My logo mock up, your input?

jose206 · 09-09-09, 11:07

Here is a mock up for my logo I'm having my designer work on, could you guys give me your advice? input? I like the font and was wondering if It would look better with the name straight across and something in the back? let me know, I would appreciate your honest suggestions.

It's a good start but I would start with making your first letters capitalized.

I personally think its a little busy

Maybe make the P S and C much more dominant. Let the rest of the text be much smaller. Screw the wheel, or make it more prominent.

You want Simple and Memorable. Busy is uh.. not so effective.

I don't mean this to be harsh friend - just trying to help

just remember the rules of logo's

clear
effective
looks great in both color and black and white
is easily transferable to multi-mediums

I don't think that logo really follows the rules effectively. your design guy really should've known that and told you. I think it would look decent on a business card. but trying to make it into letterhead or embriodered on a shirt i don't think it will look good. just my $.02

Jake speaks the truth, and this info should be cross posted to every 'Check out my new logo/website/business card!11' thread. If it isn't presentable in black and white, start over.

You want to create some continuity across business cards, uniforms, envelopes, vehicle signage, websites, etc- and alot of the designs posted will lose any positive attributes doing so. Check out logofaves.com, logopond.com, etc.

too hard to read as well, choose a different font!

Hemin8r · 09-10-09, 09:39

I agree with the top three fellas!

jose206 · 09-10-09, 11:06

Thanks, ill forward all your input to my designer! let me know any more suggestions you may have.

It's always a good idea to study other designs. They don't have to be of the
same field. For a font, Helvetica (variations of) works well.

What about this? Should I have Auto Salon in a different font? also should I keep that chrome look?

Jakerooni · 09-13-09, 08:43

that looks a lot better

You think the word precision in platinum effect like the first one I posted would look good. Then have Auto Salon in a plain looking font without the effect?
