What's the team/band/community name? (and how are those all the same thing? Like, musical band? Or like a tribe?)

If you want an organic feel to it, which it seems you do, I would edit one side to not be perfectly mirrored. Starting with a mirror gives you a good base to keep it relatively symmetrical, but it could use variation to look more believably hand-drawn.

On the other hand, if you don't want it to be organic, you should even out those shapes, or use a stroked line, rather than filled shapes.

Be careful of the rather narrow shapes and negative spaces, especially around the centre base. When you shrink the logo to 24px, those will disappear. You want to make sure crucial details don't get lost when you reduce to a tiny size, or have an alternate filled version for that purpose. Even then, your negative space needs attention.

I'm seeing either fire or a lotus, or both. This could use some clarifying, especially if it's not supposed to be either of those things 😅

How is this going to be used? Like, where? On what? Will a wordmark be attached?

Should be used as an organization. for Gaming, Music etc. etc. should be suitable for 3d stuff and profile pictures. and id like it to be symmetrical

#

How would I make it bolder, in my opinion it seems slim?

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

Well, by thickening the lines

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 2:51 PM

#

yeah

#

would just be to move the anchor points?

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

Yeah

#

If you like the external silhouette, anyway (which I think works fine)

#

The middle point could go a bit higher.

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

yeah

#

thanks

#

ill try that

#

would it look better closing the center part?

#

btw its a lotus :>

#

#

heres what is up now

#

i feel the center part is too bold?

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 3:04 PM

#

Then even it out, so it's closer to the other ones.

#

The difference in line weight does give it a sense of depth, though.

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 3:04 PM

#

like this?

#

or still too much?

#

¨better

#

whoops

#

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 3:07 PM

#

That looks pretty good. Now it's down to the details and the shape language. Those little curves near the base of the petals mean something, and you want to make sure they're describing what you want them to.

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 3:08 PM

#

any ideas?

#

would like them to describe something sharp and still be bold

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 3:09 PM

#

Gonna do some drawing over, gimme a few minutes

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 3:09 PM

#

Thanks!

#

figured any ideas? if not ill give you more time!

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

#

something feels off

#

lowkey my vectoring skills aren't the best, would you be able to help vectorizing or would that cost?

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

Do not pay anyone on here to mentor you.

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

I can give you pointers, for sure. I'm not going to do the work for you, but I can watch you and show you how to have more control.

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

zenith sparrow Jun 12, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Dunno how we're gonna communicate without a mic. But, sure, if you can type in real time 😅

lusty pelican Jun 12, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

frail blade Jun 12, 2025, 4:03 PM
