@ butterfly – completely with you on it misses the finish.

On the other note I’m an excited creature so you may find some of the things overdone. (Eg: Exclamations etc). This was a pretty old ppt. Do see some of my work at http://netbramha.com

Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate it. Learning & Perfection is never ending. Will keep up the pace

Aashish,
I totally agree with Ramesh…you really have a long way to go. But you talk like you have it all. I want you to know that humility is really important for a designer. You are still so young in the design field. Now is all about getting the experience, not blowing your horn.

I too felt that your designs look unfinished, particularly in terms of the branding. They lack that professional tweaking. I’ll let you in on another secret – No professional will use slang in presentations…like “fav’s”. And please, no unnecessary exclamatory marks. Why should “My Designs!” have an exclamatory mark in the end? Clearly, I don’t see any professionalism in today’s youth!
Anyway, I’d like to wish you the best of luck in becoming a better Designer.

Hey hie Aashish ,

Hope you are doing good.

I had a word with you , remember ( management student )
I was at your LOGO DESIGN session at BcD5 & believe me it was far above my expectation

I could have complimented you that day itself , but you seemed occupied by many inquisitive geeks .
I liked some of your designs.

I wish NET Bramha a great year ahead !!

Regards
Aarti

Hey Ramesh!

Thanks so much for those pointers. I do admit I’am not a pro.

Will surely scale up to meet minimum benchmarks. Please let me know if you can help learn a few things?
May be few URL’s of use?

Really appreciate your honest view. Please mail me your email id.
Cheers.

Honestly you need to go much beyond before you call yourself a logo designer. Though your favourite logos are all popular and a class apart, the ones you had designed are quite unprofessional.

My personal suggestion is that you need to study better on the colors to be used on a logo (not all are viewed on just a computer monitor). Moreover, simplicity is the key. A brand developers first challenge is to express the idea, not impress the client.

Hoping to see much improved works from you

Thanks Deepan! Starters usually neglect their logos / brand or rather don’t get take out enough time for it. According to me it is also one of the important things to keep in mind.
