I'm Taking Charge. Ideas for the New Site

[CelestialRender]

Looks pretty good so far. And it keeps the essential bottom-up structure, which every attempt to "take charge" has failed to do so far.

Better or worse?

I really like the new graphic but I do think the buttons should be changed to match it.

This is troublesome. And, what's with the black fist? Looks more like something from Che Guevara to me!

I agree. Folks, please be careful about these types of logos. While you may believe that clinched fists are a great deal, the Baby Boomers, of which I am a part, were raised with that raised clinched fist being akin to a Communist salute.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but I don't think that is the connotation we want to make.

And what is the deal with the 5 stars and the fire? Seriously? What is this symbolism supposed to mean? Please be very careful. The symbolism that I am seeing right now on defcreative's logo, will DRIVE OFF a large part of the older generation. At least those who are not Marxists.

Somehow, the stars on that logo, remind me of what is on the Communist China flag.

Just another small variation.

your graphic skills are top notch.

but I am gonna be real here. the branding is, well, not good. this is the type of logo you would see on the bottom of a skateboard on or on spiketv. this isn't about all of that.

If you want to create a real movement. A real brand, and you want people to take you serious then you need your branding to reflect all patriots. That logo is for 20somethings and /or late teens. Remember, this isn't about the quality of your logo, but what it represents.

This isn't some "cool" new thing like "burnlounge" or hip. This is about America. You don't even have the "red white and blue" in there. People will not identify with this, they just won't. Its a young/childish vibe.

my opinion only. not thrashing. I know you have the skillset to really touch upon something nice. I just dont think this is it.

I would LEAVE out the hand and perhaps make your fire, the colors of "red white and blue" - then that would sorta make more sense.. perhaps integrate the liberty hand holding the torch... instead of the fist.

Good ideas and input!

That's some excellent suggestions. There is red, white, and blue in the actual site color scheme that I am designing right now, so I think you would be more happy with what is being produced as we speak. I am going for a friendly "clean" layout that will be inviting, bright, and not intimidating.

What you are quoting was merely an exhibition, but your assertions were right on point. I wasn't planning on using the hand version of the logo, it was just something that came to mind while I was having fun in illustrator so I went with it.

Thank you for your suggestions, and no offense taken whatsoever. I love constructive criticism and that was some VERY constructive criticism.

Keep it coming!

You may want to check out what's going on with Freeople.com (www.freeople.com). There are plans to launch a site very soon on a very solid technology platform. Sounds like there could be some sharing between efforts.

Better or worse?

I personally like the green color the best.

A quick update on the project.

--------------------------------------------

I am planning on using the domain name: thepeopleunite.com

Here is a few rough variations of the logo:

I will showcase the design for the layout of the website soon. Expect revisions in the logo as colors will most likely be changing among other things as I finish designing the site.

I'm tired and I'm going to get some sleep, feel free to comment on it.

I get a whole communist vibe from your banners.

I get a whole communist vibe from your banners.

That was just the very rough initial concept, not intended to be taken seriously for production.

These on the other hand are..
