Description:
This logo was created for a MMA (MixedMartialArts) Gym. One of my best friends and Urijah Faber (Hall of famer fighter) own this gym and are changing the name to Uriah Fabers' Ultimate Fitness. The UF is placed in an octagon in which the fighters fight in. Also the UF represents both Urijah Faber AND Ultimate Fitness. I cannot see for the life of me why they have not grabbed the perfect logo. Frustration here.Maybe a little help from other designers opinions will help sell the work.;-)

Mike, once again, I looked up all your work.*The great designer logo!
ReplyThanks mavrin, you got some nice stuff mate.
ReplyMaybe they've been hit around the head to much! %3B) Great logo, they should really go with this, communicates very well. :)
ReplyThanks Neil, he (Urijah) is one bad hombre, he's the one knocking their heads about LOL.
ReplyMike, I don't like to find fault in your work because your work is flawless. But since you asked, here are my thoughts: Maybe it's not bold and brash enough or too static. I see a stop sign which could be negative. Also a face that reminds me of one of your lion logos. Other than that it's genius... you hate me now don't you?
ReplyMike, I have long been involved in logo, but I have to learn what you have. Thank you!**Alex
ReplyNOT at All Roy, I love your comments. My thoughts,..Stop Sign can be good also and a positive thing by means of it all stops here (pure toughness).*2. Lion is the King of Beasts. It does remind me of that also, but thanks for the compliment and critique that's what I asked for %3B-) perhaps I can give it a grunge/distressed filter?
Replydont they also fight mainly in octagons too?... **but who am i to get in the way of a Roy %26 Mike conversation about logo design... oh look.. crayons!
ReplyMike, the only thing I see that could use adjustment is maybe keeping the hard corners on the octagon to go with the chiseled corners of the lettering. Currently, they seem to be rounded and appear too soft. **I'm not sure a grunge filter is the answer. I think that would just distract from an otherwise well-designed piece. Nice job.*
Reply@nido LOL, yo yeah an octagon is the main cage they fight in whenever there not coloring with crayons.*Smartinup thanks, not sure what is meant by static but I just felt it had a masculine and strong feel to it and that was enough but see that one might want more %22action%22?*Thanks Leighton, the reason I did that, oh yeah gotta have a reason right? Is that the bars in the octagon are padded and look like this %3B-) but your idea might give it more of a sharper edge to compliment the type and UF better. Cheers this all helps and I appreciate your views.*
Replysmartinup LOL UF or GD just got it %3B-)
