Logo review of YAKOMA

Legibility

Text 'YAKOMA' is highly legible, with excellent contrast against the black background
Typeface is bold and eye-catching, perfect for team branding

Scalability versatility

Bold lines and simple forms ensure legibility at medium to large sizes
Mascot and bold text are suitable for apparel, signage, and digital graphics

Detailed facial linework may lose clarity at small scales (favicons, small embroidery)
Metallic gradient effects may not reproduce well in all print or monochrome applications

Balance alignment

Strong symmetrical composition between the wolf’s head and the circle provides visual stability
Wordmark is well-aligned beneath the mascot, achieving a cohesive and powerful look

Originality

Wolf head has unique stylization, especially with line details and circular framing

Wolf mascots and bold collegiate typefaces are common in sports branding; design does not break new ground conceptually

Logomark wordmark fit

Logomark and wordmark share a consistent bold, strong visual style
Color palette and outlines are matched across both components

Aesthetic look

Visually impactful and professional appearance
Color gradient adds depth without excessive decoration

Slightly busy due to internal line detailing on wolf's face

Dual meaning and misinterpretations

Clear intended symbolism with no inappropriate double meanings

Color harmony

Consistent use of metallic gold and black creates a unified and striking effect
