What to fix first
The most important fixes to handle before polishing the full presentation.
1
Thicken or simplify the thin strokes in the 'MANGOLD' wordmark to improve small-size clarity.
High priorityCurrent thin strokes risk legibility at practical sizes for packaging or web avatars.
Impact: High · Effort: Medium
2
Reduce visual gap between the logomark and wordmark for tighter vertical integration.
Medium priorityClosing the gap will help visual cohesion and unity.
Impact: Medium · Effort: Low
3
Explore alternate, slightly more unique abstraction for the symbol to avoid generic impressions.
Low priorityA more distinct shape could further separate the brand from similar ceramics or wellness marks.

Detailed review
Logo performance breakdown
Legibility
'MANGOLD' is generally readable and distinctive. 'CERAMICS' is clear and well-spaced.
Tall, narrow letterforms in 'MANGOLD' reduce readability at small sizes.
Originality
Custom abstract mark adds uniqueness. Distinctive wordmark with high character.
Abstract wavy mark is slightly generic and could relate to common motifs in ceramics or wellness brands.
Color harmony
Earthy, harmonious palette appropriate for ceramics. Sufficient contrast between foreground and background.

Balance alignment
Cohesive vertical composition with centered elements. Mark size is visually balanced to the wordmark.
Mark could feel slightly disconnected above the wordmark due to a significant gap.
Scalability
Mark uses clean, bold shapes that hold up when scaled. Color scheme works in one color.
Serif details and thin lines in the wordmark may lose clarity at very small sizes.
