Finally got a new logo...

I like most of it. The DJ should be in a more basic font and I don't like seeing the word WORRY anywhere on a card, no matter how it's used. Use something like 'Creating Outstanding Events' or something to that effect. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative; as they say...

"You relax. Let ME handle the details"

I like that phrase better.

First, props for using a vector and not a raster... The number of DJ logos I've looked at put together in Photoshop makes me sad inside.

I like the design, and unlike one of the above comments I like how you worked the "Dj" into the dress on the bride. I'd actually take it further and work the groom's foot into the B by getting rid of the vertical line in the B and pulling his whole leg and foot up so the sole of his shoe forms the vertical of the B but that's just me.

I won't comment on whether or not "Let ME worry about your event" is a good choice of words or not because I tend to over think those things when clients probably won't but I will say I think you should lose the gradient on that text. It makes it difficult to read especially when it's smaller. Match it to the text of your name.

I had to erase a bunch of the B just because I don't have the layers but something like this:

The black background looks best at this point. The gold background is really nice, but the bride and DJ don't show up good enough and should be a darker color for more contrast. I also like the DJ font that flows with the bride. That's the best part IMO.

The background isn't (or at least I hope is not) part of the logo. The different coloured backgrounds are just to show the versatility of the logo. You never want a solid squared off background on a logo because it will look horrible when superimposed on a flyer or other piece of marketing material with a different background. The fact that the black background version has a white groom and text is a common practice in logo design where one makes a light and a dark version for placing the logo on backgrounds of different colours. For example the symbolic Nike check is white when on on a dark background but is black when on a white background.

I'm on my work computer so I cannot do anything super fancy since I don't have Adobe here but lets see if I can illustrate the issue with backgrounds on logos in Paint...

Notice in this example the "logo" is unintrusive and sits well in the corner:



In this example it looks like someone put a clip art logo on top of the image in Microsoft Word:



If your designer ever gives you a logo that doesn't have a transparent background... fire them and ask for your money back.

Nick James - Thank you. I have a couple of versions already where the tagline loses the gradient because it does make it tougher to read unless quite large. I also REALLY like what you did to incorporate the groom's foot into the "B". I may have to go back to my designer and revisit that!

Cheers, I really do like your logo.

If your designer is unable to make the changes or wants to charge you an arm and a leg send me the ai files and I'll do it for you.

I thought of the same thing as Ron. That is a great slogan.
As an advertising copywriter....
this is much more positive and really offers a personal touch.

As for your logo,
the picture is nice, but does it suggest that you are a dance instructor, MORE than it suggests "DJ"???

you are a dance instructor

Good point. I didn't think of that until I read your post. An image that represents wedding and DJ both would be better.
