Feedback needed - irish dance logo project
-
@jenn After I read that it's a cat I wondered if you added a second ear then maybe it would read as a cat better. Maybe try a more paw-like hand?
-
Update on the cat after some time spent in vector land:
What do you think?
Still working on the letters, painfull process....
-
@kim-hunter You were right, a second ear seems to work and it's not cartoonish as I feared!
-
@oana agreed, the 2nd ear makes it much more recognizable as a cat
-
One more step... It's a vector now! I just still feel like readjusting every point a 100 times... and I still need tomake some color variants, this is the red scheme the school already had, I'm not sure which other way to go... Opinions welcome, your previous input was very helpfull!
-
@oana This is very nice and professional looking… Great Job
-
@oana I agree with @DoodleMick very pro! I really like the twisty ribbon effect, it adds drama and flair

Hi there, Late comment coming in. I've been watching the progress and I think it's coming together well. My one issue is that I think you're losing the readability of the "s" in shay. If I hadn't known it was an "s " I could have read it as an r,n, or s.
-
@larue Good point and you are right, I'll have to go over that once more! Ugh letters are so difficult!
-
@jenn Thank you! I tried to incorporate the twisty effect as a celtic element, it's much used in dance dress designs
-
Sorry for the late comment - the latest version looks amazing. My comment - and only because reading it as a cat was discussed so much - is on the legs of the cat. They are human-like at the moment, and it might be worth trying to do an indication of feline leg anatomy, even if very subtle. If you have completely straight legs, it's fine due to simplification, but once you add a bend (especially the knee, like you have) or anatomical curve/muscle, then you're kind of committing to a species at that point. May be worth sketching out quick. (If I didn't catch that it's supposed to be this way, I'm sorry)
-
@oana I think it looks great, especially with the two colors.
-
Looks like the project is ready, here is how the final version turned out:
I also isolated the S with the cat, might be used on its own:
At present all looks good and we're happy, we still have to see the logo "in action".
All comments and suggestions received here were very helpful to me, thanks!!!!
-
@tonydupreart I get what you were saying. I smoothed out the leg shapes and though I am not sure it indicates "more feline" it does look better more stilised!
-
Well done @oana!
-
@oana This was fun to see this come together. Thank you for sharing, and the final looks great!

@Oana Great job! I am so sad that I am just now seeing this. I love all the help you got and I think they definitely got you in the right place. What a fun project!
