LOGO... SENSE? NONSENSE??

ok.. supreeth asked us how important logos were. i did some thinkin (yea really) and i think designin a logo or logos in general is definitely important in today's advertisin world. supreeth came up with the point that if we can just write the name of the company in some cool font and colour wat use does the logo become.. right?? yea sure to a certain extent. i think thats all fine but wat makes the difference between two companies who do that? off course the fact that they might be poles apart in different accessories, different quality and all that jazz but how does one show that in its name.. and thats when it came to me. LOGO. thats wat makes the difference. the logo, its style, its design, colour and wat not shows u how the company is. it becomes an identity. and i feel an identity for the company is really important thru a logo. it becomes the company. right? now.. tell me wher i've gone wrong.. :-)

I like that you're actually thinking David Quadri. way to go! Your logo has a lot going on. but I don't get that logo feeling from it y'kno? it looks more like it'd go well as a mural on CFI's reception area.
As a logo I think it needs more focus. Do you really need to say it's an american NGO? if you do is there a simpler way to show it that the map of the bleedin country? maybe colors? ok they're christian, says so in the name. re look your fonts. maybe you can convey that caring protection of christ thing through fonts and colors instead of the hands.(which look like they're praying not encompassing.) check out logopond.com

Very complicated logo.. think about printing, monochrome displays, if versatile with signage.
If you can show all that with that same logo then it is fine. But i do think you need to simplify it and make it more accessible and less happening.
People are supposed to relate to the logo as quick and easy as possible.
so just keep a few things in mind before designing the logo.
ok bro...
hope i have been of some help.
