Branding

[999]

Howdy, I'm working on Branding our fine site here, and would like your 2 cents, as this is as much my site as it is yours <br><br>Here's what I've come up with thus far. I haven't really *sat* down and knit-picked at them, so just remember they're a little rough:<br><br><br><br>Now, I like the "Cube" matrix thing, but I'm not sure about the dots inside of it, I do think it needs a little something though, so I had a go with the dots.<br><br>The Font for PocketMatrix has grown on me, and I think it suits us here. We're not straight-laced business peeps, so the traditional Brighthand Helvetica Bold has been nixed from my font selection <br><br>Color wise, I build everything in photoshop to give me perfect complimentary color combinations with the aide of a simple slider. I do like blue, but am open to anything.<br><br>Last modification: 999 - 06/14/01 at 17:18:34

It reminds me of Gameboy, especially since the release of the Advance (there is a transparent purple model available). That isn't a bad thing.<br><br>Check this out- with the dots in that lower right corner, the remaining empty squares form a "P". I'm sure you did that on purpose- or at least subliminally.<br><br>I am never crazy about purple, but the greenish-yellow-gold is a good complimenting color. In this case it works very well.

Oh, now let me comment about the design.<br><br>It's simple, clean, unique and easy to look at. Everything you need in branding, so it's working in that aspect.<br><br>The font conveys "fun".<br><br>Damn... I kinda wish I had something bad to say. This makes me feel like a kissass.<br><br>Let's talk about that red jumpsuit and mustache...

Randall:<br><br>Thanks for the feedback.<br><br>Regarding the "P" in the cube pattern. I had no clue I made it a resemble a "P". When placing the dots, I realized they looked better in the south-west box, but didn't question why. If I were a low life back-stabbing LosAngeles yuppie designer, I'd say that's what I intended to do <br><br>I think I'll work on making that P a little more prominent, perhaps I'll rework the dots into another shape, but overall, I want to keep your "P" suggestion.<br><br>

Cool. The font is very nice and the colors work very well with the logo.

[RavenRay]

yes, the colors do complement them selves.  When you come up with the design, I would like to see how the progress is going.  Even if it's just a test.

Nice coincidence, but I'd like to think their version could use a lot more polishing <br><br>

IMHO, don't really like the colors.  Looks like somebodies a big Packard fan.  But then again, I don't watch sports.
