okay it might be cuz it's like nearly 4am and im going out of my mind a little but can i PLEASE nominate the tianjin optometric center for favorite logo design of the fuckin year

It:

is deeply visually distinctive

can easily be adjusted for vertical, horizontal, rectangular, square shape as needed

recognizable in any colour

frieze patterns BEAUTIFULLY in a way that's reminiscent of traditional pottery or woodcarving

and here's the kicker:

it's the symbol that this hospital uses on all of their visual test charts

at this center, you don't read what each letter is on the seeing chart, you indicate what direction the E is facing

I want to be clear that I’m talking about this not to be mean, but because it’s something that has bothered me for years now, and have wanted to talk about for a while.

This Spindlehorse logo:

Is (in my opinion™) one of the least appealing designs for a logo and icon I have ever seen. I think it is so poorly designed, to the point that it took me around 1–2 years to finally see what it was—the “spindle horse” crammed into a tiny box.

Even then, the only reason I was able to figure it out is because I finally saw a version of it that was bigger. It looks even more muddled when it’s smaller—which I would assume is usually how people see it, and was the only place I saw it for a long time:

The way its legs are SO THIN makes them just look like zig zagging lines—the way they’re cut off by the circular logo kept me from realizing they were even connected to the body. They look really random and it’s completely unclear as to what they are.

The horse’s mane being the same color as the background heart kept me from realizing it was supposed to be just that, and the horses head is so slim and it’s eye is so big that I thought its head was part of the trademark big eyelashes a lot of Hellaverse characters have. 

For the longest time I thought the logo was like. An owl type bird’s profile? But a really weird abstract one—with the horses’s mane being the beak and then the horses head being the eyelashes?

Even then, I still had NO idea what it was supposed to be, until I saw the larger/non-cut off version of the logo. The heart in the background is also weirdly off center? Not that everything HAS to be centered but it doesn’t really add much to the overall design. It’s just a random heart in the background.

What’s odd to me though is that Spindlehorse DOES have, what I consider to be, another logo that is much easier to understand visually while also being WAY more appealing:

I really like this logo! I think it’s really well designed!

You can see clearly what it is, it has a really nice form and use of empty space. I love that the hip bone is also a little heart, it gives the design a little bit of extra character to it.

It is a simple design that is still unique and really pleasant to look at. You can immediately tell what it is, and even though the design is simple, it has enough variation to give it a personality, like the heart hipbone or the curl in the horses’s tail.

I just. Have NO idea why this isn’t the logo or icon used on all their channels. I think it’s genuinely a really good logo, and it’s weird to me that it’s not the logo used for Spindlehorse’s shark-robot shop and YouTube channel.

Obvs the company can use whatever logo they like, but I just find it REALLY ODD that the official channel continues to use the old one.

How I go to sleep remembering Oda said in a modern setting Franky would be a pilot and Robin would be a flight attendant so therefore Frobin is real:

it's probably decently obvious that my main lemon demon design was created BEFORE seeing any fandom depictions (or even really that much official art past the logo) because of how violently he stands out in comparison to other designs. it's a little obvious that my inspiration was self-contained and it granted me a bit of creative freedom along with a completely different train of thought while designing him. his three eyes however is very much a relic of 2022 because I was designing a lot of demons with asymmetrical faces at the time and well, why not make another

anyway here's a comparison of him to my most recent lemon demon original design (where it's a bit more obvious I was influenced by somewhat of a fandom culture)

extra bonus rambling under the cut

my general design process has actually stayed relatively contained with a few exceptions like soft fuzzy man's color and weirdly neil himself. yeah sorry chat neil is the first guy that was highly influenced by someone else's design you can shoot me too if you'd like. but I legitimately believe he's the only real example because every other character that has a design remotely similar to someone else is likely due to us both following a similar source material (like my cabinet design being based off polybius) or there being only so many ways to interpret the design (gef the mongoose would've fallen into this category if it wasn't for the fact I made him Joker colors)

in general I tend to follow a mindset of how "weird" I can make a design or how much I can push a lyric/implement it into a design. I also like to twist around the convention and try new things. a good example of both of these apply to my doctor amnesia design.

really the main things going through my head were "well he didn't state HOW many eyes", chosing an eye color that often is overlooked in conventional beauty standards to elevate them and cause you to think, while leaning into the somewhat otherworldly nature she's depicted in by giving her blue skin, a color I associate with the song.

another fun thing I'll do is create a "design pipeline" where I'll take an attribute and run it through a list of connections before we end up in a place long past where we started or just combining a bunch of traits that could be interpreted that way, resulting in designs like this.

though wolfgang isn't my weirdest design, he definitely did not start where we ended off. I believe before the wizard of oz theming for clown circus was set in stone (a choice that has EVERYTHING to do with oz explodes and an element I'll explain later), he was some kinda mirror object head that had absolutely nothing to do with his current namesake. since I wasn't satisfied with that design, I kept a relative aspect of the personality and shapes and thus ended up creating a really interesting take on a character who is largely depicted as... well there's no really good way to say this, but Bad.

since I was working with a new fresh aspect I started by making him a wolf... and then connecting him to "there's a robot in my head". this kind of connected the dots to ultimately make him associated to the tin man, since no one was connected to that character for the wizard of oz element and it was up for grabs (this is also how he somehow got associated with toasters via connecting the previously mentioned song to "what's in the toaster", etc etc). these pipelines of connecting songs that aren't normally related, but making them Work in a believable way makes designs more interesting for me and gives them a bit more purpose and personality. I think this is what ultimately makes people get a bit lost on my interpretations considering they aren't super simple by just being about One Song, but by being about multiple that aren't originally related in the source material. just like how I connected dr amnesia to when he died, explaining a bit of her more mildly supernatural or off-putting elements by making the man in that song her father.

the final real design element that I focus on is the strange rule I follow in terms of how these characters are shaped. there's a massive sort of "alice in wonderland" theming going on in terms of how human/humanoid designs look in contrast to designs that look less and less human. their proportions become more cartoon and shaped, their sizes are affected etc etc all while the human/humanoid characters stay relatively normal next to each other with more believable design elements.

here's the horrid long strip of nearly 100 different character renders next to each other to get a general idea on what I'm talking about

the silhouettes of the human characters "pop" less because they're supposed to contrast to their nonhuman counterparts. which isn't something I normally do, but given the source idea of a sort of "wonderland", I think it works in this specific context.

in conclusion: I'm design autistic and like to use designing to try new things, which is why I fucked that lemon up. sorry about that chat

More art inspired/for @playedcrowd5610 ‘s Danny phantom x transformers fic. Sorry not sorry, I’m having a blast drawing them. Though I may have gotten a little to into the bottom part lmao

This one is pretty self explanatory, Danny’s grumpy Soundwave won’t let him help, one cus he’s tinny he’s just a squishy baby and two cus he doesn’t want the autobots to get any ideas. Danny doesn’t just dip cus that would make Soundwave disappointed and he dose NOT want that

If you enjoy Danny phantom or transformers, I definitely recommend you check out their fic https://archiveofourown.org/works/60521740/chapters/154507732

Also some close ups cus I said so
