Okay, I'll give ya some constructive criticism then.

Don't make the logo so textured. Keep it a nice smooth simple design.

Use a different text, you cant read that one too well. And don't use that dark of a red on that dark of a background.

Just keep it simple, the more simple the better, you want a logo people will remember and recognize. If they cant even read what it says or make out what it is it will be easily forgettable.

And since your just starting, if you keep at it, you will improve a lot... trust me. Just start experimenting with all the tools, read some tuts, look up some logo inspiration and you will make one 100 x better than the one shown.


Also, what version of PS do you have??? You should defiantly update to CS3 if you haven't.

If you don't have the cash to shell out, Torrents are your friend. ;)

Ok, so keep it black and change the font color.


It's not like I haven't seen record companies with record logo's that aren't black, though.

You'd have to be inept to not notice it's a record just by the lack of black coloring.

there is an art forum for feedback.

this logo needs work.

are you doing in 300 dpi. doesnt look like it. also the maroon font really needs to go. I dont even get the design or concpet. I think you are making it too complex. I think you should change the font as well.

Im not feelin how you took a pic of a record and added a really bad filter to it as well.

keep it simple man.
