    Needs phone number/website and location. Not crazy about the green color. Nice start though!

    +1 on the green. It`s a little bit much. I know you are looking for something that is eye catching, but try to keep it between red or yellow. It is proven in marketing studies that those two colors are the most noticeable (McDonald`s ring a bell?). Also, I think if the lettering was a little smaller it would help the "balance" between the car and the lettering.

    Better! I would just go away from the slime/puke green though.

    Why not ask him to make it up in a bunch of different colors for you. It will take 5 minutes and you will have a ton of options.

    Re: Logo design thoughts and input

    Honestly I`d skip the silhouette of the car it`s been done to death here`s a google search for "car detailing logo".

    look at all that "originality"...

    https://www.google.com/search?safe=o...&tbm=isch&um=1

    I`d be willing to bet a large number of the detailers who post on this site have something similar too not knowing how common it is. Heck the first detailing logo I did for someone about 8 years ago had one too haha.

    The color doesn`t bother me as it does some others, might not be my first choice but the font itself doesn`t say high end car detailing to me and that`s more off putting than lime green.

    Believe me I know the logo has been done as you can see from the searches but I have racked my brain trying to think of something different but I really can`t. From everything that I have found no one around here where I am located has nothing like it.

    Re: Logo design thoughts and input

    I have two thoughts... they both deal with making the WORDS give the impression of "depth" which is what you are trying to promote by Detailing... So...

    1) What about a drop down shadow on either one or all three central words?

    2) What about color progression with the Green text. Meaning start with deep Green at either the top or bottom and fade to a lighter Green?

    I would drop the by Evan Jankowski part. You want brand recognition and not tying it to your name. That way if you ever wanted to sell the business or something like that you have a brand to sell not tied to you. I also would not go green at all. Blue, red, red with a yellow drop shadow might be nice.
    You have activated my special ability....

    I agree that the car silhouette should be canned. It has been so beaten to death in this industry (and others for that matter). I`d rather have no logo than one with a car outline..but that is just me.

    I do not think anything is wrong with the silhouette but if I would change anything it would be the text color (green). If you really want green, use a darker shade.

    Think I would change to the following:

    Background Black
    Car and Lettering Red
    Star and Triangle Silver
    Lettering outlined in silver
