Default Working on my Logo

Hello there, I'm working on a logo for my Portfolio, but have a hard time deciding which to choose, or if I even made the right one yet. I've made 4 that could be used, but what do you think?

- Personal favorite.

- Not sure about this one, maybe some color and font tweaking?

- I think this is pretty good, but not sure if people will get it, and if the colors are good.

- This was made rather fast, not sure what I think yet.

I like them all. The first and the last one are my favorites. I like that colors too. Nice work.

I like the first and second ones the best. #3 is confusing, you're right, and #4 is sorta cliche (especially the floor reflection).
Try fooling around with #2 more, I think that's my favorite general concept and font. good job!

The first one is the best attempt in my opinion, and certainly they all work. Really it Depends on what you would want your Brand Image to be, the first one is unique. The outer or inner glow really brings it together, it has a mysterious elegance to it. Even though the strokes are clean and straight forward its very GQ.Possibly some variation on your full name font treatment, however personally I wouldn't change a thing.

I like the first one, but i would make ur bottom name in all caps or something so it looks more centered like the initials or all lower case maybe with two different colors .

I like the first one, very impactful and straight forward

I love the graphic created with the D and B, that could work really well on it's own too, just not too sure about the rest of the logo - maybe try variations on the type.

I also like the idea behind number three, but I think it looks a little too much like an actual number 3 and could be difficult to read if the others were'nt around as a clue!

All in all great designs!

Thanks for all the comments, very useful.

I've decided to go with #1, just need to do some font tweaking, as some of you mentions. I will post some various versions soon, to get your opinion on what works best.

spoongraphics: Indeed, I could easily see it as a logo without the text underneath, that's why I also think it will work out great.

Excatly, that's what I heard from others, as well. I've tried to mess around with it for quite some time, but not getting any satisfying results.


And again, thanks. Really some quality response, one actually can use to something

Okay, 4 new, made out from #1.



- #1

- #2

- #3

- #4


I think #2 is the one that works best, but it has various size, because it's not all-cap, so not sure if that's gonna work?

i'm glad you're leaning to this logo!
i like #2 as well, but there's a general inconsistency.
your db logo has tails in the middle, but in #2 the lowercase text does not.
not sure if this is an issue to me, but seems to seperate the logo from the text a bit, stylistically.
additionally, if you use uppercase, the same inconsistency exists.

of course, it only matters if it matters to you
