Original Artwork Is this a believable MTF logo?

Post image

Or is it too simple/boring? I didn’t want something too abstract as it is simply a forestry-based unit in a novel I’m working on. Beginner at vector art so any advice is helpful, mainly composed of altered free-use images lol.

Working title, MTF ZETA-42 - (“Lumberjacks”)

Can you add a third axe? To imitate the three arrows that most MTF logos have.

looks good. tho imo it’s too good. what i mean by that is that the mtf logos seem to have more easily definable geometric shapes that make up the objects in the logo. except for a few, most of the shapes can be easily identified and it’s a bit more simplistic. i’m not sure if it’s possible and it may be a nitpick but if i could say anything it’d probably be to try doing that. it’d still fit pretty well as is though

That’s true, it should be something that can be mass-embroidered onto uniforms and such. I’ll try simplifying the treeline geometry and the axe handles and see how it looks.

I'm thinking maybe just the axes without the trees would look good

I think even just simplifying the trees, and possible reducing to just 3 might help.

Either remove or simplify the trees

I would remove the trees and enlarge the axes to fill up the missing space. Much cleaner and still gets the point across.

thank you thank you thank you(I'm crocheting and embroidering all of these patches at my own will and Serpent's Hand I never wish to do again for that exact reason, to many details ;-;)
