We ought to adjust this review process so the submitter can tell us about this company. I don’t know anything about this company, but I like this logo. It’s very simple, 2-color, well-balanced. I don’t usually like italics for logos but in this case it really works. I’d only move the lower-case O to the left just a skoash.

Hello everyone, thanks for the response. I have been watching this space for some time now! Was very happy when I finally saw it online.
About the logo that I created. Odegos is the Greek word for guide or leader. That’s where the little man idea came from. It will be the logo for a web development project.
Thanks for the comment about the “o”, will look into that.
Yours truly

I agree with Paul’s critique, however, if you take care of a few execution problems you will have a great logo! The first item is the radial blend around the neck of the little guy, try removing the blend and replacing it with the solid gold color. Second, give the icon a little more space from the name of the company. And possibly third, remove the drop shadows from both elements, or just the drop shadow of the icon… Looking good!

Great Start. I see the guy, but not sure whether he is bending over the O with his arms backward, or leaning backward towards the O with his arms stretched forward. If he’s leaning towards the O it’s a little overbearing. He almost seems as if he’s hovering over it like a predator. As per Brads comments, I agree with the shading. Play around with this guy and see how strong you can make this mark without the shading. I like the font, it has a nice flow although I too think you should loose the drop shadow, and yes it’s a bit tight to the man. Nice peice, your on your way.

When creating a logo it is necessary to consider how and where this logo will be used in the future. For signage or embroidery you may run into problems with gradients. As someone mentioned before - the gradient isn’t necessary. It makes a somewhat awkward icon look even more awkward. I disagree with comments about being properly balanced. The icon is too close to the type and it makes the left side really heavy. There is a disconnect between the styles of the icon and the type - they don’t seem to jive. The type is classic and the icon is following a more modern theme. I’m all for contrasting elements, but it’s not quite there yet. One of the things I try to do is design a logo first in black (no gradients, drop shadows etc.) If it works in black, then I can start applying color. I find that very rarely is a gradient or shadow necessary if the basic logo is strong in the first place.

Hello every one! I can’t express my thanks to you all. Your comments are most uplifting! I’m learning alot all the time and am joung at this. It would be nice to send the logo to you all again if I have made the changes. But it dose not seem possibel with the functunality of this site. Thanks again for your help, support and ideas.
Greetings

Chris,
That’s a great idea. Why don’t you send your logo to me after you make the changes and I’ll repost it in this blog.
