Our OFFICIAL DU Ukraine fund needs a logo. Here is the only logo submitted so far by DUer usonian. Should we keep it as is, or look for more?

(19,569 posts)I'd keep it as is. It fits the intention and speaks to us here. I even approve of the font, and I'm picky about such things having spent years building advertising.

(4,044 posts)It seems a bit cramped now. I think you took too much margin (blank space) away.
Put some more yellow margin back in on the top, bottom, left, and right of the text (or shrink the font).
I think you need some more blue margin for the flower, in particular, on the top.
This image is not sharp like the last one.
Overall, I think it's a great design.

(31,585 posts)Thank you very much for your help!🙏 Its very important for us now. P.S. I created this mural a few days ago in Kyiv, and at that time nearby were battles for the liberation of Bucha and Irpin took place.

Make the space from the bottom of the "Ukraine" letters the same as from the top of the "DU For" letters to where the blue starts.
Then make (if you can) the sunflower about 15% smaller, and make the blue background the same size in height as the yellow background after you adjust it.
Those are my suggestions.

(15,070 posts)a graphics program on my computer because I don't have internet on it to get a free graphics program like Gimp.
I should explain - I did all my professional design AND Paste Ups & Mechanicals the old fashioned way:
with T-Squares, Triangles, and Letra Set back in the day.
I learned computer graphics, and art on other computers bc I didn't even have one back then.
Sorry, no can do!
