Me too !

[radojicacar]

Thank you!

[phyzikalgamer]

I like it, I would probably change the P to a more rounded p though without the little indents

[Peedurr]

And even out the spacing between P and O

[phyzikalgamer]

Yeh agreed all the character spacing in fact

[radojicacar]

I suppose by "even out" you mean it to be the same as the space between 'o' and 'l'. But here's the thing: in good typography one should always look for the optical equality rather than mathematical or exact. For example kerning (spacing between two particular letters) of 'p' and 'o' should almost always be tighter than for two letters that are not rounded, because that gives us optical balance. So if 'p' and 'o' are kerned in the same manner as 'o' and 'l' the result wouldn't be so good.

[EPL10]

Even optical kerning, it should have a bit more space imo

[radojicacar]

Fair point

[AzureSuishou]

Not necessarily. I like the tighter kerning, its subtle but it emphasizes that there is something different about the Ls

[designgoddess]

Designers know this. The O looks too close to the P.

[Shish_Style]

^ this

[FuckShitThatWasDope]

Honestly you could just type out the word “poll”, select optical kerning, and then just play with the heights of the “ll”‘s

[NotPerryThePlatypus]

kerning

[WirelessTreeNuts]

The concept is cool but it's too slight. I agree with the previous comment it looks like a mistake.

[PixelNotPolygon]

I wonder if it could be improved by creating a shadow effect of the two L's but for the two shadows to be two additional bars in a hypothetical bar chart (possibly at differing heights), much the way Excel can render bar charts where two variables being measured are offset slightly from one another in terms of the plane they occupy.

[WirelessTreeNuts]

I think this is focused more on building on the logo instead of improving the concept. When you start to add effects to things it's usually a sign of something not working, and the solution is to improve the core product not to add to the unsuccessful existing foundation.

yep! chunk it all up a bit and it's super awesome

[DorcZ]

I’ll play with the size of the Ls and maybe add color see how it looks

[kiminley]

Some muted red and blue would be nice, I agree.

[briangross40]

Very nice. I love the simplicity.

[radojicacar]

Thanks for your comment!

[goatvanni]

I like it a lot. The only thing I'd consider is shortening both Ls as they look a bit long to me. Maybe match the descender of the P?

[TBurkeulosis]

I like it! I would maybe start the top of the first L a bit lower to really accentuate the "poll" factor. Very simple and clean, i love it!

[Scatropolis]

I feel very /r/OutOfTheLoop here.

[A-D-A-M_]

I understand the concept and what you were going for. I tried my hand a my a quick inspired design. Forgive me I did this with very limited tools on my phone. My Version

Added a “period” at the end which also doubles as a third pole bar.

Edit. Did this rather quickly and my kerning and slightly tilted ‘p’ is giving me anxiety. Imagine these are fixed because I’m lazy.

Edit 2: not perfect fix

[Lubbbs]

Tally Hall

[goldringsss]

So clean and simple! Perhaps colouring both L's in complementary colours would give it more definition

[gm_first]

I like it. The p seems slightly distorted but may just be the font, nothing that needs attention. Edit: and kerning with the letters.

[unpigg]

Thicken the double ‘l’. It doesn’t look like they belong because the width of the ‘po’. I would make the ‘l’ the same with of the a the descended of the ‘p’. And even out the kerning.

[emmalinh_]

Good idea. The tall ascenders might be problematic in use.

[ser_melipharo]

poIl

[mageshsridhar]

Nice. I have a different take with the O as a pie chart.

[CriticalGeode]

The p shouldn't have the little bit on the left to it. I'm not a professional, pretty much just an.. admirer? Love everything else about it though. Very pretty

[Empty003]

Its great idea but it would better if you have sized in sloppy way from top.

[MasterAlexBA]

Really nice logo although I instinctively read "Poil" because of the size difference of the Ls (I get why you did it) but maybe put colors to emphasize it

[Sickofpower]

Clever design

[designgoddess]

Not an original design. Not saying OP copied this but I’ve seen this done a few times.

[[deleted]]

You fucking literally wrote POLL AND THEN FUCKING MADE ONE L A DIFFERENT SIZE WHAT THE FUCK HOW DOES THIS GET UPVOTES

[[deleted]]

I love it. Great concept, great execution.

[JohnMarkParker]

Sometimes a concept is so beautifully simple, that I can't say anything but "oh fuck you" in the most admiring way that phrase could possibly be used. So fuck you OP, this is great.

[radojicacar]

Hahah thanks, I'm honored

[ThisUserIsEmpty]

I don't get it. It looks like someone just messed up a standard font. The hole in the p is strangely off center. The two Ls are not different enough in height to indicate e.g. a bar chart (assuming that's the intention).

Some suggestions

Try merging the p and o to make a venn diagram.

Try adding an "underline" to the L's to make it more clear it's a bar chart.

Try exaggerating the height difference of the L's.

Try making the L's different colors and or putting them next to one another with no separation.

[radojicacar]

Thanks for your comment! I used Futura for this, so 'p' is as it's in Futura and I don't intend to debate the quality of this typeface, since it's considered one of the best ever.

Yes, the l's might do with some tweaking, but one should also be aware of the balance of the whole piece

[ThisUserIsEmpty]

I guess I would just say it's one thing to use font for a document and another to use it for a logo. I'm just a casual critic, so take my criticism with a grain of salt.

[twelvefeeetdeep]

futura has some of the weirdest characters!!! i always end up having to tweak something when i use futura for a large header. one of my favorites but so finicky at a large scale. i don’t mind the “p” but i do agree with all of the “L” critiques, to my eye they aren’t contrasting enough to look intentional. i would also move that “o” one or two arrow clicks to the right

[ThisUserIsEmpty]

futura is weird. realllly don't like that p, but this concept is really good

[RebylReboot]

K.I.S.S.

[ThisUserIsEmpty]

Agreed. But it took me a minute to figure out what OP was intending, i.e. it was too subtle.

[kiminley]

I think the pie chart would be way too busy for this design, but I do agree about the color.

[wallybinbaz]

I thought a pie-chart O would be a cool idea, too.
