I’ll reply and shit on their logo.

Personally find this one a little too ambiguous conceptually.

Doesn’t really imply “safe” either the word or the metaphor. Just kinda feels like a blob.

Visually I can’t tell if I should be seeing the object or the white space.

Also that style of shapes has kinda become overdone in web3 (variant, yuga, etc)

current Arch logo looks like it was purchased on fiverr

the bevels are an awkward level of visual detail for a logo, boring shape

What gets me is it’s the opposite of the emoji!!!

Apologies in advance for the JPEG

I don’t love the mark but it’s working well at this point.

Wish it was more interesting when color isn’t available

Mirror’s is pretty good.

Only downside is that it’s maybe not immediately recognizable in 1 color due to not being that unique of a shape.

It’s also become a bit of a trope in web3 to use that shape.

Doesn’t really work as a logo imo. Primarily because the reliance on shading makes it really limited.

For example, you couldn’t embroider this on a hat.

Without the shading, the mark is kinda generic. Needs more personality.

Optical illusion being attempted here is pretty awkward. When you don’t see it, the logo looks malformed.

way too basic, not that interesting. works fine just needs a visual choice of some kind

Boring and not conceptually tied to Paragraph in any discernible way

HO NOOOO! That's actually not even a lock :D Just an ascii character! Ʉ

I see what it’s going for with the U lock mechanic but I don’t think it’s working tbh. Like it took me awhile to understand that.

I also think at small scales the cross line is too small.

I mean, they don’t even really have a logo. The OP thing has bad lettering.

Luckily there’s a cool proposed rebrand at area.tech/optimism

I never like logos that rely on gradients because they can’t be drawn in 1-color environments or with embroidery.

Also even if you could, the zorb is ultimately a circle so that doesn’t work either.

In practice Zora just uses their wordmark as their logo.

Doesn’t really go with the name, eg it’s not super coherent.

That being said it’s a weird little guy so they get a pass.

It’s just a janky ME? Not great lines, looks amateur

Their new wordmark is cool.

The standalone A as a logo is not really that recognizable or distinguished.
