The "I" and the "You" Look a little plain. I plan to add transparency when I'm done, or I might add a background.
 Don't judge the color count too harshly, please. Any C+C? (I know someone's going to post an amazing revision of it, heh) Much appreciated. "I love you in a dysfunctional way!"  Edited by IQbrew - 21 October 2009 at 7:03am |

Your colors have almost no contrast. D:
Upping it will make the heart pop out some more. Right now it's kinda' flat. I don't really have advice for the text. Maybe you can make the "I" out of the veins/arteries? |

I tried to add in some contrast. (I'll clean up the color count at the end, a few similar colors are being used because of the edit)
-> ->  -> -> I may try making the I a vein or something similar, for my next update. Edit: Can you guys recognize the message in the third image? I just finished it. The forth one just has a slightly more readable 'I". Image 5, I'm just throwing some ideas out there. The next one is just #5 with transparency and a very small color edit. I'm satisfied with it, although I want to get it the best I can before I submit it to the gallery. So... Any C+C? Edited by IQbrew - 20 October 2009 at 9:25pm |

The shading on the heart is very, very messy. I'd get rid of the hand because it's just blocking those needed highlights and only detracting from the picture.

Hmmm...
I don't know. I kind of like the hand, but you do have a good point there. How would you suggest I clean up my shading? |

I like the idea of the realistic bleeding heart, but I wouldn't understand it without explanations I'm afraid.
Why does the I actually stand on the heart? It would probably be much more readable and efficient if you used the classic square composition of this logo, maybe with black letters too: I<3 YOU In this case the hand should come from the right, if you want it to stay. The hand is well done, but it alters the logo meaning. Dunno. Maybe it could be an open hand with the heart in the palm? The blue in the heart might be more purple, esp if you stick to the blue font. Lighting is not bad but could use contrast esp hand; I'm more bothered by the outline: either have it for both colors, or not at all. |

Thanks, I did away with the hand for now, and used square composition.
-> I tried the "You" With several different colors, but it turned out worse than the blue 'You'. I'm probably going about it the wrong way. -> I like it with the outlines, but it may be just me. Still messing around with it. Edited by IQbrew - 21 October 2009 at 6:04pm |
