My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

My company name is Executive Detail East, llc. We have worked with the name so many different ways. I think this fits the bill for a logo.

What do you think?

Re: My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

You have to look hard to figure it out. Logo's are supposed to be easily remember: meaning, i should be able to just glance at that and remember it. That doesnt happen. Another thing, please dont claim you are the "best." Not to bad mouth, but your not the best. There is always someone better. Change the word "best" and then your set.

I have to disagree, there is nothing wrong with saying you're the best. If you do quality work, and truly believe you are the best in your area, then there's no harm.

I however still don't know the name of your company.

Re: My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

I would also have to say that there is nothing wrong with saying you are the best. It does not state he is the best in the world. There will always be someone out there that is better then you but like "JohnKleven" stated he could be the best in his area.

The logo looks great and i think it's pretty easy to understand. There is a Black E (Executive) silver d (Detail) black e (East)

Executive Detail East. Pretty self explanatory.

Re: My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

I do not believe I am not the best period. But I've been told I'm the best mobile detailer by a lot of clients.

It's marketing and there is truth to it.

When you've got a long name like Executive Detail East and you still have to explain what exactly you do, you start cutting it down to the essentials. When I give a biz card they will hear my personal name, company name and know what I do. The biz card will be the reminder. /shrug

Re: My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

Instead of saying "The Best in Mobile Detailing" why not change to "Offering the Best in Mobile Detailing" To me that conveys you offer the best services using the best products at the best value. Instead of saying yea I'm a pompus arse claiming to be the best like everyone else. if you follow. It just seems to better convey the message

Re: My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

In my area I do think I am the best in mobile detailing. Pompus, arrogant or accurate and confident. It is what it is.

*I bet the majority here believe to some degree that they are the best at their trade in their area or beyond. I am willing to say it and stand behind it.

Yeah, try "A decent job" or "Not bad" and see how business picks up.

Re: My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

The logo is just OK, a bit too clunky... Finding a pro to work out a design
with you is the way to go.

And how about, "Excellence in Mobile Detailing."

Re: My new logo(yes, more new stuff)

I'd put the name of your business in regular font also. You can't tell from that what your business name is, so someone won't know how to contact you even if they've seen your logo and your work.
