I like the first one. The second bull's head doesn't quite look like a bull for me. I like the minimalistic form of the font, maybe this ® sign is a little too big. And I would maybe made this bull a little smaller. And I think there's something wrong with the quality. But I'm not sure if it's because of this preview image. Is this bull's head vector?

Just a word of caution, thin fonts like this one aren't always the best to use for logos. So be careful :eek:

congrats on your recent wins routh. That inspire greatness logo turned out looking nice in the end once you removed the gradients.

Just be careful with the hair thin fonts, you don't need to make them too much heavier but you can add a little bit of weight by adding a thin stroke.

Vast improvement though mate, very impressive, keep going and there will be a lot of gold for you!

Thanks Routh - that's kind of you to say!

Regarding thin fonts - it's not a matter of taste - I like thin fonts too, but they are not good for logos when you do not know all of the circumstances in which they will be used. Google the reasons :)

Take the outlook logo as an example - you will see that although they sometimes use thin fonts for screen, the font on the official logo is actually much heavier. I think you'll find this is the case for all.

If you use thin fonts in your logo designs then it would be best to supply the CH with a thicker alternative as well.

I think the major problem with thin fonts is when it comes to any kind of printing. I had a client dead set on a thin font....ok did as client requested then comes time for some vinyl cutting....HA no way. guess who had to pay more to fix this issue! This fonts are impossible to read from a distance and with logos this is an absolute must when you have signage on cars/trucks buildings, they might be ok for the web but in real life they need the extra stroke or shadowing or something....
