Thoughts on my new logo!?

First, MLF, horizontal or vertical reads MiLF.

MiLF MiLF MiLF MiLF MiLF

All day long.
Six ways to Sunday.
Once you see it you can't NOT see it.
MiLF


Okay, now that I got your MiLF logo outta my system...
There's a little thing called the fair use act.

Then lookit this:

And tell me if I'm going to jail or not:

I think you're good.
Make the little icon guy+camera on sticks a skosh bigger. The head needs to juuuuust touch the top.

Next... Um... How can I say this without being too obtuse... Your written grammar is going to make you look waaaaaay more unprofessional than the logo or a great looking video to a cr@ppy song.
Waaaaaay.
Public education. Hard at work.
(I'm not even gonna go back and point the plethora of errors out. Not a GD soul here or anywhere (one word) enjoys the [expletive] grammar (not grammer) police (not polise).
Umm... I dunno.
That.
:blush:

I tweaked it a little bit. Cleaned it up. etc.

The original font was horrid, IMO. Not easy on the eyes and overall placement just didn't work with the vertical text.

The camera man was out of place too. Looked like something from a clip art cd produced back in 1991.

So yeah. I added my expertise or the lack of, and mocked up my version that I thought had a little better impact.

wow nice i like the way you did it!
 
And in my opinion, who cares if this logo resembles the Major League Baseball logo. Use it until you get slapped on the wrist. They will have to send a cease and desist letter notifying you of the copyright, etc. And I doubt they will even bother... Unless you start gaining some major recognition with the company, I wouldn't worry about it.

If the MLB does come after you, it would make a good conversation piece.
 
You know TC, I don't think Ray was being an asshole. I was going to point it out as well, but decided you were really young. He makes a good point. In any field, employers and colleagues expect you to have a good grasp of the country's language.

Whilst this may be true, I really think there's a time and a place for grammar pedantry.

I'm sure if brettzdamn was submitting a job application he would take more time and care over it (as would we all) than you do if you're just looking for feedback on an internet forum. As far as I'm concerned; if you can read it then it's not worth commenting about.

I was thinking about that, and the only thing was If i do start creating a buzz and start getting known, then i have to change my name and start all over again?

There is a (really great) minimal electronica act that used to be called Panasonic. Put out a few records, got lots of notice in their pretty small niche. The company eventually told them to change their name (as if people would return a television and say "I didn't like this tv's third album"), so they became Pan( )sonic, with their first album under that name being called A. Didn't hurt them at all; again, tiny niche, but they remain as popular as they ever were and got a good story out of it!

But its not like im calling my company "Major League Baseball" :lol:

I was thinking if anything they might make me change the logo not the name? but then again i have no clue what the laws are about that type of stuff
 
They may do more than make you change your logo. Let's say you win a major award for directing that music video and you flash your logo on Entertainment Tonight and land a $$$ gig directing the next Boys II Men (LOL!) video.

MLB will have to sue for monetary damage because you now made money off a logo that resembles theirs. If they don't protect their copyright, it opens the door for others to do the same.

Why waste that Boys II Men money on lawyers?

I gotta agree about the MiLF thing.

Ignore the grammar police.

Brett -
I apologize.

Honestly, I don't care about anyone's spelling and grammar. Really.
I'm not busting your balls.
I'm (failing miserably) trying to communicate that professionals with whom you will petition for deals and contracts will note the "whole package" that is presented to them which will include seeming irrelevant stuff like spelling & grammar.
Those things don't have a d@mn thing to do with your shooting and editing.

I could goto work wearing a fluffy pink fru-fru ballerina dress and drag queen makeup to perform my tasks just fine. But... WTH's it matter what I wear?
Shouldn't, but it does.

Likewise, grammar Nazis can go suck lead from my .45.
If I can't remember if "tomorrow" has two "m"s or two "r"s in it WTH's it matter? Seriously.
My fave word to bugger is "occur". Or is it one "c" and two "r"s? Without spell check I can't ever remember.

Spelling & Grammar tragedy on an internet forum? Cool. You're gold. Seriously. I don't care.
Spelling & Grammar tragedy in your professional correspondence? Bad. This (stupid) stuff matters.

I am working with you on your "whole package".
I am not the grammar Nazi.
I'm bringing to your attention that there are grammar Nazis in the professional environment.
However, it seems you're good.
My mistake.
I'll step back, now.

Again, I apologize.

BTW, asshole is one word. :lol: ;)

Whew!
Deal.

I want to be the friend at work that tells you you have broccoli in your teeth or your fly's down when you ask me/us to look over a TPS report before you turn it in.
You ask about one thing... and get that plus something else in return.

A friend tells you your fly's down.
And the friend replies "Yeah, I know. I'm getting some fresh air but am gonna zip it up before I walk in the boss' office".

:lol:

(The not-a-friend-at-all doesn't say anything and just lets you walk around all day with your fly down and TP stuck to your shoe).
