Hey, not sure if this is in the right place or not..

I'm in the process of setting up a new personal design portfolio so I can work freelance over the summer and get some extra work, and just wanted to get some opinons on the logo/identity of the site. I'm aiming for a pixelated, neon kind of theme for the site, with grey, neon pink, green and blue being the colour scheme.

I've been staring at the logos for days now and I feel like I've lost all my judgement lol..so any feedback or criticism is welcome. I've got a feeling a couple of the logos are a bit filter crazy..I tend to do that when I get bored of something.

I have to admit I don't like the third and fourth, as they seem a little dull, but I totally dig the first one, maybe try playing with the in and out of the light line in the first one. The corona isn't quite working imho, other than that it's my favourite by far, great work. :)

While #1 does look kind of cool, I can't help but be reminded of the 80/90's when 3D animation first really popped into the world.

I like the fourth one, but without the corona pink thing. Without that it would be slick and web 2.0 and look excellent with a site designed in the same fashion.

I was kinda going for the retro 80/90's look kind of 'fused' with the modern web 2.0 look..thats how the idea and name came about...but it's just experimentation for now.

Do you mean without the whole dynamite logo? I did try it without and and it seemed kind of bland, as if something else was needed..

honest opinion:

i think you should steer clear of the 80's look. it is a turn off for most people imo. a simplistic web site is the way to go for a designer cause honestly clients will see your fancy logo and think that is all you can do or associate you with that kind of style. however, your portfolio should have as much of a variety as possible so that they can see you dont just do 80's pixel art.

here are some examples i found:

Last one for it's simplicity and versatility (it's look pretty good on anything). It'd go well on a light or dark background.

1st looks ok but its at too steep an angle. Maybe playing about with it would make it better (although I'd still prefer the last). 2nd Favs prob the 2nd one but although I would loose that circular logo think to the left perhaps.

Thanks for the advice.

After having a break for a bit and coming back to the PC, I think you're right. I plan to have a fairly dark background and it is probably the simplest and cleanest looking logo, and also very web 2.0

clients will see your fancy logo and think that is all you can do or associate you with that kind of style

I guess so, which I don't really want. I just want a nice clean style, with not too much attention on the logo but more on the variety of overall design skills shown on the site and portfolio

I decided to go with #4, whipped up a quick splash page while I crack on with the site now. The advice was much appreciated!

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
