That's a good point riccard. I like the direction of the first one as it's starting to look like sort of a badge/crest, but maybe soften the look of it a bit and make it a little more "kid friendly".

Hello,

Got a new version for this project.

Still sticking to the mask. A split mask that is supposed to represent the student outside the school (black side) and the student inside the school (orange side). I've put a house shape as nose and this is supposed to represent the school.

Tried using their colour suggestions as well, black and orange.

Feedback appreciated.
Peter

in fact...it's kinda creepy.

And the eyes are boxing gloves.

I like the type though :)

Now all I can see is the underpants too :)

I think the whole mask idea is really interesting, just needs a bit of massaging to get it to a more friendly state.

Hello,

Took a break from this project because of school and now it's time to finish it.

This is the latest revision of the logo. An owl and a mask to represent the "normal" student and the "theatre" student. Thinking of making the mask in a "painted" feel maybe. Also trying to add some hair to represent the six years that the students are there. First idea was to use direct objects like a spotlight, pen, brush, ladder and so on but it didin't really work out. The objects become too small and detailed for it to work at small sizes. I am now trying a more abstract approach to the hair.

Any feedback appreciated

I think the eye on the right side could maybe be moved to the left a smidge and possibly made a little bit bigger. Other than that, I love the outcome. Maybe some downward serifs on the bar of the "T"s?

Thanks,

One thing that I still need is to represent creativity somehow. The hair would go in that direction and then I was thinking of making the mask with some sort of painted effect so that it's not so clean and tidy.

Been moving the mask eye back and forth so I'll probably modify it some more. I think at least I'll make it a little bigger.

Not going to add any serif to the type I think it would kill the contemporary feel that the type has. Already made some small changes from the original and I really like the original except that it was too thin.

Will post a new version soon.

tackar,

yeah the LA merging could be nice. gonna try that and see how it looks.

Maybe try reflecting the hand-drawn quality of the mask in one of the words below.

I like #1. The eye in the owl is perfect in that one — much more lively than the rest.

The theatrical mask side, however, still feels like it needs some drama. The small eye just feels a bit flat.

Thanks,

The client liked version 1 as well but also complained about the mask being a bit flat. Made some tweaks and added some stuff to the mask. Tried some other illustrations as well around the eye but it didn't work so well. Seems it's best when you keep it to a couple of lines. I sent these two to the client as well.

Thanks,

I like the brown on orange, it's not completley red. Gonna try some more geometric shapes on the mask eye but that means it's pretty much gonna be round which I'm not so sure about. Will post some updates on the eye if I get som decent results.

I guess this would be a more geometric eye but I'm not so sure it works. Tried adding a tuft of hair/feathers or whatever to the owl. We have a problem that the owl looks a little like a finish tv channel logo. Also made the symbol smaller, felt like it was too big for the type.

It should work fina in one colour. Just make the mask eye and eyebrows white.

All feedback appreciated.

I agree with Frode. It's the best version, stick with it!

agree with frode. you got something good. stick with it.

yeah this is my problem http://www.mtv3.fi/logot/

That's why I changed the cut between the mask ang owl in order to try and make the owl look a bit different. But I think with the tuft of hair and a round curve it might work better. I dpn't really like the straight line through but it was too similar to MTV3 but with the hair added I don't think it will be such a problem anymore.

I already have a version with another curve just haven't posted it here yet, then add my new simpler eye and the tuft of hair on the owl. Also midified the colour slightly sicen it's supposed to be a dark orange but now it prob looks red to most ppl.

Gonna do some work on the website first though. Will post a new logo version later.

thanks for the feedback so far
peter

IMO, you’re definitely in the clear with regards to the MTV3 logo.

what about an owl mask?

Aight, this is probably be the final version. Only made some small changes. Made the cut between the two parts simpler and modified the eye slightly. Website will be done soon as well.

Still appreciate some feedback if you have any to give.

Thanks
Peter

Thanks,

I'm not gonna change the eye anymore. I actually had a version exactly like these eyes on the mask side but it came out a little alien like, didn't look right.

But the rounded part at the nose is interesting, gonna give that a go and see how it looks.

peter

meh, the rounded nose bit didn't work out so well. Would have to redraw the mask part for it to work and I don't have that much time left.

So the latest version will be the final one.

Website is almost done as well http://www.åts.fi some content still to come but otherwise done.

If anyone has any feedback to give on the site please do so.

Thanks
Peter

Thanks, yeah been modifying the sidebar for a while now, don't want it to stand out too much. Right now I kinda like the fact that you can't clearly see what it says in the headers of the sidebar. It feels defiant, like a teenager. I think it suits the site.

Probably gonna try and modify it some more though, still have to sort out the gallery as well.
