This is your take on the Red Bull logo.
Let's have a look.
So the red bull logo is an iconic design, and it's not been really.
I've never seen a redesign for fun on this.
But you can see here, it's very illustrative logo but
It's also got a really modern typeface to it as well.
With your one, you've gone a bit different.
You've made it.
You've kept the typeface, I believe.
You might have edited it slightly.
I like it. But you've also made the icon more in line and
cohesive with the typography.
There's a big debate happening over the design community and
they get a bit toxic sometimes where we see around designers
wanting really simplistic designs.
And then you hear people like me say, it's okay to be a bit
more detailed and illustrative sometimes.
The fact is, and I'm going to go full controversy here.
This logo is better than the original.
Now the reason why I'm saying that is not that it actually better.
But in a design standpoint, this is designed
much better, in my opinion. Because at scale it's seen better.
It's more cohesive.
It fits the rules a bit more, but it also breaks them
where it needs to be. This Red Bull logo
very very illustrative.
Aside from the typography.
Obviously, I'm just looking at the Bulls here.
There's a lot going on inside of this design.
It's got the balance in everything there but
It's doesn't really fit very well against the Red Bull typography.
Now there's going to be some people who say that's just wrong.
And the reason why saying that's wrong is because
marketing with logo design. You can have a really bad logo and
Mark it whatever the product is behind it. And market the brand
with a huge budget.
And then people will get used to that logo.
It's a really weird thing.
In fact, that's how most iconic logos that you know of now-iconic.
It is through either infamous or famous marketing employees and
people with big pockets, beep pockets, putting the money out to market to you.
So this one I really like.
Obviously there's a few things that I would change.
I would make the icon a bit smaller, just ever so slightly.
It looks a bit too big.
There's probably ways to make it look more like a bull at first glance right now.
It kind of looks like a house on a hill here for me
with smoke coming out, or that's a flu or something.
Typography, this current one
This is the new one.
Yeah.
See what you've done.
You've made it less condensed.
You've gone from on modern approach.
You sort of squished it down.
Looks really nice.
I like to see the sketch.
This is unreal work.
That is so cool.
I like seeing this.
And I like the mock-up here.
That's nice.
It would have been cool to see the mock-up in red.
I think the background is should be that red layer multiplied on.
So everything looks red.
And then you got the logo on the white.
So dude you are getting an award.
And you are actually going to get a big one.
You're going to get a platinum award. Because that is a great work.
Well done.
This next one is got 61 upvotes.
This is a personal logo and design that I've been working on.
I'm really happy with the design but I'm not sure about the colors.
In the animation
You can see the main logo falling into a sub logo.
In different platforms where I didn't want the my name to be public.
Be ruthless with the critique.
You want me to be ruthless.
I'm gonna be ruthless.
I guess, this is your personal brand logo so I've got no context.
So it doesn't make sense at all.
At first.
You wanted me to be ruthless.
I'm not going to rufus on the logo yet.
It's the presentation and the context.
If you want to critique, you have to have contexts.
No contexts, no critique. That's worth listening to. Aside from
I'm going to try and assume on this one that you're a graphic designer
Or a logo designer. That's making your own personal design.
First thing color in the background.
I'm not just looking at the logo here but the overall
background is way way way too desaturated, it's too pastelly.
I don't get it.
If you want to be a logo design in the modern world, I believe
unless you've got a specific reason and that should be
evident within the first design that the colors should be more
should be brighter.
In my opinion, I like the logo as well.
Looks pretty good.
But the problem is, it looks like a man in a wheelchair.
I'm not going to lie.
It looks like the disability logo.
This one here.
It kind of looks similar. Because of the way that you've got the shapes together.
So I would maybe either switch it around or do something a bit different.
I like the way that it looks though.
Color options here.
Yet, I like the black and white ones.
These look so much nicer
then these ones. Choose a different red.
I can't read this, but that's in your language.
But I love the gridding.
I love the way that you've shown this as well.
Then the sketch.
It really helps me understand how you've designed.
This looks very cohesive together.
I liked that a lot.
That shows a lot more concept.
Really, nice logo looks like a loading screen.
I like that.
I'm not too sure all the colors are coming from.
Let's see what the comments say.
Love it.
Super neat design.
The colors give me some sort of museum vibe though, that's true.
I'm not quite sure about the color palette.
I think I want to make a change in the colors
more saturated.
Yeah, I think the overall consensus is that the colors are a bit off.
They look kind of boring and that's because you've chosen a desaturated
more pastel color.
So aside from the disability icon, I think it looks good.
That might be a bit harsh.
But you did want ruthless.
So if you want a ruthless critique
Let me know.

Hi everyone.
I designed a simple logo.
Feel free to give feedback about the logo, will do.
Okay.
So just read, no context again.
I'm going to keep saying this.
You must provide context
What is the logo for? What's the company?
What do they do?
Because without that information, no one really knows
whether the design works or not.
I'm not going to give my first impression.
I'm going to give this guy's first impressions first.
Okay, first, the kerning is off, it is.
The E N A and I think the U N S all looks a bit off.
Also, the book part of the design doesn't feel smooth.
Try playing with the end of a single line.
That part there doesn't look like a book because you've gone
a bit that the curves are bit too extreme in such a small
space stays here.
But what I do really appreciate is the consistency in weight.
You've chosen the same weight here as the typography.
And I really like that the color palettes work super well.
I love the blue really simple design.
But yeah, the kerning is a huge problem with this one.
I think you've got to be really careful when using fonts.
If you don't know how to kern then you must learn straight away.
I don't know, if they teach this in design school but
Learning to kern correctly for a logo type is the first thing
That should naturally come to you when designing logos.
And if you can't do that yet, you need to learn before you
move on to the next step, I've got a video all about that
I'm going to link it down below in the description, if you'd like
to learn how to professionally kern.
The next one uploaded only six days ago is 49 upvotes.
Aerlinia logo design. Logo design for an airline company.
Love the context.
I've tried to make the logo modern minimal and iconic.
Visit Behance for full details.
Please provide your awesome feedback.
Oh, I will.
This feedback is going to be great and there's 20 slides.
Brilliant.
So first impressions are, I really like it other than the icon.
The reason why is not that I hate the icon or the icon is bad
it reminds me of a rocket ship, kind of like it's going really fast.
I love the typography.
And when I say I don't like the icon, it's not that I don't like it.
That's a bit harsh.
It's good.
I think it works, but it kind of looks like a mouse cursor
clicking on something, or a rocket breaking through.
The barrier of the atmosphere are really like this.
Actually now it's start to make more sense.
Probably judged it a bit too early there.
I like this.
The mock-ups.
Okay, so it's like a bird.
Okay, got you.
I like the way that using the orange all the way through is
like a very
fruity orange.
I love the typography, again.
The app icon works beautifully. Presented in a portfolio fashion.
This is why I was looking for the mock-up of the Aeroplane.
This is the dream for all designers to have that logo on
such a massive object that it is really nice.
It looks appropriate as well and professional.
It doesn't look too professional.
It's got the same amount of playfulness and casualness,
which is what I think you're trying to go for here.
Because this specific in the context that you've given, you haven't said
what sort of market this is for.
Again, I think this is for holidays, not for that business travel.
But obviously here you can see it can be for business travel.
Because you've got the gray and the orange, which worked beautifully together.
The whole thing including this, the mock-ups are really
what's making it works as a brand. Because you're not just showing the logo
You're showing the assets around that and how the brand assets work.
So the color, orange and the typography all the way around it.
This is a really nice mock-up.
I must get this one.
I am definitely giving you an award.
You are also getting a platinum award because that is really good.
