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!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
