Professional apps need professional logo's. Current Amethyst logo: - has the wrong colors - the eye is not part of the compound path - lacks alignment - the A is hard to recognize Redesign I did a while back: https://w3.do/T29KyB0w No pressure though @Vitor Pamplona 😉 #nostrdesign #logo

Your redesign looks more like a shadow puppet 🤷🏻‍♂️
Hi Niel, your approach is interesting and perfectionist, I understand, I'm like that too, you went into detail, however I can't agree with some of the details you mention, the round corners are a solution, but in my view, they don't look so good , I experimented, and I don't like it, I prefer it the way it is, then, the eye, it may not be 100% aligned, nor is it mandatory, especially because visually it's fine like that, afterwards, I agree with the alignment of the logo, the shape of the "A" with the word Amethyst. Now, I don't know if you followed the redesign of this logo, Vitor Pamplona let the community choose, and among many proposals presented, mine was really the best, however I was bombarded with hundreds of different opinions, which made the creation very complicated, to give you an idea, there were many elements to take into consideration: (Letter A, Amethyst stone, the Ostrich's head, the colors, the old logo...). There is a directory on Github (from Vitor Pamplona) with all the proposals presented, including my first proposal. As for your monogram redesign, it's good, however, the Ostrich head, I don't like, it looks like a hand/fingers, but that's just my opinion. Finally, I find your analysis very interesting, in my opinion, the future of Amethyst Identity / design does not involve this type of logo, the approach should and could be completely different. I wish you the best, and keep up the good work. José Ferreira: ZITRON DESIGN - www.zitron.net

Whoa, useful OCD! But I can't see the A, I saw an amethyst with a nostrich in it and a speechbubble,, and now I see a building or a hut. Or maybe some online shooter mmo. Colors were fine though

If it looks like a duck, sound like a duck, it's probably a duck.
Frankly the more I look at this the better I like our current ostrich head. It's brilliant and lively 🤙 But the new outer frame has merits. I suggest they somehow merge
I prefer the current, redesign looks too robotic, too machiney, too mathematic
