And like others even I would like to know how you finalized on this logo design. Is this something you always had in mind or you just came up with it all on a sudden. Hi Aron

Johno – News is, I removed the underscore… then put it back again. That’s not to say it wont be emmitted again.

The logo is for my personal publicity material (business cards, etc) and personal portfolio website. It’s not for this site, which is more of a networking site for me than a portfolio site.

I need to have the new site up and running within two weeks, hence all my energy is going on the website now, and not on the logo. If I get time to, I might look at that underscore again.

Did you tweak the above one further? You'll use it on this site? Any news on the logo, Aaron? Did you tweak the above one further? You’ll use it on this site?

I'm curious to know what the 5 colored circles meant to you. Usually, there is always a story behind a logo. Nike has a goddess legend, Addidas has a "mountain" story. What's yours? This logo can very well be an ice-breaker in a social environment. I would definite ask :) I can understand your explaination to Tara on balancing. Still, the logo is you, the type font is also you, why separate them with a line? Overall, I like this logo better as it eludes more personality than the rather clinical treated version 1.

Also, I experimented with moving the underscore last night... and didn't like it. I'm going to have another play tonight, but need to move on to other projects too. Therefore I may end up going against everyone's advice and leaving the underline in... However, I'd like to thank everyone for your input over the last two posts concerning this personal logo. I'm actually really happy with this design, so I'm especially thankful for the tips that helped move me on from the previous design.

And I agree with other posters re the underscore. I also think that it would be interesting choose one of the colours from the circle-composite "A" to use for your name. You're definitely heading in the right direction. It's nice to be able to share in the creative process, so thanks for posting.

To be honest, I envisage using the circles a bit flexibly depending on where I'm using them. Sometimes they might be smaller, sometimes bigger. Glad you too are a fan of the Garamond... does it make your knees go wobbly too? David – I can assure you it’s not the most interesting thing you’ll ever read, but it should be in your inbox now :)

I think you're heading in the right direction though! The typography is elegant and bold at the same time.
