Hey guys,
Branding wise, we also feel that #1 and #4 are the best choices. It's great
that we're all on the same page. To answer the question of pros and cons of
each logo, here is a quick list:
Logo 1:
- More versatile because of its scalability; We think logo 4 will be
hard to discern once sized down; Logo 1 looks cleaner in website headers
with text
- Relevant because it has a matrix bracket
- It's a simplified version of the robot. Think of it as the batman
signal and the robot is batman.
Logo 4:
- More original because it has a personality
- Diverse in the actions it can perform because it can move, animate,
and be customized based on intent and use
- The robot is kind of cute and approachable
Our suggestion is to use both. Logo 1 is the simplified version of the
robot. Logo 4 is the personification of the logo used to explain concepts.
We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Regards,
Jason and the design team
P.S. In general, here are our guidelines for creating a great logo:
- *original* - something that stands out from competitors
- *relevant* - reflects the brand's mission and values
- *versatile* - look good in black and white, in different colors and
sizes depending on context (e.g. billboards, websites, t-shirts, toys,
business cards, etc)
- *memorable* - easily recognizable everywhere (e.g. mickey mouse, nike)
- *timeless* - not just based on what's currently popular
