Web Icon/Logo Idea.

[MX]

I am not an artist or graphic designer; I just play around with PowerPoint and Gimp (and sometimes I even use the free graphics program) But I have wanted to start a Cigar review site, with attached social media, and want your honest opinion, this is just a very basic idea, not even sure if this is the direction I want to go.

Maybe you could somehow incorporate the ash actually falling off of the cigar? Move the cigar up and have the ash just as it disengages from the stick?

For logos and such for things I have done, I have used Inkscape so that they are scalable.

The graphic makes the subject clear which is good.

Consider also making a version where it will be legible if the size is scaled way down on mobile devices or if used as an icon?

(I am a complete amateur and this is what I have learned from listening to and watching different things)

Great start! Oh and make sure that you grab all of the social media handles and domain before you commit to anything!

I like the simpleness of it. It kind of looks like a kazoo, though, to be honest. Maybe better incorporate a band?

I am not very good with text to path, but this is kinda what you were thinking right?

The only thing missing is a big ash resting on your package.

YES! I think that puts the initial focus on the name, at first glance…

or is it a big ash resting on my big package? Well, maybe not me, but somebody…

The ash could be big. The package size could be told however you wish, depending on who's telling the story

well IRL, the ash is the larger of the 2
