Hi, here it is...

Unfortunately bosoms and eyeballs may be the initial association. Have you tried making the circle of the "b" and the two o's progressively larger? I see the explosion you're going for, but it took me a couple times to get it.

Yeah, lop off that 'm' and let an errant 'b' into the room and you're in mamaland.

Besides the mammary associations, I'm not getting a real sense that anything is "booming" in this logo. It's fairly static. You need some motion in it.

I'd like to see some circleness breaking out of the type - perhaps on the upper right, outside the m. It might demammarize, too. My first reaction was quite positive.

Hi all,

Thanks for your comments.

I didn't notice the hooters until they were pointed out (hee hee!). But yep, I see them now. I was trying to get the impression of amplification across and thought the circles looked a bit like speakers.

I agree that it's quite static looking, I think I'll go back to the drawing board and see what I can come up with.

Will post the results,

Thanks.

For such an explosive word (pun intended) I'd personally like to see the work less rigid and locked down. While your version is clean and well constructed, it doesn't convey any energy, fun or excitement that could come with a moniker like Boom.

I might be repeating what a lot of others have said, but this is one of those projects that people love to get. It allows them to explore the less confining guidelines in logo design. Get creative and throw some passion into this less than stellar first attempt.

Hi,

Thanks for your comments.

The client works with a broad range of companies including theatre, medical, beauty and business. They would like the logo to show amplification.

Here are some changes to the first attempt and some very rough other ideas.

I know the speech bubble is used a lot but I think it gets the idea of amplification across and I like the circular look.

I guess the lower left looks too like the more4 logo.

Appreciate any thoughts.

#1, #2 and #3 are the only ones that I find fresh and exciting. But you're having problems with letters. M is problematic on all of them. Ditch #3. Dead end. Ideally the logo is between #1 and #2 with changed m.

It will probably be the easiest to make m bigger in 1, which will emphasize every letter (otherwise it's also reading boo m - are you scared?)

COmpletely forget about 6 because it looks like clip-art logo.

I really like #1. It definitely conveys a kinetic transfer of energy, as though the sound is passing through each letter and is just about to move into the 'm'.

I don't actually mind #4, though it is a bit more static. #5 reminds me of the more 4 logo.

You're definitely on the right track with #1 though. Stick at it.

intense sadness?
