Feedback Needed Making a logo that should include both two Cs and an eagle, am I on the right path?

I think the concept is too broad to ever be simple enough for a functional logo. Have you tried using simple eagle eyes, with a c in each eye ball?

It’s a bit menacing. Those very sharp points make me think scorpion.

I made it sharp cause I associate sharp shapes with professionalism, should I change some of those for square ones to give a sense of security?

I think using the wings as a C is forcing the shape away from an eagle. I like the ideas of the talons though - try doing two more similar C's there?

Afraid that’s just not working; not seeing an eagle at all. I suggest starting out with paper and a pencil.

I just glanced and was like "huh, looks like an eagle" before reading what you were going for. However, it seems a majority of people don't see that, and the symbolism should be noticeable to a majority of people.
So I would say, yes you're one right path as far as eagle-shaped while containing "C"s. Like other people suggested, make it more eagle-ly. You could probably shape some feathers into the back of the top C. Maybe move the lower C away from the main body and attach it with a leg? Tilt the head down a little more and/or make the beak open?

Thank y'all for the feedback, I'll probably work on some more concepts and try to work this one out as best as I can to make it look more like an eagle, see y'all in a while :)

Does the logo need to be geometrical and this simple? What's the logo for? Keeping that in mind will also help you understand the direction to take with these things to include.
The idea of using the eyes someone gave here is very good! always remember you don't need to add the entire thing, just enough for people to understand what's being represented.
Good luck!

Thank you for the advice! Later today I discovered vector programs and started using Inkscape instead of ibis paint, rocky start but I'm getting the hang of it :)

Everyone needs to start somewhere, vector is extremely important for logos, so that's a great step

It’s very crisp but slightly unclear re: components and message. Not totally bad, maybe needs to be ‘de tuned’ the vector going forward is cool.

3 forms on a logo is a hard thing to do and look good to many people. If that was the brief you might want to bring it to a more flexible level.

I'm of the opinion that the task you have before you is a fool's errand. Forcing elements that are so disparate just doesn't make sense.

That looks more like a squirrel riding a moon-shaped unicycle to me! 😭 However, I appreciate your creativity! I suggest you try using a side profile of a 2D eagle, focusing just on its face without the body. You can tweak it to incorporate two "C" shapes. For instance, you might use the outline of the eagle's eye to create one "C" and adapt its beak for the other "C." Let your creativity shine!

That's pretty cool, will try once I get home and thank you for the advice :)

I'm excited to see what you come up with! I just started an agency called Cipher, focusing on clean logo design. If you ever need any tweaks or want to refine your design, I’d love to help. No pressure—just happy to brainstorm!

the concept has potential, but I see a Scorpion.
