Logo Ideas
So as a current graphic design student, I've decided to try my hand at making my own business logo, as far as the business of ball pythons go. These two concept are what I just popped out tonight after some refinement to my initial ideas .My "first" first ideas didnt make it too far but are still simmering in the back of my head.
The business name I've chosen is "Michigan Painted Pythons". I got the idea from the states reptile being the 'painted turtle' and was trying to tie that idea into a somewhat artistic meaning, where as the 'paint' would also mean the colorful snakes I'd produce.
The main difference between these two concepts is one fully spells out 'Michigan' and the other uses the abbreviated 'Mi' version as well as slightly different fonts. The eventual website will be Mipaintedpythons.com but I'm not sure if its appropriate to use the abbreviated version in the logo.
I don't want it to look overcrowded by letters but I don't want it to look like I cut corners to much by only using 'Mi' in the logo since some people unfortunately think 'Mi' means mississippi, the Mi may lead to eventual confusion perhaps.
Other minor differences is the letter spacing, where as some letters are touching the blocked letters above. There was a initial reason for the letters touching and that was to make it look like some of the letters in the word 'python' had dripped out of the word 'painted'. I started feeling like that was pushing the idea too much so I stopped, I just don't want the blocked letters to come off as plain, I may still add 'drips' to them somewhere just to still get some of that paint feel.
And I know its black and white now but what most of my design teachers say is that it needs to work in black and white first, then you figure out your color scheme, so that's how I'm going.
I need lots of opinions.
