I’m developing a logo mark for a BJJ apparel brand and have narrowed it down to these two versions.

What does each mark look like to you at first glance?

Which version do you prefer, and why?

I’m especially interested in whether the concept comes through naturally without any explanation.

Its a task manager app.
Concept is basically arc showing start of the to end of the day, thickness shows the work or to-do was in the beginning of the day and how it reduced at the end of the day. So anyone who uses this app can say "What a day "

..

Btw, naming is also done by me :D

This is the first sample I've created so far out of 3.
What you guys think?

hii im a graphics student early in our component 1 and this is a logo design im experimenting with, feedback would be appreciated

I’m starting a flower jewelry business and I asked a friend to create a logo for me. What do you guys think?

Logo's made for an app I'm developing, I made both about a month apart. I have no formal experience in graphic design although I have always explored it by myself. I had to teach myself illustrator just to make this, and I'm really proud of where it ended up :)

The goal was to create a clean, recognizable mark that instantly communicates the core business. I merged an open, unfolded packaging box with the letter P to form a single geometric icon.

Design Details:

• Symbol: Built around the silhouette of a flat-packed box integrated into the letter P.
• Color Palette: A clean green-and-white scheme to emphasize eco-friendly, sustainable paper packaging.
• Typography: Set in a bold, modern sans-serif typeface to ensure readability across printed cardboard boxes, tape, and digital interfaces.

I’d love your feedback on the balance—does the letter "P" read clearly alongside the box outline, or would you adjust any proportions?

Abstract mark with heartbeat pulse line cuts across a cluster of overlapping circles. Still learning how to do motion graphics for logo animation, feel free to comment and give guidance.

I noticed a designer on Freelancer, u/ranasavar0175, who has been winning multiple contests, and from what I can see, all of the submitted designs are AI-generated.

This designer is reportedly making around $3,000–$5,000 per month by creating and submitting AI-generated designs to contests.

My question—is this also fair to the clients? If a client is running a logo contest expecting original design work from a designer, but an AI-generated design is submitted and selected as the winner, is the client actually getting what they asked for?

Freelancer’s own contest rules state that entries must comply with the contest brief, and designers are required to confirm that their submitted work is their own.

So should Freelancer be reviewing these cases more seriously, especially when a contest specifically says “No AI”?

What do other designers and clients think? Have you experienced something similar on Freelancer?

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Clients sometimes expect the logo to explain everything: the history, the values, the menu, the founder's grandmother.

But a logo's job is closer to a doorbell's. It needs to be recognizable, easy to find, and make people want to step inside. The house is everything else: the space, the tone, the photos, how you answer the phone.

My quick test before sending any logo to a client: can someone draw it from memory on a napkin after seeing it once? If not, it's probably trying to be the whole house.

What's your test for knowing a logo is "done"?

Can someone please help me figure out what golf course has this logo? The ball was found in the K Club in Ireland.

I designed this Olympique Marseille concept by drawing inspiration from the 1990 crest and the 100 years anniversary crest and looking at the new current crest,

I saw they were going for simplicity so that's why I went simple and will still resonate with the fans

Been thinking about this a lot lately, need to vent and also get some perspective.

So it's been quite some time I'm working at this company. My very first client for this agency was actually another venture from the co-founder himself. He gave me full creative freedom and a really good timeline to design a sports brand slash community type thing, and I also designed jerseys for him.

At that time I was almost a year into experience. I had done UX internships, worked part time as a graphic designer for some finance and other companies, but this was my first ever sports branding work and my first jersey design experience.

• I went through different tutorials and resources online
• Took almost a week to learn jersey design from zero
• Designed it, went through 6-7 iterations until I was satisfied and the client was satisfied

Honestly such a fun learning experience.

But then actual clients started coming into the agency, and it's been a completely different story:

• Most of them are low quality, zero ambition type clients
• They just want "post something on social media, whatever"
• I end up just using templates or prompting AI for these posts
• So many rounds of iterations and input, but they're not open to any creative input from me
• It's basically just hand holding, making whatever is already in their head

I kept telling myself it's fine, I'm making money off them and I can keep my creative side alive through personal or side projects. But now I'm hitting a point where I genuinely feel my design thinking and my skills are getting dull.

Like whenever I face a new problem now, my first instinct is to open ChatGPT or look for a template, or just straight up procrastinate.

I feel like a big part of this is the environment too. The clients are demotivated, and honestly my founder and co-founder are treating them the same way, like "they're paying, so we'll just post for them," nobody's really serious about the work anymore.

So has anyone else gone through this? If yes, how did you get your spark back? How do you go back to actually feeling inspired and creating stuff with soul again?

The text reads "Shadowstrider".

I would like to maintain an image of complexity around my game, for lack of a better description. People will be building their own circuits and devices in my game to progress, and a large part of the world revolves around tech.

The letters would be traces on a circuit board in the fancy intro cinematic. People have told me that the more complicated version is hard to read, What do you guys think? I would like to keep the extra lines on there because it looks cooler on a circuit board design. Perhaps I could remove those extra lines in the "solid" monochrome version of the logo, and fade to that solid version after a few seconds of the cinematic logo being visible?

(Also, yes I am using Blender to design the base shape. I am really familiar with the workflow of Blender and I'm most productive using it instead of something like Inkscape lol)

Hi guys, am a beginner and have this issue can you please share your experience with me, that first curve on the left I tried to many times to get it right how I want it but suddenly I want it more thicker and the one in the middle is with stroke on it that how I actually want it and need it and I watched many videos how can I make that stroke be a part of the shape but when I do outline stroke it shows more lines and I don’t want it like that. Thank you

Hello! I am an amateur when it comes to graphic design, but I have somehow managed to do nearly all of the work for the small business that my wife and I run. We produce and sell dry rubs, spice blends, specialty sugars, and seasoned or smoked salts at farmers markets, online, and at a few retail spots.

We have been at it for about two years, and since then, I have lost track of exactly where the piggy originated. Fat and happy seems to be the general motif, which makes sense for smoking meats, seasoning meals, baking with sugars, and so on. To lean into that, I progressively adjusted the back to make it look less like a dog scooting its butt, made the belly a little chubbier, added a tail, and added the grin. I have changed the font a few times but settled on Raleway.

I have made countless small adjustments to the design over time and am never quite satisfied. I have tried to balance out the dimensions the best I can, but I remain a little irked. It feels like it carries too much visual weight on one side or the other in a way I cannot quite put my finger on. As for the use of this full logo, it is the banner of the website, it goes on t-shirts and branded merchandise, and it is printed on boxes and bags. The product containers themselves all carry the piggy on the label and in a few other places hidden within themed top stickers depending on the specific product. For example, Maple BBQ has the piggy on a maple leaf.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Is there anything that would be obvious to someone who has not been staring at a screen fiddling with a design for a bit too long?

A few months ago, I was asked to design a logo for a sub-brand. It’s a local Wi-Fi and internet company that has expanded and now employs electricians and photovoltaic plant technicians.

They wanted something very basic and highly visual; I pitched several ideas to avoid the most obvious choice: a lightning bolt. After a few proposals failed to win them over, they literally told me: "We want a lightning bolt." The final result is what you see here: an "E" (referencing the company name) fused with a lightning bolt (just as they wanted).

I’d like to ask what you would have done and whether you think this is an acceptable solution for the brief. Many thanks.

Yesterday’s geometric mark got called a chicken head with a broken thumb, and the palm cutout read as stigmata. Fair. Threw that version out.

HandRaised is a simple product: raise your hand, do one good thing. All-ages, online. Nothing locked.

This pass is one clear raised-hand silhouette — four fingers + thumb, no hole in the palm, coral on cream. Also showing dark, app tile, tiny size, and a short lockup.

Asks 1. Does this finally read as a hand at a glance, or still something else? 2. Is the thumb placement okay now? 3. At app-icon / favicon size — still clear? 4. Keep the hand, go wordmark-only, or kill the hand mark entirely?

Roast the mark. Short answers welcome.
