Brief from client
My logo is not perfect. I am a second year student graphic design.
I already had uploaded a logo, I read the critique and change a few things.
My logo is not perfect. I am a second year student graphic design.
Sometimes I think it's helpful to look at the idea rather than how it's been designed. If this was given to me as an idea by a client, I'd work in a slightly different way. Trying to make the best of what I'm given so as not to immediately dismiss the initial concept. In that situation I'd start like this… then persuade the client that they need to develop it further.
I did like your original symbol for this, but Print365 here has shown you a great way to incorporate your idea into a full logo.
Take your idea and play with it. Move it around. try new fonts. Try new colours. If you are in second year you should hopefully have more than enough ability to do this.
What I want you to do, (you don't have to do it of course) is to spend about 2 hours with your logo. Tweaking it, making nice combinations, using interesting fonts that work together visually. Try new colours, try the same colour for all, try subtle gradients, try different colours for all, try everything you can! Delete Nothing.
Come back here with the best 3 ideas you came up with and let us see them!
The technical aspects of design are the easy parts. It is the design part of design that is the job.
I still think the circles aren't quite right. Imagine taking 5 coins and laying them in this arrangement, one of them is still the top coin. Perhaps that is what you're going for. In my humble opinion, every coin should have a revealed edge and a hidden edge. Just a thought.

What have you changed since the first version?
The balls all overlap correctly. That is what I noticed! The symbol does look better.
Still CMYK?
