Logo debate

Hi Guys, im working on an app with some people and were having a bit of a debate on 2 logos so i thought i would come to the graphic community to ask your oppinion, the app is called linkcoach and we are an app that helps coaches of all activities be more productive with there students. basically i just want to see which one you like more maybe even leave a bit of comments and critism if you like

also it is not just for sports it is any activity ie. playing the piano

thank you all

ps. the colour isnt set yet just the design

I like both, the circle design doesn't give any indication that it has anything to do with sport though, that's why I voted for the man

neither work to be honest. the left one is generic enough to work for anything. the one with the man is just poor design although it conveys the app a little better

i have some good ideas if you want to shoot me a pm

yes but this is the problem i think it is not just aimed at sport haha i made them both but i now hate the man one haha

If it was between those two, i would choose the man as the circle design literally doesn't look like it would relate to the app at all

right sided man definitely!

the circle design shows sociality though, coming together as a network

the man indicates sports/coaching to an extent, as well as it looking more visually appealing

so i can see why either work to an extent, i'd agree that it doesnt really give any indication of what its about though(the first one)

I would like to know, just for learning purposes why you called the second logo a poor design, I ask this because at first glance it looked really good to me, I mean I've seen 10x worse designs. Can you please be more clear about why it is a poor design?

well for the first, you could confuse the link part to be a man grabbing another mans penis... or the coach molesting his student...



in the second there is just a lot to it. there are a lot of elements and shapes that add a lot of unnecessary clutter and just make the logo overall very confusing. the shapes are also very unartistic and the figure is poor. the spacing between the dismembered limbs isnt uniform and the elements are not balanced. the swooshes are distracting and do a bad job of conveying motion. it just doesnt make sense to me. i dont get coach or link from the image. it is just totally unrelated to the app name and looks amateurish. besides that it is not unique at all. you shouldnt copy other designs, even something so basic

Looool!!.

Okay now that you've pointed it out I see what you mean.

Well we don't know what happens between coaches and kids lol

Loooooooolll!!! xD xD

Of the two, there is a greater sense of relatability with it. It is universal, much like you describe what you want your app to be. It is also simple. I reckon that if people are downloading the app, they will already know what it is called and not have to figure out the name based off the logo. That being said, the first one works and it looks clean. A user will download the app by its name and then it is an easy learning curve to understand why the logo looks the way it does.



Of course this really isn't much to stress about. I mean if Nike can market a check mark and a slogan to "just do it" in a market for shoes then I am sure you can market whatever your dreams aspire.

Thanks guys all good comments taking them all into account

Bump

left

Wheres the option for they're both shit?

woah haha thanks for that very constructive critism

Speaking of shit, where my money at? :P



I think the first one would be ok if the inside shape would be changed to something less suspicious. Second one looks like something I've seen before.

you always there to knock people down. bro its for an app not going to be hung up in an art gallery, piss off
