Wow was not expecting a full page report on proper English. There's TON of so called XXX Investment out ther just google them. Guess not everyone is as well educated as you are.
You know, logomotive, I don't care how fantastic a designer you are -- and you are very talented -- that was uncalled for. People who react like you did have been referred to as having a %22diva%22 attitude. **I've seen you attack anyone here on LP who offers anything less than a starstruck comment on your work. So I certainly won't take it personally that you reacted that way. I will call you on it, and ask that you return to a state of professionalism in this conversation. If I mention technical or grammatical errors, that's called %22feedback.%22 And you, as a designer, need to be looking out for their branding image welfare, as a steward of best practices. At least, in my opinion. Take it as you will, disagree -- I don't care. But be a professional about it, and don't go for a low blow with me.
JF I don't need a lecture here OK. And as far as comments go that is a bunch of bull manuer, I've taken lots of critique here and there. A company can be called XX Investment period. It's just a name as in Make an investment with us or your investing in us, your investment. not just make investments with us. There are many blank_ Investment so called companies out there. I personally don't have a problem with that.
On an unrelated note... It is easy to get caught up in finding clever ways to include as many double meanings and symbols into a logo, but this one is successful not because of the N, M, graph, mountain, etc. but because it has the look and feel of an investment broker. Those other things make it impressive to insiders, but most people wouldn't even notice or care. So that is to say, great job with the clever stuff, and especially pulling it all together into something that works without needing to explain it.
Luma up there%5E hit the nail on the head. So many logo designers today are just looking to exploit clever gimmicks, regardless of whether or not their works actually communicate to their clients' target audiences. But this one is clever AND it works for its intended audience. Bravo!

ReplyBut I can see where your coming from.
ReplyThanks David. JF sorry for the bit of sarcasim, that was uncalled for on my part, but just a difference of opinion. An S can always be added I'm sure.

ReplyThanks for that, Logomotive%3B appreciated. And, I still like this graphic work%3B it works really well on a non-verbal level.
