The next thing that happened changed my personal branding forever. I accidentally turned the letter “C” on it’s side. Something clicked, and the ideas started flowing. After a few more hours messing around, I came up with my personal logo. I’m super proud of it, and heck, it even won a Logo of the Day award!

Mayer Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:39:13 +0000 http://logooftheday.com/?p=1696#comment-4473 I like the design, and I think it's a great logo for a designer... of men's clothing. I think the issues is that the tie is such a strong element that it leads the viewer to assume that it conveys the meaning of the entire design, rather than being simply a supporting element. (The writeup also needs editing.) I like the design, and I think it’s a great logo for a designer… of men’s clothing.

Looking at the logo I would think he has something to do with clothing. A logo should be simple, memorable, and unique, but also should be appropriate. I agree with UmYeah.

Very effective. A logo does not literally need to display one's specialty or craft to be successful: how many serious clients base their hiring decision on whether a designer's logo visually represents design? Could they not find Chris' icon clever and different and that it separates him from other designers - or at least makes him memorable? We don't know. So let Chris develop his own personal style.

Not a thing. That is unless Chris is in the dry cleaning business or rents tuxedos. It's creative, beautiful, and even cute, but not appropriate at all for a designer -- that is unless he designs business clothes for men. My suggestion would be to quit trying to be so different that you forget about what you do. Think in terms of your location or your business-focus -- your specialty -- instead of trying to be so unique that it makes no contextual sense. This would be a great logo for a dry cleaner, a clothier/tailor, or someone working in mens fashion. But for a designer? I'm not seeing the context. Pick something unique about yourself or your work and try to come up with a metaphor or simile for that context. Even a unique, hand-drawn type treatment would make more sense than a generic user icon wearing a suit. What does this logo tell people about what Chris does for them? Not a thing.

I also really like the font that he chose, it fits with the icon great.
