Logo for my Senior Project

[Haya]

Hello Everybody,

First of all I am an interior designer who's very interested in visual and graphic design.

Ok, so as in the title this is a logo for my senior project which is a Henna Salon; I completed the project and submitted it, we weren't required to do any graphic work but I just could not resist .

Following is a small intro:

“Henna is a dye made from the dried leaf and petiole of Lawsonia alba Lam. ” (Wikipedia). It's like a temporary tatoo that has medical, cosmetic, and other uses .

Henna designs are called Naqsh, that's from where I got the name of this place, Noqoosh. The place is for females only. So I think that's about it.

Here's the logo, the name of the place is in both english and arabic. Your comments are more than welcome:

It seems delicate and nice, I like it.
Just two observations:
1. doesn't remind me any hennas I have seen before.
2. I miss the connection of the flower and the text.

I agree with borsi regarding the connection between the flower and text.

I like the stroke used for the arabic letters -- that seems to relate to the flower better. Maybe use a similar stroke style for the english text? And vary the stroke width on the flower? Just some thoughts. I do like the logo BTW.

From what I see the positioning of the logo make them fall apart and looks like 2 seperate things. You should move the flower closer to the text. For the rest it looks good just work on the positioning of the flower.

yes, moving it closer to the text and aligning the flower to the center of the page might make it look a bit more appealing.

maybe have the flower connect with some of the text, just some ideas.

I like it too, but I'm concerned it's a bit complex. Rule #1 for logo design, it must be able to look fabulous when it's 300% size as well as 1/16% size. If this gets real small (postage stamp size), you'll loose all recognition of the flower. Just something to keep in mind.
I love the colors you've used.
Good luck with it all.

It's definitely intriguing, but it has a very weird tension to it. The typography doesn't compliment the mark very well.

i agree with what another users said .
here is my sugestions :
1. try to use hennas colour (dark (red) brown).
2. maybe u can make flower look more like a tatto style. without pink colour.

Good comments from members here.

I see how you modified the last letter of the typeface to connect it to the Indian script. How about making sure the other letters connect to each other? The tails of the letter "o"s start at the bottom and angle up. Maybe you can play with these connections so you get better ligatures (character combinations combined into a single glyph)? Think about integrating the type and the flower rather than just positioning them next to each other. Can the type encircle or otherwise contain the flower or vise-versa? Maybe the flower could go under the loop of the final "h"? Watch the thickness of that character while you're at it. It doesn't match the other letters. If it were thin on the left and thick on the right, it might make a better transition into the script.

I think the flower could go a little lower, but it's nice!
