It's not working on both Ecency and PeakD without a VPN... so prolly on my end! Right now, I'm reading your post on Hive Blog, and it's working perfectly.
As a designer myself, I was eager to see the images. I specialize more in Brand Personality, which is a strong suit in marketing. Logo design has always been a struggle for me, so it's great to see the BTS of someone who started from sketch. Thanks for sharing!
I love how your logo turned out, but I think the images could use some tweaking. They seem too shiny and striking for the minimalist flat logo you used.
The contrast is a bit jarring—while the logo exudes simplicity and clarity, the images' glossiness might distract from that clean aesthetic. Either a different imagery or keepign the same gloss with the favicon version of the logo might help. Just my 2 cents!
Finding a balance where the visuals complement rather than compete with the logo's style would enhance the consistency of the brand.
That being said, this was a helpful share and I !LUV it. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you were able to see the images at last.
It's so nice to meet a designer like you. I appreciate your words and I'm glad this was helpful.
I love how you did a breakdown of this post. It shows you’re a great professional in what you do. I have learned and discovered where you pointed out those little mistakes and sure will take note next time I am working on another branding project. We can only get better.
I am glad I shared this here so people like you can help review it and we can learn from it.
Thank you so much @janwrites
You're welcome! I followed you so I can be on a lookout for more of your posts like these. It's very rare on Hive. This has been an enjoyable read!
Awww. Thank you so much, my friend. I followed you back. You're a designer too, right? I will be looking forward to seeing your posts about them too.
