　　tutorial Software: Photoshop CS 2

Concrete Examples:

One of my clients asked me to redesign a new logo for his game website, and here is a screenshot of the logo and the head of the site he's currently using:

Note: The blue laguna.net in the upper-right corner of the screenshot and the following slogan is the symbol he is currently using.

Evaluation: The biggest problem with the existing logo is not easy to identify. When the visitor comes to the website, the first eye should see the logo. We know that everyone is accustomed to reading from left to right, and this logo is on the right side and is used in close proximity to the blue, very difficult to detect.

and the original logo design without any inspiration, just use the Times New Roman font, no visual impact, so it is not easy to impress visitors.

OK, this is the status quo, let's see how I design a new logo!
