Title: Ionics logo.
Post by: Klean07 on March 08, 2012, 04:23:43 pm
I've seen a few vans locally with Ionics Reach and Wash logo splashed over their vans etc.
Just curious as to wether this is still allowed or not. If it is then I'm going to put it on my next new van!!

I've wondered that before.

Much as I like Gardiners products I see no good reason to put one of their stickers on my van to advertize their company. If I did, they should pay me.

Couldn't agree more.

Why give another company free advertising? Would they return the favour?

I doubt it!

Trouble with having a Gardiners sticker on van is you are telling people you have the best poles in the world inside!  :o

I totally agree with DD & Jackel, what the hell is the point of having either Ionics Logo or Gardiners Poles on the side of your van?

Firstly, if I did as previously mentioned I would want paying to do so in a form of sponsorship, free poles or systems. They dont advertise for me??? And I use Gardiners Pole!!

Secondly, who the hell would want a picture on their van that says nothing? Ionics Logo looks like a cartoon man running, carrying a stick! Its a crap Logo and very badly designed, in my humble opinion! Its Rubbish, any windy that uses that just show a lack of imagination and drive! it does absolutely nothing to advertise Window Cleaning to the average Jo soap in the street! The only people that actually know what that logo is, is us Window Cleaners!

Thirdly, Mrs Jo Soap who wants her windows cleaned doesn't care if you use Gardiners or Ionics products, they just want their windows to shine!She will go with Price and professionalism over product everytime!

Anyway thats my two peneth worth and rant over, just to keep you going heres a picture of a cartoon man running with a stick........ LOL....

Everyone seems to have missed the more serious issue here: Gardiners seem to have stopped doing their pens. Perhaps Alex is designing a sl lightweight range to reduce strain issues when writing out bills.

There is loads of vans with the Reach & Wash logo,I even see them on Ebay now and then and every one of them have a DIY system inside,it's funny bacause I know of numerous window cleaners that have systems fitted by Ionics but don't have the logo on their van yet the ones that do have the logo on don't have their system ???

The phrase "Reach & Wash" and the Reach and Wash Symbol are internationally registered trade marks of Ionic Systems Ltd

the Ionics reach and wash logo is image descriptive of what you do in a way, and the method you use
as with gardeners label it is just a name (not to diss Mr Gardiner ;D)

I find it quite funny how Ionics screw anyone for using something they stole from BT!! For those old enough to recall the old BT logo there is a striking resemblance.

hey Carl, would you like some Vaseline to help get your Tongue out of their asses?  Lol Lol

Ionics Logo is useless to anyone but a Windy!
A lot of us use Gardiners Poles, but neither pay us to advertise for them, we pay THEM!
And they want US to advertise for free????
Get a grip fella.... its a free market out there...
Sometimes I shop at Tesco, sometimes at Asda, sometimes at Sainsbury's, None of which are advertised on my Van!
