Re: Logo design...

Yea the "A" in Auto and Detailing are pointy where as the A in the LA is well rounded... Just seems off.. However the "L's" match pretty closely...

I know you are not gonna like my answer but the above logo puts yours to shame......If you insist on keeping your design you need to incorparate a "D" in there or simply put it doesn't make sense.Unless you wanna be known as just "LUSTR AUTOMOTIVE"

We're just not on the same page with this and don't have the same outlook on what I want and what would look good, but thanks for your opinion either way..

EDIT:... to explain what I mean... the above, while nice work on the computer, to me is a shield with writing inside... I'm looking for something with a hint of writing, but more of a Mercedes-like logo... you see it and you know what it stands for...

Re: Logo design...

I understand trying to create a brand recognized through your logo, and believe you're on the right track mimicking the circular Benz star. Good work.

Maybe mimic wasn't the right word, but the circular silver reminds me of an emblem- be it the Benz star, BMW flag, or what have you.

Gotcha... thanks for all your help/advice...

After a lot of feedback, online and in person, it's a toss up between these 4, more so 1 to 3... (even more so 1 and 3... the woman really likes #3 whereas my best friend likes #1 and I'm half/half)

1

2

3

4

Re: Logo design...

Last two choice (I hope!)

Made 2nd one a bit thicker around... 1 or 2? (best to compare when saved on desktop and viewed one after the other, back and forth)

1.


2.
