I'm working on a logo for a studio I'm starting. I've never done any sort of graphic design before, so what do you all think of this?

Feel free to give suggestions, critique, or make your own edits that you think would be better. Thank you.

My studio name is called Blue Entropy Studios.

 

Edit: Not sure if this is the correct location to post this, so feel free to move this if need be.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

Not sure what the letters above the word Studios are.  Black lines should be sharper.

B E

 

Yeah, I'm working on that; not very familiar with photoshop. I'm trying to figure out a way to make the b a very dark and subtle blue while the e is a darker gray. I don't know how or where I should separate them or make the distinctions between the colors.

very nice however the "STUDIOS" font does not go with the BE

Any suggestions? I'd like a simplistic look. Not too flashy or anything, but not plain and boring.

I don't know anything about graphics but i would say there could be a touch of blue in the logo.

Something far bolder for "studios" would work. The thin/fragile look of what you have now doesn't go well with the "BE" font.

 

edit

 

Something bold like this:

would work in my opinion.

haha yeah. I was thinking of making a copy that is just offset behind the BE that is a dark blue. Or making the B a dark blue and the E a dark grey.

A good logo is designed in such a manner that it grabs attention, and immediately presents and sells a brand. Your "BE" above is very unique, and it stands out. However, it does little to nothing in terms of telling me what your product, service, or content is. Additionally, your logo is not symmetrical, nor is it horizontally or vertically bound. A logo should follow at least one of these, and yours follows none. The horizontal tilt makes it look distorted, and if put on print or a website, it would look and feel out of place. 

 

If you'd like, I could serve you up a few concept images. If you enjoy them, I do commissions, and would love to work with you.

I'd love to see a concept, very interested.

While this likely goes against your design philosophy, here is a concept image I created that demonstrates vertical and horizontal symmetry, whilst simultaneously selling a brand. It toes together both a digital (8-bit) concept, with a flashier, ribbon-style one. The colors indicate something a little less sleek and clean, and a more crafty style.

 

If it wasn't apparent, either, I have watermarked this. That is not a part of the image.

I will likely send you an updated photo with my attempt at horizontal symmetry (I'll most likely not make it vertically symmetric). If I need help, I'd consider paying you, if you'd be willing to work with me. In fact, I need two variants of it done. I greatly appreciate your help. :)

Just shoot me a PM with your inquiry if you decide so!

Also, why not add some colour? Make the B a different colour....

 

Like blue?

yeah I've already stated previously I'm going to add blue. Do you use Photoshop for your wallpapers? Also updated logo so fa .c15JNBF.jpg

I've done a lot more work on it, thanks to @NonaHexa

What a glorious transformation:

 

 

You need to change the concept, it is still quite poor as a logo.
