the pole but was a little unsure about it. I will go back again and see how i feel about it.
@NielMcDonald...thanks so much for you thoughts, you raise some very valid points. I can't get back on this for a day or so, but will get a new version posted asap.

Thanks Muamer...it was your wondeful cinema cafe and my daughters toy carousel that gave me the inspiration for this...guess I owe you a drink :)
