I like the way it looks and its simplicity but I do agree that it looks very similar to the ‘A’ in the ‘EA’ logo:

And the Academy of Art University logo:

Not to take credit away from you, Anthony, just an observation. Nice work though!

Does anybody else see the Academy of Art University logo here? It’s pretty close. Just underline it and it matches.

Sick turnout Tony. I know you had a ton of drafts prior to this one…can’t possible see you having a stronger identity for yourself. Cheers!

Personally I think this logo is beautifully simple and works really really well.

I don’t associate it at all with EA/Adobe – It’s a great, recognizable identity.

5 out of 5.

TR, this is hardly adobe. Thanks.

Actarus, I am aware of EA, and it hadn’t even crossed my mind until 2 months after me designing this. I think they can stand apart as this isn’t the EA logo, and has nothing to do with video games, and isn’t even in the same realm. Thanks though.

I am not sure why this logo got such negativity as I really like it. The simple design is nice and bold and the concept is not overly clever so the point isn’t missed while the A shape has an original form. Great logo.

Nice but it’s exactly the same “A” as EA games

Lovin’ it! Great use of form and negative space. Always loved these simple yet poignant examples of logo design. Think of how easily translatable this is to so many media/materials. Well done.

A really clear execution of a monogram with negative space. Nice!

The use of negative space for the “L” makes the logo what it is. Nice.

I am delighted with such a compound letters “A” & “L”. Although not immediately noticed letter “L”.

The name is not always neccessary. Since now I know and will remember that this is AL-designer Probably I will remember his last name too in connection to the logo.

Just put the name in it as well, and it would look much better.

I think this logo is great. Is simple and easily recognizable, memorable, applicable in all mediums. To summarize is an effective logo.

I like it but I’d like to see it with the “Anthony Lane” text.

I won’t say that this is an awesome logo, but a nice concept though.
