***New eye design...and how to design a logo successfully

[lampy88]

ive seen a lot of people trying to design a logo for Big Brother..

here a few things you need to remember about the logo..

- it has to work as a silhouette....simply changing the colour or printing a design on the basic eye outline will not work for a logo.

Look at the past examples theyre are all distinguishable in 'silhouette. so you need to change the 'shape' of the eye

- dont just break up the logo with a pattern...its boring.
look at the past logos, theyve all had something more to the manipulation of the shape.

I think the clockwork idea is clever and I understand what you mean about a silhouette as well. It's a good attempt, although I'm not sure if BB will end up using a clockwork design. :hugesmile:

lol so how do u know u wouldnt like the clockwork in colour?

i know a lot of people who thought the BB5 eye in black and white print was boring etc...when they saw it on screen it all changed, they loved it

you getting my point? :rolleyes:

Its looks different Lampy

Not a big fan of the eye. It's a good idea, but it needs some improving. I wonder if this is enough manipulation:

Sorry Lampy, they just dont look real enough. I agree with bb4eva, when you add colour it will look better. Im not a fan of them
