Brief & logo match

From the original review
  • Local/municipal Identity

    Skyline and wordmark with traffic light reinforce local and community focus, but legibility severely impacts practical use.

1.5/5

Legibility

  • Basic text structure is discernible.
  • Extremely poor contrast makes the wordmark almost unreadable on white background.
  • Letter separation is weak; traffic light as 'I' is confusing without color contrast.
3/5

Originality

  • Traffic light for 'I' is a novel twist.
  • Town outline adds character.
  • Skyline concept is relatively generic.
  • Traffic light as letter device is clever but not unique.
2.5/5

Color harmony

  • Traffic light colors add visual interest.
  • Dominant use of white makes design impractical on white backgrounds and easily lost.

3/5

Balance alignment

  • Skyline aligns with top of the wordmark; composition is horizontally coherent.
  • Traffic light as 'I' disrupts end balance.
  • Skyline lacks boldness and fades next to colored dot detail.

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

2/5

Scalability

  • Simple lines and minimal detail.
  • Scalable as a vector concept.
  • Thin lines and pale coloring collapse at small sizes or on light backgrounds.

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.
