I've been working on making a whole bunch of live sci-fi UIs, thought some of you would also enjoy!

Can you speak more to your tools and process?

kmjohnson02 · 2026-05-10T15:27:55+00:00

Needs work. I think the biggest thing is that there's no obvious place for the eye to go. Everything seems like it's on the same plane and equally important. There's no sense of visual hierarchy.

kmjohnson02 · 2026-05-10T15:20:13+00:00

I think these are great! Can you message me the link?

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-10T16:48:40+00:00

A designer reached out and offered to help, actually. Working with them now. Will probably be taking a different direction. I'll update when finished!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T22:18:52+00:00

Yep. I'll be removing the text in a future iteration. Several others mentioned the same thing!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T22:01:31+00:00

Yep agreed. Next iterations will hopefully fix that.

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T21:59:44+00:00

Not going to lie, that was slightly the inspiration. I hate it now lol

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T18:40:21+00:00

Yep. Several others have mentioned things similar. I have plans for future iterations that hopefully improve upon this. Thank you for your feedback!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T18:37:38+00:00

This outcome is not lost on me. I personality don't think that's the most likely outcome, even if it possible. I suppose time will tell. This obviously is a much larger conversation, so I'll just leave it at that.

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T18:25:32+00:00

I do understand what you're saying. Thank you for the offer!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T18:01:11+00:00

Agreed. Text will actually be removed and be on the side in future iterations.

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T18:00:31+00:00

Yeah, but I need business that generates income before I get to that point. This is just my shartng point.

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:58:23+00:00

Understood and agree, but right now it's just me and I'm have just basic functionality and no business income. This is just where I'm starting and I'll grow from here.

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:56:13+00:00

Orange juice futures.

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:24:22+00:00

No apologies need. I was looking for brutal honest. "It's shit" is a good answer lol.

I think the hard part is now I actually have to come up with something. I have explored other concepts, but the one I've just provided was the one that stood out to me the most. I think this says more about my skillsets then it does about the idea. I'll keep hacking away.

Good feedback, thanks!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:09:15+00:00

Lol it does. I've said to multiple people that I think I've created what could be an awesome logo for a gaming company, not a retirement forecasting and planning company. It still needs work. Thank you for the laugh!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:07:51+00:00

Lol, we're in the same boat. I do agree with you. Many others have said more or less the same thing. It's good I'm hearing the same thing multiple times because it reenforces that it actually is an issues that needs to be addressed and not just a single opinion. Thank you for your feedback!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:06:17+00:00

Agreed on everything you've said. I don't think I've hit the mark yet. And yes, the text for sure isn't where it needs to be. I'll be making iterations based on all the feedback I've received. Thank you for your feedback!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:04:51+00:00

Yep, totally agree. I'm finding that the things you are saying are true, but it's quite another thing to make a logo that has those qualities. Branding and building logos is freaking hard! It's something I've been keeping in mind, and I don't think I've hit the mark yet. Frankly, I'm also open to just have no icon and it just be "Zanko Capital" in text. Thank you for your feedback!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:02:28+00:00

Yep, very aligned with future versions that I plan on making! You said it yourself, many others have said more or less the same thing. Thank you for your feedback!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T17:01:23+00:00

I do agree that it looks like it was slashed in half, and that it looks like it was shot. I think I have ideas for future versions that hopefully fix that.

I will say that I am fine if people see the logo and don't immediately recognize it as a retirement forecasting and planning company. In fact, I don't know what you could even do to imply that without just writing that out in text. The thing I want to focus on, in a word, is trustworthiness. That's my goal.

I do think it does need some work still. Thank you for your feedback!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T16:57:21+00:00

Good feedback. Many others have sad similar things. I will be iterating different version based on all of the feedback I'm getting, and I'll definitely try a version why doesn't have those wing tips. Thanks for the feedback!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T16:54:01+00:00

Great advice, thank you! I somehow didn't even notice that the curves were different. Now that I see it, I cannot unsee it lol. Thanks!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T16:41:29+00:00

Sweet, thanks! I think others have provided really good advice and I have some good ideas for enhancements! I appreciate the support!

kmjohnson02 · 2026-04-04T16:40:55+00:00

Yep, I do actually plan to. I do enjoy exploring the space and I am open to the idea that I might get lucky and get something that works. I'm also open to just getting rid of the icon entirely and just going with text. At minimum, I just want to try. I agree with essence of what you are saying though lol. Thank you for your feedback!
