My newest logo concept:

--------------------

Here are a few quick logo concepts for my new brand "Ugmonk." Thanks for the input everyone. I am in the very beginning stages of establishing my branding/logo, but I wanted to get some feedback from everyone.

My brand will be very similar to the style of tees in my profile: clean, vector, geometric, designs. I am probably going to incorporate some typography tees as well.

one or four!
I think I'd like four the best if I understood the significance of the water droplet

Actually I changed my mind. I just looked at the work you've posted on Emptees and judging by your style #2 suits your line best.

But as said below I'd fix the kerning a bit.

1.
faithbydesign said about 1 month ago

#2 but you need to work on your kerning. It looks a little too smashed, specifically the m,o & n.

Thanks. Seems pretty divided so far. Like I said, these are just my first quick concepts, so if they need more tweaking or I can scrap these and come up with other logos.

i also like 3. it looks very organic, dont know if thats what you were going for.
awelcomeflood said about 1 month ago

Does #2 remind anyone else of the buzznet logo? It kind of has that vibe too it. I think that one is the best.
LitoQ said about 1 month ago

none of them particularly scream "ugmonk" to me, if that makes any sense, but of the four I like 1 the best
heythequickness said about 1 month ago

I think 2 reminds me too much of incase.
Quest said about 1 month ago

love that first one!
heythequickness said about 1 month ago

I vote 1 and 3.

2 reminds me a little of the fresh and easy logo, that new chain of "organic" grocery stores by wal mart

i think the leaf type thing looks the best, but its not the most original. so I say number 4
cbass99 said about 1 month ago

sheldon, 2 looks too much like a lot of these "green" companies that are forming. Look here about half way down for the "leaf" design trends 2008. I like 4 the best. It would be cool to see if you could get all of the letters cut somehow like you have the N and K.
1 is nice too. Anyway, good job.

2 or 4

I say #1, maybe try kerning #4 like #2
jsheldon said about 1 month ago

Thanks for all the feedback! It's definitely good to bounce these ideas off of someone else.

I think I will push these a little further and maybe come up with a few more. I am not completely satisfied with any of them yet. I am trying to be very picky in these early branding stages, so I don't end up hating my logo in a few months.

I'd say 4 because it is the most legible
RikkiB said about 1 month ago

1 for me.
the others seem a bit too logos 2.0 :)

2... just change the leaves to separate it from the rest
volatile v said about 1 month ago

two is the bomb
quixotic said about 1 month ago

1 or 2. ...maybe 4.

but they have great deals. i can eat really well for about 30 bucks a week shopping there.

oh, i like number 4
sockmonkee said about 1 month ago

for your current style of tees you've uploaded i'd def. go w/ 2...but i kinda like 1.

since most like 1,2, and 4, i think you should elaborate more on them and see what comes out.

yeah, I think I will push them a little more to see what I can come up with.

Thanks again everyone for sharing your opinions. The favorites seem pretty mixed but all for different reasons.

1 for me, I've seen no 2 for a few things like health food stores and enviro. products.

As you said:
Robert Ottinger said about 1 month ago

As you have it right now #2 is the strongest. I think the first is cool without the box! But like sandlin said kepp playing with it they will only get better!

check out these logos/fonts from Bionic_Systems:

...maybe they will help somewhow : )
anthony ryan said about 1 month ago

actually i think of mac life's logo when i see # 2
jsheldon said about 1 month ago

I've been working on this some more and cam up with this one that I am fairly happy with.
LitoQ said about 1 month ago

I like the new one best...
GianniR said about 1 month ago

they've all got good style.
jimiyo said about 1 month ago

aye. i like the new one.

i never said anything, but cool fonts are awesome, but as an identity, if its hard to read maybe no so good. this one i can read.
Ameeee said about 1 month ago

I'm with jimi! I like :)
captiveclothing said about 1 month ago

i like this one best

I challenge you to come up with something better than Ugmonk. It definitely stands out like everyone has said but saying it out loud (and with consumer pride for that matter) is difficult.
But in any case I'd push the typography like you did with number 4 by sheering bits off or knocking shapes out of the 'O'. But since Ugmonk doesn't mean shit it's kind of hard to figure the best way to go about that. Maybe change the spelling to UGMUNK. All the letters are similar except the O which, to me, throws off the balance of the type. Change it to a U and you've got continuity and consistency with that font.

2 has the most character.

3 (grey on white)
jsheldon said about 1 month ago

Thanks everyone. Your input is very helpful.

I do like #2 but I am feeling that the leaf shape may be a little to mainstream and overused for a logo right now. I use that shape in some of my designs, but I think for a logo I want to steer away from that and have something a little more unique.

I understand what you are saying, but I am going to stick with "Ugmonk" and maybe experiment with a "u" instead of an "o."

I didn't just use a standard typeface, I drew the letters in Illustrator.
