Notes:

My entry for this competition. I have tried to work on the negative space in order to create a simple symbol that it comprised the letters “C” and “W”.

Different font and totally different icon. Using an initial(s) is no-brainer for this logo since the cient requested it, so there isn’t a problem because the icon isn’t even close to looking like another logo.

Just Added: I totally understand that they are logos with familiarity, but many iconic logos using just initials are all very similar.

When a client says they want something specific, it is a no-brainer; you’re not having to think “Wow, I wonder if the client might like initials?”

So I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be a no-brainer…they’ve handed us (the designers) an idea of a design element that they’d like to see incorporated—initials. Our job is to take that information and use it creatively.

I’m totally confused as to why it is an insult?

And really, all of these type of icons with slanted initials are Enron looking logos. None of them are that original, they are just positioned in the opposite direction than the Enron logo or the E in Dell’s logo. A few on here are very original.

Now on the other hand, I have seen several of Moon’s logos that are very unique where the icon/initials is a piece of art and not a font, and if some other artist on here were to emulate those likenesses, that would definitely be a no-no in my book and would border on plagiarism.

Also another thing to think about when commenting on here…..client’s know how to read. They are not blind. So before you write something, make sure you don’t mind if the client reads it. It may be the difference between getting a client or losing one.

i don’t think it’s a no brainer.. you are insulting some people’s intelligence and creativity right now. I hope you are not serious about the no brainer thing. And i did say it looks familiar, idea is the same, isn’t it? execution may be different. Actually, if it was a no brainer one, why should those designers come up with this one? are you saying that you are better than all of us? i have no problem with this logo, i just wanted to point out.. even toon said his was a bit familiar to mine. No harm done.. it’s just the no brainer thing that’s a bit disturbing right now.

Also, Moon, I wanted to invite you to join a design group that a lot of the members here belong to. If you use the same name most people will recognize you right away.

@Moon: i have just seen your logo (http://www.logosauce.com/logos/2047), and i think that in effects the concept base is the same one. I regret, but wasn’t in my intention to make a copy of yours. Moreover reading the comments at your post, i have seen that at the client doesn’t like this type of this type of implementation…so i have to change direction…

Pixo: it’s alright mate..i posted the link for you to see the logo and collin’s comment as well :) sorry for creating this mess on your logo page.

Cwilk: even if its the client’s request to use C and W, you still need to think about how to do it. Well if you still see it as a no brainer, then good for you. Creativity doesn’t just happens, it needs work and a lot of effort. Anywayzz.. thanks for the invite. I’ll check it out.
