Review Philosophy
The overall philosophy of LogoCurio.us is to provide positive and constructive feedback on logos and branding. This doesn’t mean you will only hear good things in reviews or that only good logos will be reviewed. Within the two main categories of logos that get reviewed on LogoCurio.us there will alway be three key elements that should remain:
Highlight the Positive
Someone has always put work into any logo, however big or small the project. Good things will be highlighted and celebrated!
Constrictive Criticism
Design is subjective, but certain fundamentals remain. Criticism is given in good faith and constructively.
Never Sneering
It can be easy to provide reviews laden with unkindness and a sneering tone. All video reviews will avoid this.
(I have in the past been guilty of this in the text archive).
Review Policy
There are generally three types of video review here on LogoCurio.us, Brand Reviews, Logo Shorts and Viewer Subs. Each has the same review philosophy but slightly different review policies:
Brand Reviews
Logo projects that have some kind of investment because the brand is well-known or may have an impact on the world wider than the design industry. Perhaps they represent something lots of folks are familiar with.
Likely to be the most harshly critiqued of all due to the well known nature of existing or previous branding and the investment folks have in a larger brand.
Logo Shorts
Quick and straight to the point reviews of new logos in the wild! These will perhaps be of well known brands or new products from existing big brands.
More likely they will be intriguing designs that have caught my eye from across the web. As such expect a mostly positive lilt to logo shorts!
Viewer Subs
When viewers submit a logo, it will go into the queue of submitted logos. Viewers should provide as much context and information about their design using the online submission form. There’s no guarantee any specific logo will be reviewed or logos will be reviewed in submission order. Logos that are felt more interesting may be reviewed first.

Submit a Designs for Review
I’d be delighted to receive your recommendations for brands and logos to review. All submissions should provide a link to a portfolio page or case study with multiple images. The more information you can provide, the more likely a brand will be reviewed.
Only real projects will be reviewed, please don’t link to concept logos or proposed rebrands.
Submission does not guarantee a review. Size, quality and other subjective factors all play into what might be reviewed.
