    Not so sure about this one. I get it, but not sure I’d get it if I didn’t know it said Play. Cool for designers, not so much for public identity.

    If I didn’t knew it read play it would probably take me a very long time, if such time ever ended, to figure it out. The concept behind it is fine, but the execution not so much.

    i like it.
    ‘a’ and ‘y’ is not very clear. but all logos doesn’t have to be too obvious.

    I think the concept is very fun! I don’t know how well it would work as an identity, but then again, it’s nice to see something so fun and subtle. It’s a nice change, and very playful.

    very good work. i’ve noticed the word play pretty soon… cool concept.

  • 6 samantha ~ Feb 10, 2009 at 9:53 pm

    it reads like pldv or plav, to me, first go around.

    I saw it from a huge list of logos and I didn’t know it said play. It was the only one I went back to because I wanted to figure it out. I had to stare at it for a while but I got it and now I won’t forget it.

    It reminds me of pigeon logo.. http://www.pigeonbaby.info/index.php

    90% of the population wouldn’t be able to read this if they didn’t actually know what it said. From a mass martket point of view you would have to fail this logo…imo

  • 10 Nick ~ Apr 10, 2009 at 6:13 am

    Who says they couldn’t add small, plain text below it that said “PLAY” so people would understand it right away?

    I love it.

  • 11 Dave ~ Apr 10, 2009 at 11:19 am

    Not gonna lie, i was convinced it said Phd<3 …

  • 12 Chris ~ Apr 10, 2009 at 11:33 am

    Baffled by how many folks failed to even read it properly… Totally clear and effective to my eyes… this is one of the most fascinating logo designs I have seen in a long while. Love it!

  • 13 Joe Mamma ~ Apr 10, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    This one jumped out at me. I read it immediately and it gave me a little tingle…!

    I hope this is the logo for an adult toys company because it’s sensually erotic in a very soft, gentle way.

    With Mark and Chris, I believe this was the best logo I saw from a pile of them from Smashing Magazine.

    Did anyone notice it’s just hearts?! It’s perfect!

  • 14 Vencedor ~ Apr 12, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    Consider to add faded letters inside hearts. Will be more recognizable.

  • 15 Jochen ~ Apr 13, 2009 at 5:51 am

    I read “PLAY” before I saw it was only hearts.

  • 16 designer ~ Apr 13, 2009 at 8:04 pm

    I couldn’t read it. I expected it to read something love related. Play and Hearts don’t go together imo

  • 17 Tanoshism ~ Apr 14, 2009 at 4:21 am

    I read Flav… but I think it’s a nice concept, not sure it is readable enough though. I’m sure the average person wouldn’t read it right.

  • 18 Adorian ~ Apr 14, 2009 at 6:20 pm

    I had no idea what it said :(

  • 19 Lisa ~ Apr 15, 2009 at 2:46 pm

    I had to click the link just to find out what it said!
    So in a way I guess it works (I get curious when I don’t get it) but in a way it doesn’t (I get frustrated when I don’t get it)…

  • 20 Simon Martens ~ May 8, 2009 at 9:04 pm

    woooooooooooooooooooooow i was fascinated by this the moment i saw it, one of the best logo designs around for sure

  • 21 Rich ~ May 30, 2009 at 4:53 pm

    The letter I have the most trouble with is the “a”. Did you try it with the heart upside down for the “a”? It would be a capital “a” then, but it may read more quickly. I would also try it with a round, red button to the right of the word “Play” with a white heart in it pointing to the right. If it works, it would read as a play button and people would understand the identity more quickly, while still keeping it fairly clean and simple.

    muy bonito tu creacion felicidades.
    Creating your very nice congratulations.

  • 23 aspiring designer ~ Aug 23, 2009 at 4:14 am

    I came to post the same thing Rich did. I think the heart upside down would help it read better as an a.

  • 24 Lucia ~ Sep 29, 2009 at 3:47 pm

    agree with Rich and Aspiring designer!

  • 25 Umaramu ~ Dec 18, 2009 at 6:00 am

    When I saw first time….. I am impressed. But I read as pbdv

  • 26 Jak ~ Dec 26, 2009 at 3:25 am

    I also read it as “PLAY” instead of hearts the first time round, then as I looked further I realised what it was made of.

    An extremely well thought logo design, as mentioned previously it would do fantastically as a high-end adult boutique or something of that nature.
