GarryP Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 It’s nice, but I am wondering where it would be used. At a small scale, for example if it was an App icon, a lot of the detail would be lost. Also, I think the ‘classic’ bee colours of yellow and black might help it to be more recognisable. I like the hexagon motifs but could they be used more prominently, or would that be too ‘stereotypical’? This certainly looks like it is an interesting design project. I’m tempted to try and come up with my own version, just as a bit of an experiment. Looking forward to seeing future iterations of this.

William Overington Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Have you considered having a large hexagon surrounding the whole thing?

massive.art Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 I am seeing the problems with this design after walking away for a day or so. Time to go back and redefine it. -- The colors are from the app Also, this issues one of the issues with a creating a font Quote i7 8700k, CoolerMax Air Cooled, 32g HyperX RAM 3200Hz, ASUS ROG Strix MTHRBRD, 2070 GPU 1.5 Tb Solid State Storage Huion KAMVAS Pro 16 Tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwellborn Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 @massive.art The only thing I see that might be a real problem is that three bees are going to be rather sad when all their hard work and the subsequent honey drips right out of their assigned hexagons.

debraspicher Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think a great first attempt. A small tip to help you with troubleshooting: Try creating a version in black/white, especially something that translates well to stamp sizes. It is not only helpful to have it on hand for situations where you can't print/utilize full-color, but also you will also see more easily what can be simplified. You'd be surprised what limiting yourself will do for your designs as it forces us to think critically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewoonm Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 You could name the app “Bee happy” or even “Bee appy” I like the colors and gradients! There could be some simplification to make it more like a logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
