Logo review of PES COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING MANDYA ESTD 1962 An Aut..

Legibility

Main English text on ribbon is bold and readable.
Contrast is decent in most text sections.

Text in the red ribbon is tight and distorted by the ribbon curves.
Different fonts, sizes, and orientations cause visual chaos.
Text in the banner at top (regional language) and on 'An Autonomous Institution' has moderate readability issues due to color and placement.

Scalability versatility

Might work on large banners and academic certificates where every detail is visible.

Logo is extremely detailed — will lose legibility, clarity and recognizability at small sizes (e.g., website favicons, mobile app icons, business cards, or embroidery).
Thin lines and small illustrations become illegible and messy when scaled down.
Color gradients and complex artwork do not reproduce well in monotone applications.

Balance alignment

Attempts symmetry with shield and plant stalks framing the mark.

Elements feel crowded and unbalanced inside the shield.
Text, icons and shapes lack consistent alignment; some items feel randomly placed and out of proportion.
Ribbon placement does not follow shield shape harmoniously.

Originality

Inclusion of multiple engineering symbols specific to the college's discipline.

Relies on generic, literal icons for each engineering stream, not a unique or synthesized symbol.
Arrangement of elements is cluttered and lacks creative or innovative composition.
No clever use of negative space or abstractions.

Logomark wordmark fit

Wordmark and symbolic imagery are clearly separated.

No consistent style or integration between illustration style and wordmark ribbons.
Disparity between modern (car, computer) and archaic (gear, dam) imagery adds to visual clash.
Wordmark dominates by its size and color, clashing with illustrative detail.

Aesthetic look

Bright colors are eye-catching from a distance.

Logo is cluttered, busy, and visually overwhelming.
Overuse of color and illustrative elements makes it feel dated and unaesthetic by modern standards.
Visual hierarchy is poor; no single focal point.

Dual meaning and misinterpretations

No inappropriate imagery present.

Color harmony

Colors are mostly distinct.

Over five strong, contrasting colors create an overwhelming, unharmonious palette.
Background color feels disconnected from other design elements.
Color transitions are abrupt with little harmony.
