get rid of everything except the text.
if you love the green shape, then at least align the inner elements by pushing them up a bit. the bottom emblem shouldn't be closer to the border than the text...

Biggest issue is that the text spacing is *way* too crowded and that makes it look amateurish and the exact opposite of a luxury brand. Get that part right before anything else, lose all the drop shadows that have little impact on such a dark green background, and work from there to develop it into a badge leaving lots of room that says " I don't have to be stingy and cram everything together, I'm a luxury brand and can do whatever I want".Picrel isn't perfect or the same typeface but it's far more like how luxury car brands are expected to look than what you've done.

to be honest, i was trying to replicate that same vibe and thing that bugatti did successfully, in other words, creating it to be unique, and a bit imaginative, i used green, unlike red and blue to make it more uniqueness, but i hate overthinking about the logo, cuz i was making this for like, i don't know but maybe months

i tried redoing it like anon said, to make it more of diamond like logo/emblem, how does it look ? (btw, for the record, the ZV monogram is based on Bugatti's EB, it's basically two Z facing the opposite of each other, and a V interlocks them, the same way like EB

why is it worse ? or did the original one have more depth than this one ?

The logo looks like a snail or crab with its eyes up, mixed with a beaker.
If you didn't tell me what the company was I'd think it's something related to chemistry. Perhaps something based on researching snails.

Italian here.
Zenvetti sounds pretty weird to me. Particularly that "nv". Makes it sound like someone tried to italianize a non-italian word.
You can use this site to see how many families have a particular last name, if you care about it being real or not (if you're not a native speaker I guess it's your only way to tell if it at least sounds real).

Zenvetti returns zero matches, but Bugatti returns 586.

I think the Z and V are a bad combination for a monogram.
Maybe you can slightly overlap the Zs to create an implied V with the diagonal parts.
But I think having a monogram at all is kind of overplayed and cliche now. I'd rather come up with some other type of logo based on the history and background of the company and its founders. A common theme is something related to the life and activities of European old-money and noble families. Maybe you could try something related to boats, like some sails or something.The elongated hexagon background makes me think too much of Lamborghini, and the diamond has been WAY overused in the "low-quality luxury for new money retards trying to flex without substance" space.
It's the quintessential cargo cult luxury imaging that poor and new money people imagine wealth as, but is very rarely something an actual wealth-oriented brand would use.I'd go for more timeless and "universal" shapes that don't come with too much baggage like the above. Maybe some type of octagon, or a rhombus, or an elongated hexagon the other way (rotated 90 degrees, with vertical sides to the left and right like a rhombus with the external corners chopped off). The shield/badge is also a safe choice (but also kinda cliche imo)

like, look at this logo, it's bugatti counterpart in gta, called truffade, im kinda doing something like this, a bugatti counterpart for a fictional car brand.

god, are you dunning-kruger knobheads really ignorant to the fact that you are making things worse instead of better?
you really think that the generic retail-"luxury" logo says "racing" and "elite car manufacturing" more than the very first original?!?!>you learned how to use industry words, but have no design talent whatsoever lol sorry

>The Renown livery became iconic over the years as much for its vibrant distinctive hues as for the success of the cars at Le Mans,” noted livery designer Andy Blackmore told Road & Track. “The orange and green along with the abstract stitching helped to convey the company was in textiles. It always reminded me of a sweater."

and which logo in your opinion matches that history and visuals best so far?hrmmmm

Anon09/03/25, 09:46No.461832
alright.
so, what can we learn from all of this for your logo?your original draft is (almost) fine already. the shape is better than in the truffade counterpart and I also like the font and kerning actually better.
yet it is clear that you made the mistake of focusing more on the amateurishly done, blue vidya version than the (actually good) original bugatti logo. this made you inherit a few (big-ish) problems:>the emblem and the text are on the same level in visual hierarchy. bugatti has them in different sizes and refrained from emphasizing the letter-emblem with a shadow.
>also the original EB stands for 'Ettore Bugatti', so I am unsure why you guys decided to fuck around with ZVZ bullshit...
>lastly what makes it look so plain are the unnecessarily big empty spaces. bugatti has a larger text in comparison to the oval shape and also the small dots as non-distracting filler details. in my first draft I simply reduced the shape size to a minimum. in my last draft I only decreased it a little bit, but also added the simple bg pattern.

>2 months
>5 iterations of the same idea that doesn’t work
You could just get some paper and draw like 100 different ideas in half an hour before making it on a computer
I know it’s imaginary, but still ask questions about the brand. Why diamond? Why ugly green? What’s zenvetti? Does it mean something? What’s the history? What do they make? When did they start?
