I generally think NYC's Citi Bike does a great job with their design, making the bike share service seem both professional and friendly & fun - but their logotype and app icon irritate me every time I look at them. So I improved them in my opinion - would love to see if that opinion is shared!
I really like that app icon, it looks solid, although I don't know how it looked before.
I'd also prefer embedded images here in this post so I don't have to click through to dribbble.
The logo typeface - I did not know which was the before and the after, I began to doubt my first guess. The improvements are quite subtle.
I think the letter space is much better in your updated version, but I'd prefer the "i" same as in "citi", and the same letter height for all letters.
Yes, they are quite subtle changes on the logotype - I didn't want to change the concept at all, just clean up what they did. The original is the version with the registered trademark symbol.
Here's the current app icon:
Didn't realize I could embed images, I'll update!
Oh well yours is 100% better! Good job!
-- sigh --
Elaborate on that :D
Sorry, I just don't think links to stuff on Dribbble is good content for DN: https://www.designernews.co/stories/94690-what-the-hell-happened-with-dn
Understandable, feel free to ignore but that’s kind of what it’s become and I would like some feedback from a designer community!
Well, that's my feedback.
