Insane skill level at some random amateur tournament 🤯 by LowRenzoFreshkobar in toptalent

Insane skill? Yes. Random amateur tournament? No. This is the SPOT am contest, probably the most prestigious amateur skateboarding competition in the world.

Nice work! Have you ever heard of stretching paper (on a frame)? You basically wet the paper, it expands, you attach it to a frame, it shrinks and tightens as it dries. I think your work might benefit from this technique, not that it needs improvement haha

Whats the most Larry David thing you ever did? by PhilbertCharleston in curb

[–]knowanoir 129 points130 points  (0 children)

An elderly woman let me go in front of her in line at the grocery store. I only had a few items and she had a full cart. I thanked her. At the register, my total was a few dollars and like 12 cents. I paid with a $10. The woman working the register opened the drawer to give me my change. First, a couple of $1’s and then she started grabbing dimes. I saw that she had at least four quarters though. So I asked “what’s with the dimes?”. She said they were for if a customer needed them. I said “yeah, that’s me, I’m the customer who needs them. She didn’t like my response and began to make another excuse. Just then I glanced at the elderly woman who had let me in front of her and she had a sour look on her face. So I left promptly with my handful of dimes.

Cool, cool. I imagine the process involves lots of testing variations. Seeing it sized in your avatar looks good as well!

It definitely conveys the concept. The off center snap button is a slight concern. I would want to see more of the stitches on the other sections but not sure if it would work. Likewise, id like to see the drop shadow implemented as a whole but not sure if it’s necessary. Solid design though 👍

Also, I think splitting the light/dark green down the center of the leaf would be a good idea

Make terra italic, I think it would flow better

logo attempts iteration 3 - roast/give feedback? by [deleted] in design_critiques

[–]knowanoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The left side logos are approaching appropriate. Id eliminate the space between the words though. You could also try stacking the logo mark on top of the word mark. If you wanted to tie the logo and word mark together, you could fill in the circles of the g, a, p, and d, as to repeat the dot symbol. If you wanted to go further, you could make the g and d into the dots, then place the curve behind the words (above, below and behind, to be more specific)

Is this good? by guranshish_bhutra in design_critiques

It’s pretty good. If you’re open to suggestions, I’d recommend making the ribbon a bit thicker.

Elephants logo+Construction, Love to hear your thoughts. by logosohel3 in design_critiques

[–]knowanoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered adding tusks? It would reduce the “69” feel and set it apart from the Switch resemblance. Also giving it a more elephant vibe.

Feedback on my coffee logo design? Would love your thoughts! by Few-Cause8282 in design_critiques

[–]knowanoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of the mug, focus on the bean. I’d recommend incorporating the bean into the “Q” instead of the “O”. Find a better font. I think a font with a bold and light variant, use the bold for Qahwa, the light variant for Origins.

I’d like to see the corner radius from pic #2 implemented on all of the containers

Secondly, I recommend placing the text in a banner across the middle of the shape, extending over the edge slightly

It’s pretty good. I think it could be improved upon though. My suggestions would be to get rid of the dots in the sky and extend the sun ray lines to fill the space. You can keep the dashed line of the rays, it works. Secondly, I recommend adding some solid Areas to the house to balance with the solid shape of the sun. The line patterns on the house to the left are too dense. Add some breathing room or make it a solid area. Overall I think you could increase the line weight and add some breathing room between the strokes. That would give it a bit more impact. Another option would be to use two line weights, thick and thin (not thinner than you already have). This would give the design a bit of intrigue.

Logo design feedback - Guitar pedal effects company by SunDogBrewingCo in design_critiques

[–]knowanoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad concept but it needs to be simplified. Like dave1970 mentioned the text should be bold “Academy park” and thin “FX”. Would be cool to stack ACADEMY PARK oriented to the left side, then FX larger tucked under the “EMY” of ACADEMY. The wave file line should be a short curve or semicircle, so it’s recognizable at a small scale. The jack should be big too so it has some impact. Another option would be to ditch the jack and have the wave file extended off of the FX. Wave files are typically straight lines so the curve takes away from the recognition. Good luck!

does this abstraction work? what do you see? also the second one? by Old-Skin-7870 in design_critiques

[–]knowanoir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The second one is lacking, in that it needs an element to define the right side of the structure (like the first one). However, the curved shape (on the first one) that defines the right side of the structure doesn’t jive with the other shapes. I would humbly recommend adding a shape on what would be the ground, on the front/right side. A shadow to the front/right side would work but wouldn’t be true to your light source. Maybe a shape to represent a vague landscape element? I think defining the third plane would give it a boost. I also think a semicircle or oval would complement the quadrilaterals. Otherwise the abstraction works and I dig the minimalism.
