I'm never happy with my logo. Keep changing every other month I swear haha but here's one that hopefully I can stick with! Tried to be a bit creative with making the "A" s for an "M". Dunno, thoughts?

I personally think it would look cleaner without the A's like that.

just food for thought.

it'd look better if the A's were somehow different, just looks duplicated. Good effort though

Mhm yea, I get the idea. Would look better without the subtext imo.

Eh, it's alright but I've seen better. The two shapes, below the shape the points aren't touching together. Needs some work personally.

I would only make 1 a with that abstract font. The last A I would make a regular A

Looks too much. The top bit is quite sufficient for a logo.

The entire design appears to be loose and awkwardly flat.
Now in reference to flat i do not mean the style of design; I mean it appears to be deflated, loose, lacking in sorts.
Beyond the simple errors (connecting points, overlaps and angles) the kerning of the text to shape ratio is really off.
The amount of dead space is disturbing, if you wish to continue with the shapes used i would find or make a font to best match the shapes.
As your font is a fat thin and wide font while the shape is a relatively full vertical design.

Use C.R.A.P to help you design a logo.


C. - Contrast: Contrast refers to any difference of size, shape, color, or weight. This is the element of design that sets parts of your image apart.

R. - Repetition: This refers not to the copying of text or renders but the continuous use of a theme or element throughout your design.

A. - Alignment: The alignment refers to the way parts of your design are laid out and the subliminal line-work that only your subconscious notices (unless you've trained your conscious to see it), that is the subtle but important key element.

P. - Proximity: This refers to the pieces of information that are meant to complement each other should be near each other. This is where you change the layout to make sense to with the message you are trying to get across.

Thank you very much for this. I will certainly take this advice on board for future designs!

Don't really want to repeat everything that was already said, so I'll just say.. If you've got yourself an iconic logo, I would not implement the same shapes into the text. It's too repetitive and ruins the balance.
