Feedback on this logo please

You`re trying to say "better than a carwash, better than a crappy "detailer", worth paying for as opposed to doing it yourself" right? How do you get that across :nixweiss

Exactly, I was thinking that the crest/coat of arms would do that. I guess it`s back to the drawing board.

.. I guess it`s back to the drawing board.

Heh heh, well, I don`t envy you this job...it might be tricky to come up with the right thing, but it could sure pay off if you nail it just right

If you are looking for just an image and not necessarily print materail one suggestion would be dropping a metalic shield behind the text. Just a suggestion, but it might be to overwhelming. That`s what`s fun with graphic design. Trying different things.

I think you`re selling yourself short by claiming you are a detailer. You really should say automotive paint refinisher. The only problem is that not many people will know what an automotive refinisher does. Then again, most people think of a ham & egger wash and wax as detailing!



Also, Although the name is great, I think it may look funny ifyou do advertise or even on the side of your work vehicle. Many people may wonder if it`s word of mouth....why am I seeing it on the truck, paper, etc.



Just some ideas off the very top of my head may be:



Reflections Detailing or whatever and the Reflection can be written with a reflection of itself underneath



Perfect Gloss



Can`t Touch This (Just kidding here but fitting since your quality is exceptional)



180 Detailing (As in the 180 degree tranformation you do to the cars)



Just random thoughts, not saying you should change the name, but just offering a lil insight.

Looks great

Thanks guys--the name stays as it has been my name for years--also would have to change my website address.



I just wanted to develop a logo--who knew that it would it turn out to be this kind of an ordeal. I will work on it some more with friends, perhaps something will "pop" into my head.

I am with Accumulator on this one. Location depicts the usual use of certain lettering. Around here the Old English style fonts are usually flaunted by "thuggish" characters. And personally I do not like the Old English styling as I find it difficult to read at first.



I do like your idea of being different in some regards but remember you can show class by having a nice clean logo/font. It doesn`t have to be elaborate.



Good luck going back to the drawing board.

While I understand where the thuggish association comes from in regards to the text, I think the "medieval" imagery above brings it right back to its origin. That`s just me though.



One thing about the logo is that it`s not immediately recognizable as belonging to a car detailar, but it`s a very strong logo and once it`s known, it will be easily distinguished and its far better than a shiney sillouette of a car or a couple of buckets for a logo.



I guess looking back at the potential customer. A lot of folks in the automotive world seem to appear tacky graphics with every font beveled or embossed ontop of a tribal logo...don`t know what the appeal there is, but look at some of the banners car organizations have or at car shows and it`s immediately apparent. I guess what that means is a professional logo has its place......



Hope I didn`t confuse you, food for thought.

Would using one of these more plain fonts help guys?

[imported_cj99si]

from those the first one looks best to me.

[Accumulator]

Yeah, either the first one (upper left) or the last one (lower right). I kinda like how theh "auto detailing services" looks bolder in the last one.

My initial thoughts were to use the first "WOM", but use the last "Auto Detailing Services."



Thanks guys!!!

[tustah]

wow looks really good.

[MaximusZTS]

I say bottom left

I like them all better than the other font you had. Nice job :clap:
