Please review this new logo design website

Hi - if you want your website critiqued then this is the right area for your post. However, we do advise you to comply with the posting agreement that you saw before making this post - you'll have to review at least three other sites first. You will get more replies if you comply with these guidelines.

Or - if you want to advertise your website - then the Market Place on this forum is the place to do it. If this is the case, then the moderators will move your post.

Absolutely beutiful. Your logo samples are... gorgeous, I have photoshop, and couldn't do that if my life depended on it. Your logos are wonderful, but they aren't numerous, nor are they requested by the custumer, which is one of your site's weak points.

The fact that your clients may only choose from a library of pre-designed logos isn't helpful. You need to offer custumers the satisfaction of talking directly with the designer, exchangin ideas, and sharing info. If you can do this, I am sure your business venture will be a fruitful one.

I also have a slight problem with your color choices, the site is too green; green buttons, green descriptive text, green page text... enough green! Change the colors around and experiment a little, then come back and post the site for further inspection.

I just noticed I have written enough reviews to request on of my own, YEAH!

EDIT: Fix this grammatical error on one of the pages;

Hi ptrferdinand,

Thanks for the grammar check geez ... we'll need to fix that one.

Regarding color choice - I wouldn't say there is too much green. In fact, if you take a closer look we used much more blue/gray color. Green was supposed to freshen everything up a little bit.

If you check our network - designgalaxy.net, designload.net and procartoonz.net...all of them are pretty colorful, but none of them used green. Also that's why we decided to use some green color at logomaid...to make it different...while still maintaning the same style.

We'll are adding 10 new logotypes per day at this moment and we are planning to go up to 25 logotypes per day within next 2 months. Of course, these logos are not for everyone..but we are offering customization services as well and also actual exclusive logo creation.

Awaiting more comments

wow! really well done ... nice design AND also very nice code! VALID XHTML using CSS layout ... great! I would only suggest using variable font size (%).

madeo

Hi,

yes, valid xhtml gotta be

Right, we are still solving the fonts as at linux and mac it seems to cause tiny problems. We were thinking about detecting platforms using javascript, not sure though. 96dpi mac/linux fonts sucks.

Any idea how to make flash source valid xhtml?

designload.net is valid xhtml as well, we are finishing designgalaxy.net...will be 100% valid later today

Uh, I'd advice you to get better watermarks, I took all of them off of some of your logos to show you how weak your watermarks were:

Get watermarks that cover the entire logo, not this weak one.

Hi Pete,

If you are a good designer you could remove any watermark from that simple vector logotype. It uses just few colors, so it's pretty simple. However more complicated logos with many different colors can be ripped harder.

We needed to find a good compromise between protection and people still able to see the logo quality. If we used larger or darker watermark people could complain they do not see exactly what they are buing .

Also, when someone rippes it he cannot do much with it as he doesn't get the hi res layered format or expandable corel file.

Thanks for you comments....

Cheers,
Jan

I know what you mean, but this is not what I am saying, if you could add a lighter watermark that covered the entire thing, you wouldn't have to worry about this.

Yes, but if the watemark would cover the whole logo...the users won't see the actual logo quality.

The main point is, we got all logotypes registered with c-site. This way also, when someone recreates any of these logos, we can contact c-site regarding that..and they'll do what they have to do.

We were selling logo designs at designgalaxy.net as well, some time ago. There for example, we didn't use watermarks for thumbnail logo images. Kind of funny..some people downloaded these small images and were selling them in large value packs....but those logos were no use when just 1x1 inch.

We'll this will remain questionable...as large watermark could effect our sales...but when watermark smaller, someone could try to misuse it. Everything has two sides I guess.

Ya, you're logos are hot. Good site all around. Personally I think your logo needs to pop more on the page, but that's just me...

If we used really cool logotype..someone might say something more simple would be better . So, you know...we cannot satisfy everyone..I know that.

Kind of wanted to make the LogoMaid text visible so people recognize it and remember it. I think the font is pretty good..kind of classy...

Do you take custumer logo requests? If so, how much would that cost? Can I purcahse a similar service from your site?

Hi,

Yes, we do custom logos as well. It's not as "cheap" as the unique logos in our collection.

We charge $300 for logo design proposal with unlimited revisions or 5 logo proposals with unlmited revisions for $500.

Jan

Well, have you had any experience with making logos for anime sites? I am in need of one for my site... Oh, also, how did you know my name?

good site but i would put the green navigation buttons down the left hand side. Hey and if you can make them into actual buttons.

Hi,

checked your nick and kind of thought it could be pete

If possible, just email us at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do. If possible, attach a sample design (anime style you like) so we see what exactly are you looking for.

Buttons - yes, we'll make them fully clickable this week.

Jan

The site is nicely layed out and even though it is heavy on graphics it still loads quite quickly.

Not too sure about the green buttons etc.. though.

Overall it look and good and navigation is ok.

Okey, great site. Comments:

A tad slow, then again this is respectable for a site offering images
The logos are good so well done.

But all in all gorgeous.
