Michael's Practice Freelancer Logo Progress 27.10.20

[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' that really is a poster back when I just started trying to make my own logo.

Although the teacher said it's ultimately my logo (I can design it however I want, something I forgot  about when he made the suggestion to simplify the logo/replace MIN and MAX with something else -the latter is also suggestion on how to do the former suggestion) AND I should try to take existing logos and do my own improvement* - basically a question of "how would you improve this logo?". However that's for another blog post, if not a new series or another part of this one - whether or not I get around to it (I don't have to unlike these past 10 posts including this one - see the top of this page).
