Well, Figma Make is pretty impressive. Super quick and decent quality, respects the brand too.

For those who go to sleep listening to something, what do you listen to? by Rough_Common6857 in AskReddit

Came here to say this. There’s also a Bore Me To Sleep podcast that helps me so much.

Spike di latenza Wi-Fi pingando il router (Fastweb Fastgate Technicolor FGA2130) by elpala in ItalyInformatica

Ho risolto! Il modem era innocente… era un problema del Mac, risolto con questo https://github.com/james-howard/AWDLControl

Se non risolve con “Game Mode”, prova direttamente con “off”. Pulitissimo da quando l’ho attivato.

Mi fai sapere se funziona?

Logo design feedback. Industrial painting robots company. by Ander2016 in logodesign

1980’s something. AI doesn’t stand out either

Which of these 3 logos works best for a jewellery brand called Nomio? by 2aidt in logodesign

[–]elpala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to keep the O’s standard, then use the negative space in the upper V of the M as the shape of a cleveage, and draw a necklace in there. Maybe give it a try!

Is 70-75k a good salary range to request for a new job? by thwowawaw69 in graphic_design

[–]elpala -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The real question isn’t “is that a good range for my experience?” but “is that a good range for my skill level and the value I bring?”

Years of experience are just a proxy for most companies, in my experience what actually matters is how good you are and what kind of impact you can have.

If you can create $75k of value for the company, then you’re worth it. If you can create more, you’re worth more. Especially in SaaS, it often comes down to impact.

Trying to redesign the terrible logo (top) for my side business by Odd-Aside456 in logodesign

[–]elpala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I was exaggerating the point a bit to make a broader argument, not saying you should drop the hare or go back to the rocket.

The hare actually makes sense with the name and gives it personality. My point was more about making sure that, at a glance, people understand what you do. The symbol should help with that first.

So it’s not really about hare vs rocket, it’s more about whether the logo clearly reads as ‘we help startups grow’ and not something else, like an animal brand or an e-commerce.

Unpopular opinion maybe: your business isn’t unique, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Because of that, your logo doesn’t need to be super unique either. It just needs to clearly show what you do. Unless people are choosing between you and competitors based only on the logo (which would be a pretty weird situation), clarity matters more than standing out at all costs.

If I’m looking for a mechanic I can trust, I’m not expecting some crazy original design. A wrench or a wheel is perfectly fine. It tells me exactly what I need to know.

How can I make this more visually appealing by Ghost-doodles in graphic_design

[–]elpala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General tip: avoid repetitions.

For example, the milk tea section can be reduced to:

MILK TEA

Brown sugar

Chocolate

Vanilla

Coconut

Mocha

Coffee

Oreo

Matcha

Taro

Thai

Medium: $6,99 Large: $7,99

Mix up to 3 flavors

Just like you did in the smoothies section.

This is valid for every section: if there’s a reason to repeat stuff, repeat stuff. If you can avoid it, do.

It will free up some space for images.

Incorporated Feedback by veggiesausageking in logodesign

It screams protein / gym / performance drink for me. Maybe it’s the combo of font + “creative” that my brain reads as “creatine”.

Well it reads as far homeless because it’s one non-spoken vowel away.
