Any want some Illustrator work?
 
I have not been around much lately but it is because life has gotten BUSY!! After this month I am hoping that it will all calm down... I hope!!

Anyway I am in the need for some help. My school needed a new logo which I made, and now they want to have it printed BUT I don't feel that it is finished yet. It does not "feel" right if you know what I mean? Here is a jpg version... I am almost embarrassed to post it but what the hell, we're all friends right??

Anyway I have a small budget to get this reworked and I found a few places online BUT before I had over funds to strangers I wanted to come here first. If you are good with Illustrator and have some free time PM me or reply here whatever just let me know. Did I mention that this has a short time line, but it does pay (either PP or I will pay you in sticks if you want :) )

Anyway I just wanted to put it out there to you all.

What are you looking to have done to it? Does it just need vectorized or you looking at a redesign? And how short is a short time line? :)

I think it looks good the way it is personally. I often find that work i do in photoshop feels "unfinished" to myself too, because i'm too self critical, but other's say it's great. In the case of your logo, I think it looks good to go. My 2 cents

This may be true you know, the principal liked it, the school board liked it... everyone but me!!

Maybe all I need is to have it vectorized.

Any other thoughts?

The only thing that looks a little off to me is red thing in the corner. Is it supposed to be a sword hilt that is there to make the blue circle look like a Q? Just kind of looks like it's layered odd. Other than that think it looks good.

I see what you mean. It is an inukshuk and it was supposed to make the circle look like a drum.

Never thought about making the whole think look like a Q... cool

Sorry here is the type of drum I am talking about, just so you all can see.

Q works with the name though. Think it looks sharp.

I like the idea of it being a Q, I just wasn't sure what the object was supposed to be. And to me, the area where the circle and object meet just looks a little off. Like it was just plopped on top of it rather than it's supposed to be there.

I think it looks totally awesome, Craig.
I do a lot of that stuff and I'm as critical of myself as you are of yourself.
Is the yellow thing in the center a frame made of bones? Like for a eskimo hut?
If so, maybe it could turn like this?

Having a straight Qarmark (Thule house) it makes the drum stand out more to me.

Good eye brother

LOL - I first thought it was a stylized "Q" that stood for the name! I never ever thought it might be a drum. ;)

I like the whole design as it stands; you possibly could clean-up the edge between the drum and the handle, just a tad... :tu


:dance:

I am in the middle of a move but if you have no takers I can turn it into an AI file for you in a week or so. I can appreciate the intricacies of the symbolism, from the drum to the inukshuk. :)

I have AI, but the resolution is so low I didn't know if I could make it bigger and have it look like anything.
Got any tips?
