Hi - here;s two version of my design. There's a lot of detail on the coin that you can't see on these smaller versions. I'm also working on other colour variations, and also mono versions. Many thanks.
I Like the font (it looks somewhat Sopranos like) I don't like the wand or the coin Is there a way to incorporate cross hairs? Also is there a way to make the wand look like a gun somehow?
I don't understand or like the red jagged line along the bottom. I also don't like the "the" reversed out. I do like the cross hairs reversed out in the hitman an> I think the red and black element of it has potential. I also think that we need to incorporate some magic elements to it without being too trite.
Hi - thanks for the feedback. I've chose an Ace of Spades as the coolest recognisable magic trick icon I can think of and added it to both designs. I've removed the reversed-out of the "the" also. The jagged line is to give the logo some "grunge" texturing to show that you have an 'edge'. This works well with "mafia" style logos to help look grittier. Let me know what you think.
I am not sure that I still like the jagged line. Is there a way to put a "stylized" magic wand in there in place of that line and still tryb and communicate the same thing? Also is there a way to dimensionalize either magic or hitman to make the word stand out a little bit from the other? I'm not sure how it would look but I think it might be worth checking out.
Hi - how is this? I've illustrated a magic wand and given it a slightly grungy style. I've also changed the size of the "Hitman" in the logo as you suggested.
I like the Hitman emphasized like that. I don't like the wand grunge style. It doesn't look right. It just comes out looking like rotten wood to me. The truth is I like the the angle of the cross hairs and ace of spades in logo number 1. But I like the way the text stands out in the second two logos. Also. I am thinking about the possibility of animating this logo using the wand as the weapon that fires the shots. Using that as a guideline, can you come up with a different look for the wand? I really appreciate your work on this.
Hi - okay, I've done my best. The main problem in getting the scope/card positioning of the 1st version and the contrast of the text in the second version, is that the text in the second version stands out so much because its mainly on a black background. Putting the card behind it causes problems as it becomes white on white. I've resolved this by putting the card behind the "Hitman" word instead, which still allows the high contrast text. Ive also done a psuedo-3D version too.
#21 Also, Can we add the name "Ken Courtney" above the Magic Hitman? That is my name and it should probably be included in the logo or at least be able to be added in when desired
#21 looks better I think we are getting dangerously close here. The problem is this. I like very much the way the cross hairs look #15. Can we combine that look with #21 and still keep the two color Text? Also what would it look like to add a trigger to the wand? Just a thought.
Hi again - here's two more versions, with the changes you requested - I think its really looking cool now! I'm not sure about the ace of spades now - it might be making it look a little too busy - so I tried a version with the card removed, and I personally think it makes a much more striking logo. Let me know what you think.
I'm not sure I like the gun/wand. Is there a way to merely add a trigger to the wand? Also can we take #25 and angle it like #22? Finally, can we move the Ken Courtney up and to the left of the crosshairs Thanks.
After more thought, I think any obvious gun reference is a bad move. Can you move the trigger further back and to the left on the wand just to see how that looks? Can you also keep the logo angled like in 30 but add the ace of spades back? Finally can you adjust the angle of the ace of spades and make the spade on the card = the "A" in hitman? Thank you.
Can you please give me a combination of 24 22 and 36? I Mean the typeface like 24, but angled like 36 and with the white ace of spades positioned on the A in Hitman. I would like to see the ace of spades bigger like in 22 and then less prominent as in 20.
