Logo help. Need Help!

[shhak]

We're working on opening up a shop down here and I need some help with the logo. A buddy came up with the name and a friend of his did the logo ideas we have now, but it's needs a little something more.

Looking for someone to add some sort of a bandit/criminal face to the upper left hand corner. Or any other ideas....

I personally like the 4th one down (right about the trailer picture), but feel free to edit whichever one you want. Just looking for ideas.:beer:

Just a quicky with some clipart.

I like the third one down as it is the easiest to read, which should be important when branding your company.

3rd one down for me as well because of the clarity of font like the above poster said. And instead of a bandit logo id maybe go with something actually performance related like this...

 

[shhak]

Good point about the clarity. Anyone else?

i am a graphic designer at coca-cola i do this kinda stuff everyday! I get stuck between three and four designs a lot of time to and i usually print them all and take a vote on them. I would go for the one that stands out the most and grabs the people's attention the most! I like the criminal idea in the background, add some shadowing and maybe a motor and flames or checkered flags breaking apart in flames to! If i can find some time at work i could draw this idea up for you!

I'm a creative design artist in Orlando, and most of the work I do is for Disney, Universal Studios, Harley Davidson, and Nascar. When you design a logo you want to keep the amount of colors down and try and keep it simple. You don't want a logo with a lot of detail because then it won't stick in people's head, think about it, the most recognized logos in the world are extremely simple, McDonalds is just a big golden M, Nike is just a check, etc. Don't get to crazy with it. And keeping the colors down is a good idea also because when you decided to go and get it printed on something like shirts or mugs or whatever the company printing it is going to charge you per color and where I work it's $95 per color. Keep that in mind. I think what you have looks nice and clean, and people will remember it. Adding a simple bandit or something may improve it a little, but it may also clutter it. I hope any of this info helps you out.

I own a printing company here and while I like ALL the designs, I think the one that is comp'd on the trailer is the best. Easy to read, clean and uncluttered, and passes the squint test. The whole idea of a logo is of course to brand your identity, but for trailers and signage - it needs to be readible, and quick when cars are passing by at 50+ MPH.

Good luck with your business!

I like the third one down. The rest are to hard to read. And if you want something fancy and hard to read it needs more bling

Excellent point:beer: I never thought about it like that, but you are 100% right. (guess that's why they pay you the big bucks.oke I still think a little shadow'd looking bandit in the upper left corner would still look ok. I may be wrong though. :shrug:

I like the 2nd, but the name of the shop makes it sound like yall are crooks. Maybe not an image you want.
