What to fix first

Focus on the changes that matter. Keep what makes the logo work.

1

Refine the 'O' to enhance clarity—it currently looks less like a letter and more like a decorative element. Consider making it more immediately recognizable as an 'O'.

High priority Medium effort

The main business name must be instantly readable, especially for new clients.

Improves legibility and wordmark unity, key for brand recognition.

2

Adjust weight and balance between the left ('NA') and right ('O') parts for better symmetry.

Medium priority Low effort

Imbalances draw attention away from the full brand and can look amateurish.

Elevates professional polish and visual harmony.

Not scored

Brief & logo match

Visual style matches creative/graphic design industry; playful, hand-drawn aesthetic fits a creative business.

3/5

Legibility

  • 'DESIGN GRAPHIC' in all-caps and clearly readable
  • The 'NAO' part is bold and stylized, which may hinder quick reading, especially the 'O' resembling a swoosh/spiral.
3/5

Originality

  • Hand-drawn, playful type gives some personality.
  • Overall style is not highly distinctive; 'O' resembles clip-art swirl.
4/5

Color harmony

  • Limited palette; black and brown work together consistently.

4/5

Balance alignment

  • Good weight distribution between 'NAO' and 'DESIGN GRAPHIC'.
  • 'O' visually separated and slightly unbalanced relative to the rest; bottom curve of 'N' may feel heavy.

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

3/5

Scalability

  • Simple color palette supports one-color versions.
  • Thin line in the 'O' might vanish at small sizes; bold shapes may merge when scaled down.
4/5

Misinterpretations

  • No inappropriate or embarrassing shapes detected.
  • 'O' is abstract and might be misread as a different symbol, but not in an offensive way.
