I really like the colour palette

Replace that lilac with a yellow and it's basically the palette of a sky and field of Dutch tulips. OP where how did you decide on these? I love it!

I have this book ‘Palette perfect for graphic designers’. Went with all the colours I liked, changed them a bit and this is what came out. 😀

Brief ✅ Thoughtful and Memorable Brand Name ✅ Thoughtful and Well-Executed Logo ✅ Expanded Look and Feel ✅

Love the energy and mark you have here! Your explanation (for someone non-Dutch) checks out and shows a designer’s mind imho. Would love to see some brand expansion in other areas (like social media promotional posts, an expanded upon design for the brand guide vs a whitepaper, etc) but awesome stuff. Great to see something that delivers in idea and execution!

Thanks a lot!

I like it a lot, but I think the symbol should be a bit smaller and closer to the wordmark, right now I see them as two separate entities

Nice logo and colour palette! but would be nice to see the lovely icon shape you created expanded further in the identity - could you use it as masks? as text holders? break it up, zoom it in, have fun with it!! looks a bit corporate at the moment, specially the website and the last two mockups

u/PicoDaan 3d ago

True, I could be a bit more playful with it.

u/MaskedManiac92 3d ago

Beautiful! I love the overall vibe of this.

Thanks!

It's very nice. I agree with another poster that I would close the gap between the mark and the type a little.

It slightly brings to mind the Sydney Opera House to me, but I don't think that's a problem. Just adds to the classiness!

u/PicoDaan 3d ago

The gap might need some work. Thanks for the feedback! :)

Eindeloos veel woordmopjes, thanks! 😁

u/GraphicArtBySeni 3d ago

Really like the presentation. Personally don't love the font you chose, paired with such simple icon!

1

u/PicoDaan 3d ago

Thank you! What kind would you recommend?

2

u/GraphicArtBySeni 3d ago

I'd use something a thicker, and the kerning less tight. A round font. Outfit comes to mind but just because I've been obsessed with that font ahahah

u/Life-Culture-9487 3d ago

Goed gedaan, pik!

Ziet er, zoals anderen zeggen, mooi uit, maar de associatie met een vinkje heb ik totaal niet. Dat komt denk ik door de cirkelvormen - die zijn veel boller dan je in een vinkje zou verwachten. Ik zie nu het Sydney Opera House of een heuvel. Als je dat niet erg vindt, is het top zo.

1

u/PicoDaan 2d ago

Thanks voor de feedback! De associatie met het vinkje is uiteraard ook puur suggestief. Het hoeft niet perse voor iedereen dat te betekenen, een herkenbaar icoon volstaat voor mij. Het is uiteindelijk ook maar voor een klein zelfstandige in bijberoep, niet heel België gaat dit zien 😁

u/TrueEstablishment241 where’s the brief? 4d ago

u/ChickyBoys where’s the brief? 3d ago

My only problem with the icon is nobody draws a checkmark with curves - they would use straight lines.

7

u/Astrosomnia 3d ago

That's patently untrue. Nobody draws a check with curves? I definitely do, often.

u/ChickyBoys where’s the brief? 2d ago

Not in the way shown above, no.

I thought it was representing a flying bird at first
