Thoughts On This Logo?

if you are trying to display the CMA in a joint fashion then no, your logo doesnt do that. Also your logo looks really similar to one ive seen before. Whats the purpose of the dot?? Whats the purpose of the whole logo? The font used at the bottom is hard to read.

Sorry but the first thing I thought when I looked at this was a wiggly, single cell swimmer that comes from the male reproductive system.

:ROFLMAO: Crap. Back to the drawing board.

the top part looks like a boob with a squiggle. the font used for the name is really complex with a lot of shapes within it. the name is so long, it feels like a work to read thru it. it's hard to read a font with lots going on and there are just too many twists and truns not to mention the issues with kerning. that font looks better with a short word or just one word.

I thought "bike rack?"

the first thing I thought of was the CN logo and wondered what cute little way this logo would relate to the same railroad motif the CN logo represents.

I thought it was a girl lying on her back at the beach drinking a soda.

Alright, after really looking it over, does not come off as CMA ... comes off as OM with the O being a boob ... as in OM NOM NOM. heh. good if that is what you want. bad if you want to be anything else. My suggesstion, make it look like CMA as one big line, avoid the nipple eye thing and make sure that the design is a little bolder than what you have ... from a distance it looks like a bad hash mark. Either that or go completely custom, grab a brush and paint and go to town drawing CMA over and over again until you find one that is unique and stylized they way you want ... then vector and bobs your uncle, done.

Thanks for the feedback! I like posting things here long before I've put time into a bad idea. At this point I'm toying around looking for the "right" idea.

Now it looks like a geeky professor. Can I ask why you are so married to the idea of the single line?

Now you just toying with us. That's an ad for glasses, huh ?? For someone with two noses.

I'm not married to anything. These two attempts are thoughts on paper that I am now done with. Over. Dead & buried. Gone forever.

LOL - fair enough

One thing that I would suggest doing - and from experience I can tell you that it is insanely difficult with your own branding...

Try to seperate what you like from the equation. Think about who your target customer is, and then design based on what will appeal to them.

I'm having a pretty hard time. Here is a little background;
For some years now I've been doing artwork, logos, signs etc on the side. I pay taxes under the name of Caleb Maurice Artworks. However, I do not actually have a "business" name that I do any advertising with whatsoever. I figured I might as well use "Caleb Maurice Artworks", but I'm now thinking that may not be good. I really need to come up with a name. It's too long! I keep buying more equipment and doing more jobs and I don't even have a damn name to advertise with. My market is local small business. Basically I make shirts as a vehicle to up-sell them on quality press-ready artwork. Many businesses in my area don't realize their art is not even useable on a shirt. Anyway - I'm really stuck! I would love to come up with something with fresh appeal!

You very well may want to consider hiring this out. Philip Newel (Sign Amigo) does excellent work at a VERY reasonable price.
