My logo


Phew... Obviously making a logo in Illustrator is much harder than drawing it by hand (got to buy a pentop soon... oh, wait, I forgot... I HAVE NO MONEY T_T). Anyway, I finally finished it. Compared to the earlier version, the idea is quite the same I did made some modifications, though. Oh, and before reading the explanation, why don't you take a look at the logo first, see if your way of reading it match mine ^^.

Explanation:


The idea is that the combination between the two dragons, the moon and the letter "D" on the outside will make up the image of an eye with glasses. The dragon were twisted because I think it is fun that way (^^) besides it makes the logo looks more artistic. The tail of the dragon underneath the moon made up the rim of the glasses. It also help to create the letter "Đ" in Vietnamese (with a dash) which the initial letter of my name. I choose to use dragons because it is much easier to use it to draw the eye (if you ask me why I don't use eels or snakes, come on, dragons are much cooler, no? there is also another reason). Dragon is my Chinese zodiac sign. About the moon, well, because I like the moon. I use the brush stroke because I think it match with the colors I chose (which seem to carry a lot of eastern spirit). That's it!!! Thanks for your reading!!!

Oh what else can I say? I've been praising a lot of logos today, and can't even find one that has something to criticize on T__T... hey man why couldn't you do it worse so I'd take my chance to be a little critical? lol... well anyway I deeply love your humor as ever, and of course the logo perfectly expresses yourself with an eye, glasses, "coolie" dragons (I'd prefer cobra tho ... :P) and, yay, the letter D (srry no Unikey is installed atm) -__-

Wow, looks like calligraphy- cool! I like the black one better (well the colot black makes it more like calligraphic characters).That kind of stroke along with the dragons give an Asian style. The way you use color and the way you draw the dragon add youthfulness to the image. Very memorable. Well, there is a reason for the moon's appearance there. You are a Cancerian too, right? Then you're moon's son- like me, moon's daughter. He he.

Wowwwwwww, your logo is really special. Its meaning is also very interesting. When I first saw you, I used to think that you were a bookworm:D.But then your liking of Mange and anime let me know more about you.
And this time your logo, once again, makes a deep impression on me:D

Oh, I forgot telling you that it's really skillful in combinating the image of two dragons which looks strong with the image of glasses which is so formal:D.Congratulations!

A little bit difficult to read the meaning you want to express,you know why, this icon looks too busy, the brust line is too thick...haha, i guess it's enough then the last thing I can say: I can see you in this icon...cheers!!!

At the first glance, I think your logo is quite difficult to see and understand. Now, I think it's meaningful and skillfully made. I can't really think of myself in abstract idea, so I admire people with deep mind and wide imaginary.

Great stuff. I can't decide if I like the black or the green one better. But I'm going with the black as it's one of my favorite colors. I like how the brush strokes give it a more ancient look.
