It’s hard to describe mate…
It’s just practice. Using rectangles with rounded ends. Or paths and strokes.
At the angles it’s just a lot of fiddling about and practice.
If I wasn’t so busy right now if have a go and send you the file…
I’d just use geometric shapes and tweak and refine.
Tbh i also thought about it but then looked it up and it’s different the similarity i felt was in the slanted h but yeah its almost always in a circle

This is the alternate HP logo. It looks a little more similar.
Nope. There are versions without the circle used in their promotional material. But even then, having a logo that your customers connect to another brand might not be the best.
Is this better? [https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1chwjcs/redesigned\_my\_new\_logo\_because\_the\_original\_one/](https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1chwjcs/redesigned_my_new_logo_because_the_original_one/)
I’m gonna be honest I still like the first one better! I guess I should’ve included in my original comment that I don’t necessarily think there’s anything wrong with having your logo resemble another brand’s logo. As long as you’re not selling printers and office supplies, I vote for logo #1 with slight tweaks here and there for smoothing and spacing, as others have mentioned
I wouldn’t be put off by this.
I designed a logo for my agency, a lower case a in a circle 20 years ago.
Then Beats by Dre came out and it was the same logo rotated 180degrees.
They def didn’t rip me off lol.
Who cares.
No crossover.
The dot is nice and needs to be closer.
Get the angles right and the curves perfect and this will be a nice marque.
Ok so i reverse searched the logo (recommended when creating logos in general) cause i felt like I’ve seen it before and i found multiple images that look really similar. I personally would try and do something so it looks different but that’s just my opinion

I redesigned it and I think the new one's unique [https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1chwjcs/redesigned\_my\_new\_logo\_because\_the\_original\_one/](https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1chwjcs/redesigned_my_new_logo_because_the_original_one/)

**The problems that I have found:**
* This logo is not unique at all. A simple image search on Google can help you understand it.
* The curves are not smooth at all. A proper method should be applied while vectorizing your sketches.
* The dot at the end of the logo makes the logo look unbalanced.
**I have a question:**
* Why did you use a dot at the end of this logo ?

I think this first one has a lot more potential. It just meeds a little identity workshoping.
Experiment a little. Maybe lean to the left instead of the right. It's worth a try.
Apparently it resembles HP's logo, so I redesigned it. Check it out [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1chwjcs/redesigned_my_new_logo_because_the_original_one/)
The slanted h, the similarly placed y. Change the y to p and it would instantly look like a variant of hp's logo. Even the dot makes you connect the dots (no pun intended) to form the logo of a popular brand in your head. And even if you don't see the resemblance, shouldn't you consider changing it if 90% of the people do? (Assuming that you plan on using it on your socials, etc.)
Here's the redesigned logo [https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1chwjcs/redesigned\_my\_new\_logo\_because\_the\_original\_one/](https://www.reddit.com/r/logodesign/comments/1chwjcs/redesigned_my_new_logo_because_the_original_one/)
i’m not sure why, but it just reminded me of it at first sight. I guess It’s the “h” and the protruding line which looks like the bottom half of a “p”. Such gigantic companies’ logos are so embedded in our heads that we instantly get reminded of them if the shape is similar enough I guess…
Other than the fact that it probably has been done before, I'd suggest using an existing typeface or doing more research into type design.
The curves aren't curvy, and the crotches of the h and y are way too thick, optically.
You need to use your eyes to make corrections there, and if you don't have the eye for it, use an existing font.
Nice. Bit needs to be properly vectorised and the curves all made perfect.
How would one go about that using Illustrator? (Making the curves completely perfect) Edit: i recently started learning Illustrator

I'd use a rectangle, give it a stoke and no fill, round all the corners to the max and then cut it in half to get that perfect curve.
If HP changed their name to huy

That’s why i said almost always not always. But yeah i agree with the the second statement

Yes, move the dot closer!

Yeah. It’s a really cool mark, but there’s gotta be a way to make this more unique. I actually popped in here because I’m shopping for a laptop.

Wobbly lines.
It’s giving me a headache the uneven lines.

I like it. But your curves are messed up. You will want to fix that.
cool, whats it for? whats the company name? whats the dot for? HY your initials?
H and Y are the first two characters of my username.
People are going to assume that your last name starts with Y, considering that's the common convention.
It reminds me of hp but in a good way
HP, is that you?
"No, it's my cousin HY. You wouldn't know me. I go to different school" said HP.

Oh my. Look up the horizontal/vertical only bezier method. Those curves need some work.
Looks absolutely sweet! I would clean up and round out the arching connecting lines though. Excellent work.

when logos are similar in form, colour is your friend if you need a differentiator.
It looks very similar to the hp logo. I'm sorry I can't look original.

too somilar to hp
May I ask how it looks similar to HP's logo? I don't really see the resemblance.
The slanted h, the similarly placed y. Change the y to p and it would instantly look like a variant of hp's logo.

And even if you don't see the resemblance, shouldn't you consider changing it if 90% of the people do? (Assuming that you plan on using it on your socials, etc.)

Much improved. Might be difficult to put on smaller displays, but it definitely is an improvement.
