[the last of these 'required' posts - not that I won't do anymore of those posts but keep reading for what I mean] Please note: Initially, I will only need to do these blogposts on Mondays, Tuesdays (and some Thursdays) for 3 weeks (a total of 10 times) because of school*, but I hopefully will continue them afterwards. *Obviously, I'm not providing services, I'm simply practicing and using Blogger for feedback. Here is (or was) the most recent iteration of my practice logo I posted in the last blog post*: *That last post is at https://michaelspracticefreelancerlogos.blogspot.com/2020/10/michaels-practice-freelancer-logo_25.html As for making it simpler, my teacher suggested I show the same essence/idea/meaning etc. of MIN and MAX in some other way. I came up with 2 ways: (1) Follow the number(ing) scheme or (2) use - and +:  It doesn't look much different to what the logo was, but certainly it does look a LOT different (cue the far cry cliche) to the 'logo...

SOUND ENGINEERING on separate lines. My teacher did say that the numbers overcrowded things (now it makes just a bit of sense, as opposed to none when the teacher said it), but they look uniform to me, as if required to be in this logo. Comments appreciated. Thank you.

Comments appreciated. Thank you.

This time I really do feel I have made a logo rather than something else - a logo (with colours similar to the Estonian flag by conicidence) that looks like a knob on a mixing desk turned to unity gain (the position where it doesn't change how loud the given sound source such as a singer's mic is): Comments appreciated. Thank you.

Here is (or was) the most recent iteration of my practice logo I posted in the last blog post*: This time I took another rather-long-standing problem (the faders have white backgrounds) and fixed it as below:  But I still don't yet know how to rotate the faders into the right oriientation of being in line with the fader lines (literally), and most of all, I actually got feedback to say it's not a logo (and not just not really looking like one). *That last post is at https://michaelspracticefreelancerlogos.blogspot.com/2020/10/michaels-practice-freelancer-logo_11.html. Comments appreciated. Thank you.

This time I took a lot longer to make a single new version, mostly because I tried to make volume control labelling with experimentation (and I did it without using existing images but it looks small):  Also, you may notice I fixed the length of the red line right next to the word EQ. Comments appreciated. Thank you.

Here is (or was) the most recent iteration of my practice logo (colour and b/w) I posted in the last blog post*(later I realised and was told it's not so much of a logo): *That last post is at https://michaelspracticefreelancerlogos.blogspot.com/2020/10/michaels-practice-freelancer-logo_5.html. Here's how I tried to make it more like a logo, skipping over any attempts to make the text readable (which is not so much of my focus right now, yet you'll see it's mostly, if not fully fixed so I won't show the differences anymore): Now before I have enough time to forget credits, the fader sliders (if better-looking without the white backgroun and rotated to the same ori...

Here is (or was) the original logo I posted in the last blog post* (oh, and I should point out the background image came from https://medium.com/making-music-in-the-21st-century/how-to-make-your-recording-studio-session-as-productive-as-possible-4ed63ba06602): *That last post is at https://michaelspracticefreelancerlogos.blogspot.com/2020/10/michaels-practice-freelancer-logo.html I remember reading in a couple of websites (such as https://www.designhill.com/design-blog/rules-for-freelance-logo-designers/) that my logo should be just as good in any size format it might have to appear in, as well as in bw:  Unfortunately the upper block of text is hard to read, especially the right ha...
