Nice... a little long though.. i like my logos to be a bit more compact. What is the shape? state of NJ or what?
I risk coming across as a douche, but for the sake of actually trying to help instead of being a "yes man" I have to say I can't stand it. "New Jersey SEO Agency" sounds generic, long, and isn't catchy at all. Even "New Jersey SEO" would be a huge improvement, (but still pretty generic). The color is nice...The Jersey shape looks too blob-ish...lacking the sharp edges that would make it actually look like Jersey. Others might disagree - but that's why you posted here yeah?
Agreed... drop the "agency" if that name is available of course. You need a slogan to go with the company title too. Just needs more wow factor.
I'm going to be honest, in my opinion it's okay. I like how you kept it simple and didn't ram-pack it with effects however most the points I'm going to make have all been mentioned. The font is appalling, no offense but it looks like it's been strung together in paint. I'd choose a more unique, nice looking font! Another point to make would be the length of the name. "New Jersey SEO Agency", it's a mouthful and not easy for some people to remember. If you're hoping to make sales, the fact this logo doesn't actually look 'professional' could cause your conversions to drop, I mean; If I landed onto a webpage with that quality of logo, I'd question the credibility of the company itself. These are just my opinions, others obviously will have different opinions than mine. I will give you credit for simplicity though, simplistic designs are my favorite.
Since you asked for it Name is too long. Also when you are going after offline clients the word SEO is a big no no. They will hang up in a second. Tested it with 100's of calls and now don't even use the word SEO in our conversation. That's just the tool and not what they need. They need more business and how that doesn't matter to them.
Looks very amateurish. I'd be interested to see a generic name like NJonline or something along those lines. If you still want to go with that name and as a Graphic Designer, I'd concentrate on working more level of detail for both New Jersy and SEO Agency - both in different colors. Add some reflections and gradient to it.
I would love to opt for a short name. Unfortunately domains in the category are slim pickens and this is what I got.
Ill admit i dont think its the best logo that ive seen, aslong as your site is decent and clean and converts well then thats all that matters
It seems to long, horizontally speaking. the color is actually okay ( I dont know how it would be printed though).
Another thing - you could probably do with a square logo as well - for things like Twitter. Perhaps just use the initials in a box shape - NJSA - hope that makes sense
