Dayton Web Developers Meeting

ricardozea | Tue, 03/31/2015 - 18:20

Brief from client 

A logo that represents the web developers group in Dayton, OH. The palette is based on a very popular Sublime Text theme called Cobalt2. Sublime Text is one of the most if not the most popular IDE in the web development community.

We like to abbreviate the Dayton Web Developers group as DWD.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Stacked the name since it looked too long which I totally agree with (thanks @Shawali).

Removed the container since it made it into a huge blue box with gold outline when stacking the words.

(Sorry for extra posts, I'm learning to use these forums :] )

You've got a real keeper here. It's bold, clean, and clear cut.

Now that I look at it, there might be one small detail that kinda pokes me in the eye. The size of "dayton" is slightly smaller than the "web developers". It's in that sweet spot where it's neither small or big enough to be significant. See what I mean?

I do Shawali. I made the word 'Dayton' a bit smaller to try and convey dynamism to the logo and help accentuate the symbol on top of it. I tried making it the same size and/or color as 'Web Developers' but it looks so 'blocky'.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ho and why we're talking about small details, the distance between the symbol and "dayton" is smaller than the one between "dayton" and "web developers".

I know, I'm neat picking, but it's the kind of little details that can irritate my cornea =)

Man, you have some serious eye issues, but yet you see so well, lol. ><.

You are correct Sr! These logos are built on 'fast' mode where details like the ones you mentioned have not been addressed yet, like: kerning, 100% even lines thickness, am I doing straight angles or maybe add a bit of roundness to the angles? (the inner symbol has round angles but the blue and gold outlines don't) Dunno. Spacing between elements (leading).

Any small detail that's off and you keep seeing, please let me know, every note is very valuable to me.

Million Thanks man!.. blind man that is. lol
