Logo proposal for a school district.School district is looking for a clean, easy to read bold logo that can be used for many different purposes.I decided to merged all three letters to create this symbol. All constructive critique are welcome.

Finally decided on this one with an addition of a cactus and hilly landscape.
You know, there's more to logo design than forcing letters together to make a monogram. This just looks convoluted. Why not make a logo that includes imagery and proof of research about the district? Like a landmark in the city, or something that plays on the word "unified?"
Yes, you are right about that - thank you for your help!
I must say, his logo isn't half bad. It's a bit cold and could use a bit more of a human touch like Killswitch is saying.
But it's just another unfinished logo on top of a pile of unfinished logos... Focus on quality instead of quantity.
Thank you, Charlie!
Take this logo, this logo alone, and work on it.
Work on it until at least 8/01/2016. Yes, That is a long time, but you have things to learn in that time, trust me, you will need it. Just follow me here.
This logo is a neat idea, btw.
Now -
Sketch it.
Work it.
Love it.
Make this logo the best it could ever be.
Finally - Use a vector program!!! This is where the extra time will come from.
Illustrator is not free, that much is true. However... I researched this for you, so you darn (golly gosh) well better do this... use Inkscape. It is free and basically it is Illustrator light. It will introduce you to vectors and how they work. If you can use paint, you can use Inkscape. Illustrator can do more, sure, but Inkscape is still great considering it is free. I even got you a link.

There is a good idea here. Now, make it a great idea. Next next Monday I want to see this polished, I want to see this amazing, I want to see this in vector format, and I want to see this be the absolute best thing ever.
There are plenty of tutorials on using it on YouTube.
No excuses. It is time to shine.
Do not let this just be a star. Let this be a super nova!
*Glorious cheers from the crowd*
Thank you, Waffle, really appreciate your help!
Waffles, was able to download a software from a link that you provided.Will take me a time to learn all that and thank you, again!
Wonderful! Glad to hear it!
Good luck!
Thank you all - very much appreciate each and everyone of you for help and suggestions! I just realized how much more basics I must learn to get better and start pulling away from Paint.
