Artist's Comments
I am working on a new web design for myself and thought about a suitable logo to start with. I know this design is more an artwork than a logo but I think it can be easily reduced to very few colors and simplier shapes. I am not sure if I will incorporate this one but so far I like it. These are my initials L.S. for Lily Seidel.
PLEASE, if you have some helpful thoughts about this design advise me of them! What do you like in it, what would you change? Any critical feedback is welcome! EDIT: Wow, thanks for the numerous comments so far! There are many interesting aspects for improvement. But I have to mention (since many people criticized it) that the "Lilyas" writing is more meant as a signature/watermark and doesn't really belong to the artwork! This is a vectorbased design completely done in Photoshop CS3. © Copyright by Lily A. Seidel 2009. All rights reserved. You may not use my work without my written permission.

Much love from your friendly neighbourhood EVILTORTUREROFDOOM better known as Nixi That is one remarkably clean and beautiful design that catches the eye! Fantastic vector work and nice gradients make this pop off the screen...and no 3D glasses required either!
-- <<-+-<[MythArcana]>-+->> I think you made a wonderfully colorful and attractive design. I think the finer lines give it a certain intricacy that will be difficult for others to steal, or duplicate. The texture on your L is outstanding. My favorite feature is the blue ribbon, and my LEAST favorite (here is my critique)...
Is your name. Lilyas. You've got this amazing detailed and beautiful logo with all the lil tidbits to give a splendid feast to the eye... And at the bottom, as a boring afterthought... "Lilyas", in simple embossed. Text. I don't mean to be harsh - I myself can't handle the same type (harsh) of critique... HOWEVER, I feel like you can do Sooooooo much better with that last lil' detail. Whether it's a different font and blending style into that ribbon, or a completely different directly... I just feel like that that's the only thing "I'd" change. Or perhaps, that i'd like to see changed. Be that as it may. This piece is outstanding, and I doubt I could create its equal. Nice job, Lily. Very dimensional and colorful. A lot of movement, too.
Although I'm not an avid fisherman, the first thought that came to mind when I looked at it was a fish hook (the L) and a worm (the S). I know, I'm weird. Oh well. Have a wonderful day, my friend. Your artwork always is impressive and colorful. You are quite the artist in my estimation. |

Critiques
Or maybe adding all of the letters so that you have a true Lilyas logo...
I like your choice of colors and the mirror reflection in the bottom part of the image...
But there does appear to be to much of a void in the bottom of the image (it would be good to even out the top and the bottom)...
I know that you have Lilyas in the image but maybe making Lilyas totally visible in the image would be a good thing...
Overall it is a good image but it could do with some improvement...
I will be interested in seeing what you come up with in the future
It seems the L should be more prominent maybe putting your Lilyas insignia on the L.
I do like the reflective feel you've given this image. It really highlights the logo itself.
Just a thought Lily.
Overall I believe your once again showing your talent as an artist and a ability to be very creative.
