Let me see if I understand this correctly.

You’ve had two items soft rejected. In one instance, you fixed it and it was put back in the review queue to be looked at again before publishing. In ther other instance, the reviewer decided that it was a minor thing and jumped you through the queue once you rectified it. Am I correct so far?

If I am, then you’re complaining because a reviewer took the initiative and allowed you to by-pass the updates queue just to get your file on and this isn’t consistent with how they normally deal with files.

Fact of the matter is, if your file gets soft-rejected and needs updating, then it has to go back in the queue – it’s the same for everyone, you don’t deserve any special treatment. If a reviewer is kind enough to help you out just to get the file on, then the last thing I would do is come here and complain about it – it’s a sure-fire way to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

like a “Logo Construction Kit”... (that’s a good idea I think?)..

I agree, definitely a good idea – I might give it a go!

I know that the reviewers don’t like people selling logo’s because it’s legally tricky, but some nice elements which could be combined in various ways to make unique logos should be fine.

Definitely an improvement! I’m not saying the reviewer will thinks its enough of an improvement but it’s definitly heading in the right direction.

Because it’s quite a basic design, I would encourage you to include several color variations (and possibly even a layout variation), to give the file more value.

Good luck

What do you mean by pixelated? If you are referring to the rays of colors, let me tell you that is deliberate.

The rays are a little ‘stepped’ – rather than having smooth edges between the colors, if its deliberate then thats fine. It just looks to me a bit like you’ve created them in raster form at smaller (or bigger) dimensions and then free transformed them to fit the avatar. Just an opinion though – like I said, I think it’s really very nice.

Very nice! I’m also really curious to see your new profile image!

Me too!

Hi Alfarai,

Personally, I’d say the two different greens jar a bit and overall it’s a bit dated-looking.

The layout is fine, perhaps add a bit more white space around everything though (again, my opinion – reviewer may disagree). I’d try different colours, and I’d almost certainly have it on white not black (or offer both).

I think you’ve made the right decision.

Although the reviewers almost always get it right (in my opinion), in all honesty I think they made a mistake on this one.

Good luck with sales – where ever it eventually ends up being sold!

I like it a lot – very nice.

I would say that the colour behind the ‘PD’ is a bit pixellated though and personally I’d put a radial gradient on it (but then I’d put a gradient on anything ).

Also, I can’t quite tell but is ‘Design’ slightly darker than ‘Pixus’, I think there needs to be a bit more contract to make it obvious where one word ends and the next starts.

To add to whats been said above, it is generally considered a selling point to only use free fonts, that way buyers know they can go and get the same font without additional cost.

Good luck with your files!

Congratulations on the sales you’ve got so far, and you’re right – not many other professions have somewhere like this where they can improve their abilities and make a passive income whilst having fun the whole time!

On a side note, what’s you’re experience with referrals been like? I’ve always thought the system didn’t have enough profit in it – 30% of the first deposit only seems a bit pants. Is it worth looking at?

I like the name, a smart move. Look forward to seeing how you update your Envato image.

...why wasn’t I thinking about brand development when I was 14 years old…!!
