@Nelson Yeah, it's my initials but i updated the post with the details from Dribbble too.

It looks really nice, especially when compared to other personal brand logos out there. I would like to suggest 2 things if you don't mind: make the lines a bit thicker (not much), and add some kind of backround/frame or something like that (it would add another dimension to it)... Beware: I have no knowledge of designing logos, this is just from a user POV and i could be wrong :D
-
@nblackburn I don't know either. Right angles off of a center cross will always look similar to one
-
@nblackburn I deleted my comments because I sounded like an ass and I don't mean to be. Too used to people posting tongue-in-cheek things on here.

@Letmecode Thanks for the feedback, i am currently trying to make it less swastikary but also widen the gap and thicken the lines a little.
I am doing this by offsetting the 'n' and 'b' so it no longer joins in the middle, hopefully breaking the resemblance. -
-
@letmecode So i have made some tweaks but am trying to decide on either a 20px (left) or 40px (right) gap.
What do you reckon? -
2 ideas: If you take it like this, lenghen the lower left line so that the thought line meets with the full, thick line... Yeah, i hate to explain this.
Another idea (my favorite): Turn it by 45°. -
At a glance, it looks more like 'rb' instead of 'nb' . That's because of the joined downstroke. Try changing it because I think that's a bad thing for your brand identity.
-
@nblackburn I think the joining downstroke is okay. For the symbolic meaning, it works. Don't sweat it too much

ZaLiTHkA8457y@nblackburn, for what it's worth, i think you've got the start of a great logo there..
What about using a two-tone effect? In color, you could have the "n" in blue and the "b" in black, while in b/w you could simply make the "n" a lighter grey.
Other than that, you could try playing with the vertical position of the lines a bit; for example, make the riser from "b" shorter, make the right leg of the "n" drop down more, etc.
Play with the whitespace a bit and you might just find what you're looking for there. (: -
brahn15747yFINALLY I understand what it feels like as a non-programmer listening to programmers talking shop! Thank you, mr. Designer.

htlr81Been looking around ways to improve devrant's user experience a little, Idk whether you guys like it or not.. ...
So i am the process of working on improving my personal brand and have created myself a new logo.
I thought it would be interesting to see what you all think?
"As a developer/designer hybrid i wanted to create a identity that was able to form a symbolic reference.
My initials (nb) are formed into one continuous line making a connection to two seemingly different fields that represent both design and development."
