Playing with a logo idea for our mobile plugin. I am requesting all hands on deck for feedback on this idea, would be much appreciated!
What I did was find a normal vector of an iPhone, then tilted it and started warping it that it would suit the 'O' in Obox. I am using some poetic justice for the shadows under the light swishes.
The effect I am going for is that the O swishes over the phone (hence the shadows)... not sure if that makes any sense or whether it is clear enough in the logo.
Thats where I need your help. Thanks peeps.

Idea is great, not sure about the colouring and shadows though.

Visually looks nice, but it seems awkward, like there's a lot of tension. I think it's because of the contrasting angles.

I agree with Alan.
I think it's that top-right curvy line that's throwing me off. It makes it feel like the iPhone is squishy and has been bent backwards.

I'm no expert, but I can't help but think that the O looks like part of the phone. Perhaps try making the O bigger so that it overlaps the top and bottom segments of the phone, as to me it looks as if the iDevice is broken and without a screen..
Cool concept however :)!

Wow you dudes are awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
@Alan - I am using the Obox blue and changing the contrasts for each layer.
@Ben - Thanks dude, it could be that some areas have swishes and other areas are straight. I am looking into that now.
@Rob - The phone is tilted 20deg so there is an element of it being slightly bendy which was intentional.
@Wills - Thanks dude, the O is meant to be part of the phone which is why I have integrated it with swooshes. I reckon I need to get the execution right so that it is clearer.

Looks fantastic David. I sort of like the fact it's bent and miss-shaped, but I can see why some people might think it looks a little awkward.
Perhaps you could try keeping the outside shape more standard and less abstract. You can still keep the sweeping shapes inside etc.
I don't know if it would help or work, but it might be worth trying just to see how it looks.
Otherwise beautiful work.

Uhhhhhh I totally love this!!! The only part of your design that is not working 100% to me is the font in the middle, specially the left part of it.
I think the concept is awesome and what you've made is awesome too but I'm sure that with a little more work the result will be even more cool! :)

Thanks again!
@Liam - I see what you saying, I am going to give that a go by removing the curves from the leading edge of the logo.
@Editha - And while I apply Liams suggestion I will be looking into improving the integration of the O. Thanks Editha.

I really like this – I think the reason it looks 'awkward' isn't to do with the shading, more to do with the flow of the 'o'.
I reckon if the shape was more like this: http://cl.ly/2OO0
... it might reduce that awkwardness?
Just an idea.

I think if you go with the curves on the edges you straighten the shape up so it mirrors more of a figure 8. Then you can curve in & curve out without the weird diagonal.

I agree with Rob that the top curve of the phone is throwing off the design a bit. Overall great approach.

@Daniel - Yep you are right. I have to start again :P But it will be for the better. Thanks dude.

Nice one – looking forward to seeing it :)
(Just looking back at this, and I think if the phone was flipped so it skews from right to left, it might help too?)

Obox Mobile Logo 2
by David Perel
Switched around the swishes, and framed the logo so that it fits inside an iPhone outline, I think I will be going with this exact logo but once again your opinions are most welcome :)
