I had a group critique for my figure skating symbol some of the comments included;
- I should look at more markings on ice that could relate to different tricks
- Try to experiment by including ice skate boots
- try other winter sports to see if the same style will work.
We then did more detailed feedback for two other people.
Jen Feedback
- Will be effective at smaller/larger scales yet the stroke of the snowflake could be too thin when smaller.
- Colour could be less vibrant and more icy - such as pale pastel blue or even grey. Also make sure it is understandable in black and white I think it would be.
- Try the style in a range of winter sports before considering the production method. Having the ice-skate boot pointing down with a spiral coming off it could also be really effective
Nicky Feedback
The design remain highly visible at small sizes, the stroke widths are sufficiently scaled. The symbol works in
black and white, and the chosen blue is also suitable (Its informal by the fact that its a cold winter sport) The light blue provides just enough contrast to the white. however a darker blue would be even more appropriate in Bright light situations. The design would work ideally in both print and screen media, however it would benefit if the curves were made to be smoother. It could be easily applied via vinyl, projection, 3d, illuminates and printed. Good impact, great clarity and scales well. You do not need any snowflakes !! I like the person one best :) Try combine person and swirl.
I will take this feedback into consideration and make some changes to my symbols and do some more experimentation.
