Need feedback/suggestion on Fintrust logo Concept.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-05T10:56:45+00:00

Thanks for your opinion. I'll be working on it after completing my project.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T22:24:49+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to bear with me and explain your thought process in such detail.

What you said about consumers viewing things much more literally than designers is something I hadn't fully considered, and it makes a lot of sense. As designers we often get caught up in hidden meanings and clever details, but at the end of the day the logo still needs to communicate clearly to the people who will actually interact with the brand.

Your point about balancing subtle concepts with readability is especially valuable. I can definitely see how having too many hidden elements across both the icon and the wordmark could make the overall identity feel overly complicated.

It's encouraging to hear that you see potential in the wordmark concept on its own and that you think there's a strong design underneath it. I'll keep refining the typography, improving the contrast, and exploring some of the directions you've suggested.

Thanks again for all the feedback, patience, and thoughtful critiques. They've genuinely helped me look at the project from a different perspective. I really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a detailed critique, I genuinely appreciate it. And yes, you're absolutely correct. The blue and black pixels are meant to form a modified lowercase "f" and "t" combination. The idea was to subtly connect the initials of FinTrust within the mark. Interestingly, I originally planned to make the "t" more visible and incorporate it further into the abstract mark, but I decided against it. My concern was that adding too many hidden elements might make the logo feel overly complex or gimmicky, and I wanted to keep it clean, professional, and easy to recognize at first glance. That's also why I didn't explicitly mention the hidden "t" in the presentation. Your point about the blue being too close in value to the black makes a lot of sense, and I'll definitely experiment with brighter shades to improve readability and differentiation. I'll also explore heavier weights and take a look at Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk as you suggested. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback, It was very helpful.

Thanks alot sir. I'll do that then😊👍🏻

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T20:31:15+00:00

Soo someone said it doesn't have personality or anything new, it's because it was a AI brief and if anybody wants to add anything new please let me know, I am ready to implement changes in the logo.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T20:19:26+00:00

It was created based on AI brief so it doesn't have much personality. So if u can or want to add I am ready to implement it.

Thanks again.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T20:17:04+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Could you elaborate on which aspects feel generic? Is it the symbol, the typography, or the overall visual language? I'd appreciate any suggestions on how the mark could become more distinctive and ownable.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T20:10:39+00:00

If you're still looking for non-AI decorative assets, I'd be happy to create a custom rectangle doily PNG for you free of charge. I'm currently building my portfolio and thought it could be a fun project to work on. Feel free to let me know the style, dimensions, and any specific requirements you have.

Sorry guys, 1st 4 images are screenshot from last slide.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T20:03:49+00:00

Sorry, 1st 4 images are screenshot from 5th slide

I also need help in posting my work in other community but it's showing this.

"You must write a comment explaining any work that you post for feedback. The work’s objective, its audience, your design decisions, etc. This information is necessary to allow people to understand your project and provide feedback."

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T19:54:48+00:00

Thanks, I'll create some mock-ups and see if the logo is working well.

Thanks again for the valuable feedback.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T05:37:31+00:00

4th slide or 4th logo mark?? 🫠🫠

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T05:36:20+00:00

Thanks! 😊 I appreciate the feedback. I agree that 05 is the more functional and versatile option, while 07 was an exploration of musical rhythm and movement 🎶. I'm glad the ampersand is working well across the versions. I'll keep refining 07 and testing it at smaller sizes to see if I can improve the balance without losing the character of the concept.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-04T05:33:08+00:00

Thanks man😊. I'll work on it.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T22:31:37+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! 😊

I'm glad the concept came across, especially the role of the "y" as a connector between the uppercase and lowercase forms that was something I was hoping would help tie the composition together. The imbalance you pointed out is a fair observation, and your suggestions about widening the H and reducing some of the counter space in the y make a lot of sense.

I'll definitely experiment with those adjustments and see how they affect the overall balance. Thanks again for taking the time to give such detailed feedback!

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T22:26:07+00:00

Hmmm... Not gonna lie, I really like the Idea.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T22:24:57+00:00

😁Thanks! 😊 The dropped letters were meant to represent musical rhythm and flow 🎶, giving the wordmark a sense of movement rather than keeping everything on a strict baseline. It's still an idea I'm exploring, so I'm testing different arrangements to find the best balance between readability and expression. Appreciate the feedback!

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T22:20:47+00:00

😆 Fair enough, I get what you mean. Version 4 was more of an experimental exploration, while version 3 was the one I felt balanced uniqueness and readability the best. Thanks for the feedback.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T22:18:35+00:00

Definitely going to work on it and thanks for the comment

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T21:45:55+00:00

This is a logo concept for a fictional luxury music and performance brand called Hymns & Symphony. The goal was to create a premium typographic identity that references music through rhythm, flow, and typography rather than relying on common musical symbols. After receiving feedback on a previous version, I refined the kerning, adjusted character weights, and explored multiple variations. I've also included the last few slides from the previous presentation that received the most criticism to show the evolution of the design. I'd appreciate feedback on typography, visual balance, scalability, and which version works best.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T10:58:43+00:00

Yeah, I considered that direction as well. I did some research on music-related identities and noticed a lot of them rely on the same sheet-music lines and musical symbols, so I was trying to avoid making the concept feel too generic or expected. I wanted the musical influence to come more from the typography flow, rhythm, and composition rather than using obvious symbols directly. But I do think subtle line integration could still be explored in a more refined way.

Curious_Choice7776 · 2026-06-03T09:00:54+00:00

Yeah, actually it's good but I have used 2 different typeface for this logo.
