I hope this doesn’t count as self-promotion; I’m just really proud of my logo and want validation

    For me the fonts clash a bit because they are too similar but not quite. I’d suggest, if you want suggestions, using the same font for the below line. Just try and see if you like it more. I know (or guess) that you are going for a rule breaking feeling, but it’s good to follow them (like “fewer fonts is better”) and just break one or two of them, otherwise you’ll overwhelm your target. Ooorr make the below line with a font that is TOTALLY opposite to the upper one. Just to try :) Also play with the thickness of the border in the upper line letters, see how thin can you go without making it illegible/unprintable. Play a lot, show it to your friends, make polls…

    I would go to this therapist. Forget the haters. We aren’t living in a sane world. It’s okay for things to be off-kilter and to not follow conventional norms. A therapist who tells me to live true to myself, not submit to an abusive system.

    Just tell people it’s intentionally off-center to represent… whatever it is you wanna represent with it :3

    What is the point of this logo?

    It’s not readable at a glance and misspelled. If that was the point then good job.

    If it wasn’t, then you can learn from your mistakes.

        I wasn’t precise with the point. Where should the logo be put? Laptop or webpage?

        Different usages require different levels of speed of comprehension.

        The horizontal lines, the colors and contrast help hide the different spelling of the first world. They all don’t convey a singular meseege.

        In my non-expert opinion the first i should be in regular pride flag as second one is misspelled and should be highlighted. There is also problem of misreading F into E due to horizontal stripes.

        Side note. Different therapy in my view is “Conversion Therapy” and I don’t think that is your point.

        • It’s currently in use as my cover photo on my Psychology Today profile, at the top of my website, in the header of my consent documents, and on a few flyers I printed out at home

          On the flyers, and in dark-mode on my website, it looks like this
          1000009514

          the first i should be in regular pride flag as second one is misspelled and should be highlighted

          Ooo I think agree, that’s a good idea

          Side note. Different therapy in my view is “Conversion Therapy” and I don’t think that is your point.

          Oh shit, yeah that’s like the opposite of what I want to convey 😅 My website, profiles, and flyers contain descriptors to clarify that at least

            from that image, i think i agree the horizontal stripes make the Fs look like Es, but i think a better way to fix that is to separate the DIFFRINT from THERAPY a little more (like making the white outlines not touch). that and the first i being normal pride flag, as i really liked that idea!

            edit: actually i think the horizontal stripes are okay, from looking at the light theme version. the issue i have is more with the white outline from bottom and top words colliding, which only happens in dark mode. maybe a thinner outline would work instead of changing the position (since the light mode is fine i think this is better)
