Logo performance breakdown

4/5

Legibility

  • Text is bold, readable, and well-contrasted against the orange background.
  • Font size and spacing make the main words easy to distinguish.
  • The shadow/outline around the text creates slight visual noise and reduces sharpness.
  • The playful ligatures and wave underline could distract at small sizes.
3/5

Originality

  • Combination of a sunburst backdrop and playful typography gives some personality.
  • Wavy underline nods to the marina/sea theme.
  • Sunburst backgrounds and wave elements are commonly used in local retail and farmers' market branding, giving a generic vibe.
  • Typography lacks a custom or highly distinctive touch; could easily be replicated.
3/5

Color harmony

  • Color theme suits a friendly, vibrant market environment.
  • Contrast between orange and blue adds energy.
  • Too many color treatments (gradients, outlines, multiple blues) introduce visual clutter.
  • White text on bright orange can cause some legibility issues at a distance or small scale.

3/5

Balance alignment

  • Typical central alignment creates visual focus.
  • Weight is distributed around the circle motif.
  • 'Market' and 'Marina' are much larger than 'on the', causing some imbalance.
  • The wavy line at the bottom feels tacked on and doesn't align with the text flow.
  • Size hierarchy between 'Market' and 'Marina' feels awkward rather than intentionally structured.

Inspect spacing with the guide. Optical balance may differ from geometric centering.

2/5

Scalability

  • Clear and impactful at large sizes such as banners, posters, or signage.
  • Excessive detail and text make it hard to scale down to small applications like social media icons, business cards, or embroidery.
  • Sunburst gradient may not reproduce well in one color or low-res print schemes.
  • Wavy underline loses purpose at small sizes.

Blur & silhouette

A 3px blur softens fine details so you can check whether the overall shape stays recognizable. If key gaps close or elements merge, the logo may rely too heavily on detail.
