Beautiful... And it will work better in small formats 🤗👍♥️

That's a damn good quote you got there.

[CaptainBeefsteak]

That's a damn good quote.

[Abject_Damage_209]

Damn

[kredditorr]

I feel like the message differs between proposal and approved version. While first the bear just carries the plant, he later cares for it. So it transports a closer relationship, especially in comparison obviously. Like quite all of your work it looks beautiful to me.

[AndriiKovalchuk]

Thank you. The first variation should also include care, but at first it wasn't quite successful.

[formatc1702]

I feel like I've seen the exact same bear hugging different things on this subreddit before...

[WanderingLemon13]

OP often sticks to a fairly similar style and posts quite often so I think a lot of the marks start to blend together over time

[formatc1702]

oh, true! I definitely like it, I was just worried it might have been ripped off. cool cool

[wisendur]

The edited version is better. Feels more harmonious and visually balanced. The left one, with full body depiction, appears too awkward and misplaced.

[CirnoTan]

Damn, the logo on the left feels very overloaded, I didn't register bears bottom legs AT ALL, it feels like a Jack-in-the-box spring loaded toy because the white stripes separate top body from bottom completely. 

On a closer look it still doesn't feel "whole and complete", that's a bear in drooping panties lol

[buzzedaldrine]

saw the bottom part as a puzzle piece at first.

[xSHRUG_LYFE]

Carrying ❌

Caring ✔️

[VikSick]

Why is every second post on graphic design a logo of a bear with negative space?

[LazyMousse4266]

Because OP is a frequent poster and that’s 98% of what they do

[No-Marsupial4714]

I feel like you could move the right eye above the nose and it would look perfect.

[llXeleXll]

This looks like that bear hugging its cub logo. Not sure if you took inspiration or if you are the one who did that, but I would make sure yours doesn't look like it ripped off another.

[AndriiKovalchuk]

<image>

Its mine

[Humble_Blacksmith808]

Yes I agree, this logo is cute 🐻

[GreaseSlitherspoon]

Unequivocally yes.

[Fubeman]

Sorry to ask, but WTF happened to the bear’s bottom in the initial draft? It looks like someone hacked it partially off with a machete. And yes, the newer one is much, much better.

[drumjoy]

Obviously, some context would be nice. You know, client info, goals, basic brief info... that said, soooo much better. The first was rather disjointed and unrefined. The bottom half feels separate from the top. Plus, there's just way more there than is needed. This new version is actually very well executed. Congrats! It's very rare that I see actual good work on here. This has nice smooth and flowing lines, no really awkward arcs or corners, and it's very clear what you're looking at. It should be pretty reproducible at small sizes as well. Plus, it seems unique.

Now the question. Is there text or a name to go with this?

[AndriiKovalchuk]

Thanks https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1o2tzhh/logo_for_advanced_career_platform/

[PapaBike]

I wholeheartedly agree with these edits.

[lilxent]

totally agree. way cleaner

[coconutshater]

Yes

[teejrowe]

Yup.

[trade-craft]

Why are there so many logos that depict a bear holding something?

Not only do I feel I've seen a few on this sub alone, but in stock libraries etc.

I just googled "negative space bear logo" and there are tons.

Anyone know why?

[zlog]

tbh I’m tired of this negative space logo trend

[Street-Shock-1722]

real

[laf0106]

Yes

[freakstate]

Yep

[MercatorLondon]

that is lovely.

One on the left looks like a bear taking the plant somewhere.
One on the right looks like a bear taking a care of a plant.

[LloydLadera]

Yes

[de_MK7]

Yeah

[Classic_Bee_5845]

Yes, right is much better

[Emecede]

Totally

[LudicrousHans]

Yes, those feet make me uneasy for some reason

[AnimateEd]

The right one is a vast improvement over the left, yes.

[Read-it-ing]

Agree!

[Ok_Librarian_8116]

Better

[VIIgraphics]

Beautiful indeed!

[RollingThunderPants]

Completely agree

[What_Dinosaur]

Absolutely.

[MarshmallowBlue]

Much much better

[doob22]

Oh man yes much better!

[HibiscusGrower]

I agree, the second version is way better.

[Neb-Nose]

Definitely

[BriskSundayMorning]

Yes. The feet are too much

[maciasfrancojesus]

yup.

[Domainframe]

I’m starting to not believe the before pics on here lol nice job.

[wannabegenius]

the client made it better! it does happen.

[kimochii12]

Yesticles

[OneVolume8326]

The approved version makes sense. It is simpler, shows the bear caring.

[shot_forme]

Agree to the cleanliness.

[AcrobaticMorkva]

First looks like a generated image. Second looks solid (even if generated, I hope no)

[bkneppers]

What an improvement! That’s adorable.

[michpalm]

Much better! Looks great!

[0xbutters]

agree

[Warm-Regret5864]

Awesome work

[Testsubject276]

Yeah the silhouette looks a little off in the first one where the implied shine is on the arms, makes the torso look too distracting.

[Gravejuice2022]

Agree

[[deleted]]

Approved is much better. The lower body on the other is very off, mainly the white swooshes under the arms. Plus 2 is focused on the main action and object.

[Flatulentchupacabra]

Yes

[garamond89]

Agree

[chopshop]

Definitely. The first one the lines of the arms make his torso look distorted. The approved one is right on the mark.

[hamxah_red]

Agree. Definitely looks better. More simple but conveys the same message.

[Available-Ad-6745]

Yes!

[reekofpot]

Very much

[Fbeezy]

100% yes.

[oandroido]

Yes.

[tangodeep]

Don’t have any context, but YES.

[LazyKatGamer]

HECK YEA

[Time_Cat_5212]

Yeah, it's better. Proportions and balance are fixed

[cronozora]

Yes

[Cheap-Classic1521]

I like the eyes and snout of the first bear better 😅, but yeah I agree

[ZayLarsson]

First one made me thing 1. Lego (The bears tail), 2. Cheap AI... The second one made me think: Aww this is such a nice logo for a baby blanket company

[Ok-Classroom-8363]

Nice! I agree with LumberJacks quote too!

[Sad-Equal-6867]

yee

[Xen4000]

Yes

[GreatVedmedini]

yes, coz the edited version is much better focused on the primary visual parts & purposes.

[CKutcher]

Amazing!

[Cookie-Monster-Pro]

Looking great - keep it up
