started working for an ad agency startup, i didnt design the logo, but i designed everythign else, you guys like it? we have a military theme with our stuff (obviously)

 

Not trying to be an ass, but what does advertising have to do with tanks and M-16s? I don't get it.

Edit: And is that blood on the lower right hand side?

 

^ he said he has a military theme for his company.

 

Right, but does your company sell to the military? I just don't get the correlation of advertising and the military.

 

i don't know what the goal of the project is for or at what size the poster will be reproduced at, so why don't you tell us.

very artsy. i see you put some time into it so A for effort, but pending project goals it may be a little busy. if you did want that look, maybe try to make it a little more assymetric like tanks on one side and maybe 2 tanks on the other or no tanks. posters in general should be very clean as most people are walking by or driving by at like 40 mph as they pass them. you have made and art piece(which is not bad) vs an ad.

also the type on the logo is kind of clashing with the design. that logo looks soft, very earthlink-like. i know you didn't make it, but maybe the poster can help support the logo a little more. do you know what i am saying, it is kind of like earthlink meets iraq, i don't know. so if this is a corporate company they normally wouldn't go for this unless you "convinced" them. but if it was for the homies it looks really cool and would get the seal of approval. trust me i seen it before, corporate never really goes for the cool stuff, its amazing the crappy things they approve and what cool stuff they pass on.

but what do i know, i'm just yankin your chain, good work. i just stayed at a holiday inn express this weekend.

 

I would think that with the current geo-political situation, anything with an overt military theme would be a bit too polarizing, especially for a start-up trying to get business. Just my thoughts.

Definately agree with the two previous posts, just didn't want to type all that out.

 

i like the background, not a fan of all the military things and I think a nicer font would flow better. I havent layered it in photoshop to see if the text that reads " a higher standard in advertising" is symeterical to the logo but from eyeballing it, it looks unsymmeteric

 

well, FWIW it is not symmetrical, but it is close enough to where you may as well make it drastically different. i mean it is a cool piece.

maybe that logo doesn't need to be that giant if you want the focus on the other elements. but i would say it should be the other way around. if you want a big ass logo you should make the surrounding elements not as strong. right now its a big logo that looks like it is sharing time with the rest of the elements. hell, you could just make the poster just the logo if you want to keep it that large and just make a classy background that will make that logo pop, but right now might just have too much stuff going on.

i don't wanna sound like a dick and point out all this negative stuff, i don't want to discourage the OP, but a few changes and then its money. anyways in school i always loved hearing all the bad stuff and never listened to the good stuff as it wasn't as helpful.

it makes a cool wallpaper as of now though.

 

Doesn't do anything for me, why advertise a product that doesn't need advertising.
