Dayton Web Developers Meeting

ricardozea | Tue, 03/31/2015 - 18:11

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.

The "Est. 2007" is gone now, too small (thanks @xTheKillswitch ) and too gimmicky as @Shawali mentioned. I agree with those observations.

This logo is more a 'badge' plus the tagline, which I think helps the brand a bit.

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

Yup looks great.

Pro tip though: i wouldn't use capitalized characters, it kinda make the subtext look like it's not perfectly embracing the curve of the circle. Especially with that cap M.

Hmmm, interesting observation Shawali. Yeah, I like the tagline all lowercase. Check it out.

Ok I see what looks off: the baseline of the subtext is at equal distance between the edge of the blue circle and the yellow circle. But since the text is directly ABOVE that baseline, it looks closer to the blue circle. I would expand the baseline circle and maybe make the subtext all caps. I hope I'm being clear.

As we say in France, we're fucking flies here, but I think it's worth it =)

I checked and it was off only by 1px. Consider that I didn't measure this, I eyeballed it, so 1px off isn't too bad :p

When making the tagline all caps, it made it closer to the inside blue circle, so I had to expand the baseline a bit and move it away.

I like it all caps a bit better actually.

So many way, so many options... but that's the beauty of design :)

Thanks again!
