Art from Vector Class + GDU sig

[rgangsta 43]

So, at my Saturday class, Raster/Vector Art, I have to complete a logo project for a pretend (but real...) client. I have to redesign their exiting logo. I got club KLUTCH from a raffle. This is my first time ever working in Illustrator seriously. The first logo has to be just typeface while the second has to be typeface with an icon. I'll just show the first one since it's all I got so far.

 

Take a look and let me know what you think.

 

 

Since the club is in Miami, I went for a bright, vibrant and tropical look. I hear that warm places use a lot of hot colors, so I tried putting that into the logo. I also turned the "u" into a cup with a straw in it. Here's the club's actual logo.

I also made a GDU sig for advertising on other sites last week. I never got the time to make a topic so here it is!

A little off-topic...

 

I've been listening to a lot of the soundtrack from Sleeping Dogs lately and Lorn has turned out to be my most favorite artist (I already liked Flying Lotus). Here's the song "Soft Room" from Sleeping Dogs and a very recent track, "Weigh Me Down" which I found today while working on that logo. :D

For the Klutch logo. I think Klutch needs to get rid of their logo and go with yours. Def way better.

 

The GDU Banner is awesome.

 

 

I like the Soft Room a lot, the other song is good but not as good in my opinion.

:D Thanks, Wyzrd! I'm gonna start on the second logo once I have enough criticism.

The GDU banner is great! I wouldn't know how to animate it like that :P I'm planning a little page where I'll have some pre-made banners and some PSD files with our branding elements in case people want to use them.
