Springleap - People

shoutOut on 4/8/10 by SmithMachine in

Springleap as a name doesn’t even begin to tell the story of what the business is about. It doesn’t immediately conjure up any images or ideas that would lead to a concept for the design, other than the ‘spring’ and ‘leap’. Neither of which have anything to do with Design, T-shirts, artists, are online.
I think that’s why we’re all struggling to nail this one.

I tried to go with the spring and be bouncy, but it didn’t work. So I kept at it… My bouncy line then turned into people… And people is what Springleap is about. Us designers.
I just wish I had more time to take the idea further. But I don’t. So here it is… My ‘unfinished’ springleap logo attempt.

mcwolke I don’t have a myspace account and to be honest, I don’t know a single person who does.
I don’t even know what the myspace logo looks like, so no I didn’t copy it.
Total coincidence.

Sorry to say this, but you copied the myspace-Logo. I’m not saying intentionally, but the three people are the myspace-Logo reversed with a 4th added.

Thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated. I agree, and I still feel the design could go further and become much better. Your suggestions are spot-on.
The people need work!
As far as the colour goes, I was going to do it in black on a white T. If a good design works in black on white, it should work on any colour. And I guess the whole point of the design is for a new Springleap logo, not just a kick-ass looking T-shirt.
Thanks again.

I see what JJJ is talking about. Maybe if the men were all thinking, via 1 big single thought bubble,about design. Maybe a t-shirt symbol. Keeping it the same clean style!

Hmmm yes iz cool, quite simple though
maybe the men should be done differently or something?

I like this concept as it reminds me of an online community – which is what Springleap is partially about – but something is missing, whether it’s the shirt colour or lack visual excitment I’m not sure. I do however like where this could go with a little more application.

Its simple and cool – i wouldnt say the blue has anything to do with Springleap though…
