Hey guys,

I started to make a logo for a brand I'm going to make for fun with my friends, see if it works out
After a while when people tell us (for example) where we have that tshirt from cuz it's nice, we would like start to sell them to friends and maybe later go bigger
Anyways I'm stuck with the logo, I finished the H and the U but I don't have inspiration atm so not sure what to do with the L and the U (last ones)
Does anyone have a good idea to finish it up nice as possible?
There's also going to be 2 logo's, the one I'm working on now and an other one, more like a symbol

GIve me some advice in the comments  :)

Quick question: Isn't "HULU" already a brand name? One that hosts U.S. TV shows/Movies?

Also, the L and the U can inherit the style of the H. The fin on the H is an interesting touch, but maybe add more primitive shapes together to make it more intricate. Put the fin on the last U (either on it's left or right), that way you can balance the image out a bit. Aligning the baseline (bottom of the letters) of the two U's might also be an idea. It'll give your eyes some repeating pattern to follow as you read the word. (If the imbalance of the U's right side seems out of place, stretch it up to match the height of the top of the H, that way you can maintain a happy balance in the Cap height (Top of the letters).

In terms of texturing the text, perhaps look at getting a brush that's a grid, and place it over the text? Give it an even more blocky. Adding lines below the text can also help emphasize certain parts and draw attention away from others. Maybe Three lines, each decreasing in legnth, but they stack up, forming a shield/wing like shape. (Really "out-there idea" , I know, but think in terms similar :) - you might just surprise yourself with what you'll get haha) Remember that the average person will read a logo and subconsciously try to follow some form of line.

Alternatively, depending on what direction you're taking the company, you could play around with the U floating off in the distance. adding background images/colour could help too. The U actually feels somewhat comfortable the way it is, but if you were going for a relatively serious business, then yeah, you'd have to keep the logo tight-knit.

a logo represents and reflects what the company or groups motives are so you need to make it relevant to you

the font choice is important since it will depict what type of people you are - the blocky sans serif font is telling me you guys are brawn over brain type people

the detached "u" has to have a meaning too other wise it looks random

example of good logo:
(click to show/hide)
it uses a shield / eagle combination. both hold important values such as protection and strength/independance (relevant to a bank)
font choice (serif) shows they are serious and mean business
blue is a neutral colour - wide appeal

Thanks Bluepatchx & antisickness for the adivce,
About that there already exists a company named Hulu (I researched earlier) I know that, since we aren't going official (yet) we see no problem in not changing in, ofcours if it WOULD eventuelly work out we're planning to changing it unless we can keep it for some reason
Also what you guys said about the logo, it changhed alot it's more modern now and is NOT being used to put on the clothes, for that we'll design other, more atractive logo's.
As for now, the name to keep inside the clothing as a label to represent our ''company" will be the one I'm working on now.
I'll post a ss later on to keep you gentlemen updated.

I thank you both for replying on this post and giving me usefull advice, I could use it

logo looks really good went from 0 to 100 nigguh real quick. techno theme looks modern and sharp, just make sure shape distances are equal and you cut out edges properly

i like it  :)

Bluepatchx

Just be cautious when you're adding the extra detail. Putting too much emphasis on the edges can strain the viewers attention and make them not want to look at it. Anything that we have to work hard to understand, especially things such as symbols and signs, we tend to walk away from. Maybe drop the opacity of the highlights a bit, and separate the letters; beginning to feel overwhelming.
