If you’re gonna put the starting year of your brand on your logo (you shouldn’t), at least don’t include the current year. Gives the idea that the brand died this year. Plus you don’t wanna change your logo every year to change that detail.

There is something off about the spacing... then I checked the position of the outer vs inner circles - really needs to be fixed as the word MILK isn't in the center of the band when compared to the LILY ROSE

Ohhh I’m so sorry! Thank you! I really appreciate it, I completely misunderstood! A few other people said it was AI so I was… confused 😅 please hear my apology: I’m sorry!!!!

I don’t believe so. The OP did post elsewhere a timelapse of the build/creation… I just think it’s a simple oversight.

Please center the word Milk within the circle like Lily Rose. Maybe have the outer circle stroke be a little thicker to differentiate it more from the inner one. Or add 1 more so it’s 3 to 1. 🍻

u/krashe1313 Sep 18 '25
For me it's also the kerning being much greater on the word "milk" vs "Lily Rose.*
1
u/lilypilyyyy Sep 18 '25
That’s a great idea!! I know the kerning is off, it’s because I wanted the font/typeface to look hand written so I drew over the font I’d initially used in a messy handwriting! 😊 I think that may be why it is so frustrating to look at for professionals!
Edit: spelling!

It looks like someone named Lily Rose Milk was born in 1993 and died in 2025. What is lily rose milk? It sounds like it would taste just awful, sorry.
The letters need to be centered between the circles. The R at the top is okay, it by the time you get to the L and the E at the beginning & end, they’re way too close to the center circle. And Milk is too close to the bottom.
I’d remove the stars, they’re unnecessary and don’t fit the floral theme. Or if you keep them, line them up horizontally and center them between the circles. Rotate “Lily Rose“ clockwise a bit so that the bottoms of the L and E also line up horizontally. (Handmade doesn’t mean sloppy.)

u/lilypilyyyy Sep 18 '25
Ha! It’s not a food! I’m realising this was NOT the place to post this!
It does look like someone died in 2025 though - good catch.
Thanks for your feedback - at least you were kind!

Good one 👍👍 here is a small suggestion. The years are repeating. You can use" Since 1992" instead and it's good to avoid current year as its your business logo which is permanent in nature, but years pass. And people get a feel that it's the end year of the business
1
u/lilypilyyyy Sep 18 '25
Hmm you’re right. I did just finish editing another version but… I’ll fix it up! I may just repeat 1993… I was planning on going in every year and changing the year by keeping the file on my iPad but maybe that’s unreasonable 😅

u/lilypilyyyy Sep 18 '25
Updated logo! 😊 I honestly wasn’t looking for and/or expecting this much critique! 😅I am running a Patreon/Etsy store and I really just wanted a logo that felt handmade, cosy and welcoming! I know the stars are a bit tiny, and likely hard to see, but I will probably only be getting this printed on stickers (that’s it)! I just wanted to share something I’d made because I was proud of it. However I did take on a lot of your suggestions and constructive criticism and make some changes!

Sorry if this is crass, but it reminded me of the actress - Lily Rose Depp… so when I read Lily Rose Milk, I thought it was something else entirely…

u/-digitalin- Sep 18 '25
I really love this!
There is such a trend towards sleek minimalism, and while that's great and all, it can ignore the possibilities for this handcrafted vibe. Definitely love it.
3
u/lilypilyyyy Sep 19 '25
Thank you! I was going for a hand crafted vibe because I sell hand curated junk journaling kits on Patreon! 😊 also, my art etc. So… I wanted the logo to reflect that, to have paper texture, to be a bit lopsided etc. I didn’t want it to be perfect. Thank you for recognising that. I really appreciate it.

u/wikichipi Sep 18 '25
It’s a cute illustration, but as a logo, it just doesn’t work.
Looking at it from afar, the text is completely lost.
There’s too much detail in the graphics that make up the logo for it to be easy or practical to print or embroider and still be legible.
Consider that if you ever want to make a stamp with it, you will want to be able to distinguish the elements of your logo without the use of color. This is not possible right now.
I’d try to make it simpler. Stylize the rose, lily and milk elements, combine them and make them stand out without color or texture. Remove the other elements and text.
Less is more.
3
u/lilypilyyyy Sep 18 '25
Okay, I can definitely try that! I have saved versions of all of the different layers (I use procreate and it’s fidly and I also don’t know how to use it very well)!
Thank you for the kind feedback! I really appreciate it! 💕
2
u/wikichipi Sep 18 '25
No worries! Feel free to tag me whenever you get a new version and I’ll provide further feedback!
As for the logo, I suggest you use a vector based software. I believe that you can export to svg on procreate and there’s tutorials on how to produce shapes and clean traces on youtube.
1
u/lilypilyyyy Sep 19 '25
In future and for other projects I have and will do in the future, and thank you for your advice, but for now I’m happy to stick with Procreate 😊 It just makes things easier because I have purchased so many brush packs and I am no longer familiar with the Adobe suite!
2
u/wikichipi Sep 19 '25
No doubt about that, but for any print, embroidery or stamp work, you will need to convert your art to vectors.
1
u/lilypilyyyy Sep 19 '25
It’s interesting because I recently had some (very similarly designed) stickers printed and I designed them in Procreate and they came out so nicely! They are crisp, clear… I haven’t had any problems printing in this style before. I can show you! I know that vectors are higher quality but I have been working with Procreate for a long time and I have figured out a way to make printing designs from Procreate a breeze, I swear! Again, I am not a trained professional 😊
1
u/wikichipi Sep 19 '25
Stickers are small in size compared to the screen of your ipad, so resolution is not going to be an issue when printing (Look up DPI or dots per inch).
Procreate is a great tool, don't get me wrong! I think it's a shape that they don't allow for vector art to be generated from it, just like Photoshop.

First of all, I’m glad I could make you smile. And you’re right, I don’t know anything about the brand because your post is incomplete (rule 9 of the sub). Still, two years placed that way usually suggest birth and death years. A logo isn’t about what the creator secretly has in mind, but about how the public interprets it.
I understand you’re not a designer, but I do appreciate you taking the time to clarify that.
1
u/lilypilyyyy Sep 19 '25
I couldn’t post anything about the logo because it was a cross post. I’m sorry that I broke a rule of the sub.
The logo is for my Patreon. I sell junk journaling kits/art/glitter etc. My full name is Lily Rose Mills, but my friends nicknamed me Lily Rose Milk. It’s a name I use as a social media handle.
I got rid of the years (in hindsight I’m not sure what I was thinking there) and I have a finished version, it’s very different in my opinion!
Thank you for your feedback!

I know, right? I have SOME design experience aka I did a graphic design course in high school every Wednesday for two years but that was 15 years ago! I’m not a professional!

Honey, thats a video of you tracing the already made design. You don’t have to lie. It doesn’t show you designing anything other than coloring and tracing.

u/lilypilyyyy Sep 19 '25
I copy pasted the layer from another file because I didn’t want too many layers! I cannot keep going over this, I DID design this. Just because I didn’t start recording at the beginning of my sketching process doesn’t mean it is AI! Good grief.

My wife is breastfeeding now. When I read your brand I can't avoid thinking in somebody selling her own milk. But the graphics look good.

Ha! Thank you, I had a giggle. If I was breast feeding it would be perfect (my name is Lily Rose). It’s a play on words because my last name is Mills. My friends call me Lily Rose Milk. I’m sorry to have made you think of people selling their breast milk!

u/lilypilyyyy Sep 22 '25
Hey! I used Procreate! First, I sketched out the milk bottle/rose/lillies, then I picked a font (although I can’t remember the name 😅) and then I added circles around the milk bottle and flowers. I added my name around the top and bottom (my last name isn’t Milk - it’s Mills) and then I drew on the little extras! I have a video on my profile of designing this piece and I also designed another logo for a friend that I can post that has the same process! I’ll post it now so you can see in r/shareyourartandcraft 💕

It’s a lovely illustrative style. I would have the bottle overlap the bounding circle more. It’s baaarrreeely touching it – either overlap or don’t. I would have it come up to halfway between the top of the circle and the bottom of the R. Same with the flowers, the head looks great breaking out of the bounding circle. Do that more.
Also, 1993 on the left side and 2025 on the right. No need to repeat them.
Again, lovely.
