Brief from client
Create a television channel that represents Horror, action, scifi, and drama. Something aggressive but at the same time in respect to something "TVish". Use RGB colors.
After looking at some examples of TV logos. I noticed that they all are either black or white or use think lines or no outlines at all. Hopefully this one will be better than the last. I reworked the mouth as well and tried to make some more sense of the other blocks.. The monster head is retouched a bit. Critique is welcomed.

That's a better version but the green-blue earphones spoil it a lot. One can see that those are there just to fulfill the brief's request to use the colors and have no real function at all.
Hmm okay I will see if I can implement less of the headphones. Yeah I agree I got carried away with trying to make sense of the colors and it ended up s headphones! Will retouch it again.
This one's graphics are better than the 1st version, but its more for Audio - I mean the headphones - Then something in that face disturbs me - I'm not sure what...
I think there is something good between both versions 1 and 2. A few suggestions: First I would make the main cube a 16:9 ratio to reflect the now commonly understood TV screen (regardless of showing classic 4:3). If your going for a retro look then use the classic rounded TV screen shape. The headphone look is confusing (as mentioned) for a tv format. Try reducing the number of elements in the face. Concentrate on just the eye and eyebrow cutouts but keep it simple as you might need to create a small logo bug. For the ear blocks, try making them more arched to create the softer look you might have been going for with the arch over the top. The color scheme is fine, but go with a more bold primary color selection of each. The "television" type looks odd and takes away from the rest. You might choose a thinner more generic type spaced to match the title type width.
Excellent critique. I will definitely look into that. The ides of it being a 16:9 rectangle is my biggest fear! Because I don't want it to look too mainstream. But I will try it anyway and see how it turns out. I will see what it looks like with just the eyes alone. I am thinking about removing the color blocks altogether? And perhaps focusing on just the red one. To simplify it even more.
Thanks again
i think this is pretty interesting but would love to see a box shape more like a old school tv shape! =D
Yeah will defiantly try oldschool and see how that works out.
