Presentamos el nuevo logotipo YugaTech

The POCO M8 Power is now official PH telco giants propose PHP 30B subsea network with earthquake sensors Disney+ and Netflix might create a free subscription tier Here what the Google Pixel 11 Pro will look like Visa brings Apple Pay to its customers in the Philippines

He estado coordinando con nuestro diseñador web (un diseñador increíble, si me permiten añadir) durante más de 3 meses para crear un nuevo diseño de logotipo para YugaTech y estoy muy satisfecho con los resultados, por lo que lo comparto con ustedes antes de lo previsto.

Aunque es un poco atrevido, sigue siendo bastante sencillo y nos mantenemos con el esquema de colores naranja (los dos colores de fuente también adoptarán el naranja y el azul, así como la versión en escala de grises, dependiendo del formato donde se utilice).

Estamos en las etapas finales del rediseño de la nueva temática del blog y, con suerte, podremos lanzarla a mediados de este mes. Luego de eso, me concentraré nuevamente en las aplicaciones. También estamos produciendo algunas camisetas y otros artículos con el nuevo logotipo para regalar a los lectores.

¡Dígame qué opina!

i agree palitan na yung favicon mo. dapat mas recent picture. matagal ka nang walang buhok. hehehehe. :P

iFreak · 16 years ago

Yes I agree with Paul, it reminds me of Ubuntu. Pero maganda.

Daryl · 16 years ago

Like it, :-)

iPimp · 16 years ago

I like it better than the previous. Will the theme undergo a change as well?

Jorlan · 16 years ago

the favicon is, uhh, cute! but in my own opinion, he looks like a girl there.

The logo…, simple, nice, and pretty stylish.

inots2pid · 16 years ago

NemOry · 16 years ago

Emmanuel Logarta · 16 years ago

Very cool!!!!

Ethan · 16 years ago

Nice typography yuga, though the ‘G’ looks a little too much like the Gaisano logo as jan pointed out.

@everyone
here’s a good anecdote about design :)

just sayin..

logo suggestion (slight tweak of your existing one):

omay · 16 years ago

Neat! i’ve been doing the same thing, thinking of a different logo for our family business. :)

ellen · 16 years ago

now that is techie! :) nice new logo, looking forward to seeing the new techie blog theme!

jumper · 16 years ago

another nit (to pick): i would also prefer the shape of the Y on your logo to be the same as the one on the lettering. if you notice, the point of intersection is lower on the logo than on the lettering. :D

ewancoo · 16 years ago

hindi ko type. masyadong robotic yung logo. also, in my opinion orange doesn’t represent anything about tech :)

jumper · 16 years ago

i prefer symmetry and equal lettering spaces, so the wording doesn’t really work for me. the logo is okay, though.

yung sa lettering, what i mean is:
– some letters overlap and others don’t
– because of the overlaps, some letters are partially blocked (such as the U and T), w/c makes the spacing unequal
– the “G” is a special design (power switch, w/c is a really nice touch) but is made to look like the rest of the letters – better if the color/size/font is different to make it stand out

i would have preferred it to look something like this: http://i52.tinypic.com/2ueh0tx.jpg

just my humble opinion, though. :) great site, btw!

superdan · 16 years ago

nice logo. simple but nice. by any chance is this web designer ferlin hicarte? haha.

anyways, new year, new logo. good way to start the year yuga.

Clifford · 16 years ago

NICE!!!!!!!! i love it….clean simple and techyish :) nice work you guys :)

no_label · 16 years ago

the new logo reminds me of Adobe…lol

But its really looks refreshing…nice one.

NemOry · 16 years ago

Yeah the ‘G’ is very fitted right there like it’s saying ‘I’m the Gadgets’ hehe. .kaya nga admire q talaga ang designer. .what a concept.

cristal · 16 years ago

nice logo sir yuga, mas bagay siya kesa sa current logo…can’t wait to see the new web design!

crankhead · 16 years ago

nice logo sir yuga!
The “G” is a power button(astig!)

jeffrey john imutan · 16 years ago

Very nice =)

Randell · 16 years ago

Nice! Looking forward to it being implemented as the favicon! =D

jdm · 16 years ago

hawig sa MACROSS/ROBOTECH font.

kahit wala na yun word na “TECH”

[LOGO]YUGA

Christopher · 16 years ago

nice logo.. sana baguhin na din yung format ng site para bagong bago para sa 2011..

NemOry · 16 years ago

That 3 polygons that forms a ‘Y’ Can be the Favicon for this site, but even though, I am already used with the recent one. Because it’s easy to identify in my bookmarks if I see the face of sir Abe.hehe

dulfo · 16 years ago

Like the ‘YUGATECH’ logo but not with the icon ‘Y’. ‘Y’ to me is synomous to a well known search engine. But, ‘Yugatech’ I am hoping sir Abe may one day be a household name like some technology search engine. You want to know about some new technology, just go to yugatech and kaboom! It displays the info tech that you need.

I just think YUGATECH without the icon ‘Y’ is future proof and will not be mis-interpreted as that search engine that also starts in ‘Y’.

florence · 16 years ago

free tshirts? yehey! :D

NemOry · 16 years ago

@sir Yuga can I ask about my entry in the Lenovo contest? If the youtube video is a valid entry?hehe. .because it is a written type also.hehe. Thank you. .
And let me say it again. .I really adore the Logo Creator, I have been inspired very much because of this. I got alot of ideas from it.

Paul · 16 years ago

Ubuntu colors. Do like.

MobilePinas · 16 years ago

great logo! more power yugatech!

Jam. · 16 years ago

How about updating your logo on the iPhone app

ryanV · 16 years ago

Nice work! I like this new logo. And that polygonized “Y” would make a nice favicon as well (have to agree with @JEJEJE about the current favicon — no offense meant since it’s your pix).

BTW, I think I saw you in MOA last Jan 1 (when I was still in Manila) around 2:30pm by the elevators. Were you there? I was a bit doubtful and was taken by surprise that I failed to simply ask. :)

wites · 16 years ago

Pwede bang mahiram yang designer mo? ^^

The logo looks a little mechanical but i’m digging the “G”. As for the symbol, i don’t quite get it. IMHO, Yugatech stood the test of time without the symbol so why start now? Maybe play with the typography more. Overall, I’d say 50/50.

RJ · 16 years ago

Abe, it is nice but I hope you can still reconsider to keep it simple. Honestly, it is difficult to read especially for those who haven’t known your brand yet.

The “power logo” can be mistaken as either an “E” or a “C”

The “T” can be mistaken as “1”

It is easy to read for those already familiar to your site. But to those who are not, it requires more effort to decipher and might not be helpful in your branding.

Just my 2 cents.

And it is still your call, your brand and your website.

Congrats and Happy New Year!

NemOry · 16 years ago

I really admire the logo creator of the new Logo, what a perfect design and concept, I am so inspired because I do logos for companies, websites too.
I really amire you the creator, I hope to know you.

And I cant wait to wear a Yugatech t-shirt with that awesome logo. It’s a firing Kick-Ass

Tristan Khalil Singkala · 16 years ago

Nice new logo, Sir Abe!

New look for the New Year!

Happy New Year Sir!

JM · 16 years ago

Ikaw talaga Abe, sinabayan mo ang Starbucks ha! Hahahaha. In any case, love the new logo! So “edgy” nga–as in daming edge, parang 3D! Which is the “in” thing nowadays. Can’t wait for the full blog redesign ;)

JEJEJE · 16 years ago

Finally. Then replace your favicon on the site too. The favicon really sucks.

I’ll be waiting for the new theme. Cheers!

@cristine – Iâ€™m still reviewing all the finalist of thats contest. It has taken me more time than expected since there were 3 other contests we did for December. This is the only one we have not finished. Please give me 1 week to finalize the top 10 and the final winner. Thanks!
