Title: New Logo
Post by: Marc's on the Glass, LLC on February 10, 2006, 04:38:46 am: Hi everybody!

I am in the works of putting together a logo for the company. Our target is up-scale residential and commercial work.

I have 2 logos (1 for each). These are the first drafts. What do you think? I appreciate your input!!!

Go for this one, especially for the money areas. I did a design course with the Open University, and what you find with any advertising are connotations, in other words things that remind people of other things. The first one reminds me of something quality.

If any onybody wishes to design logos etc, i reccommend a programme call Serif Drawplus. This is a suite of programmes that includes Pageplus as well. It is a fairly simple programme and you can utilise digital photos (or scanned photos) in with your designs. The programme is about £30 - £40 which is cheap compared to a professional programme which would cost you around £500. The only down side is that many printers do not recognise this programme so you can't give your designs to them on a disk. To get around this problem, i bought a cheap Epson photo printer from Asda for £50 and i woud print my designs out on cheap glossy photo paper at £5 a packet and printed on best quality setting.

I have just used this to have some flyers made for me. Remember that as long as flyers do not offer a discount, or free admission into a building or do not have a space to write on, then you do not have to pay vat on them. This was pointed out to me the other wek and i have verified this.

Post by: Ben Walker on February 11, 2006, 08:39:15 pm: i like both
i do wonder though that the w/c in the 1st, being in silouette and croutched, looks a bit like a burglar!! Dave will have something to say about this connotation!

Post by: Marc's on the Glass, LLC on February 11, 2006, 10:44:06 pm: Thanks guys! I appreciate your opinions. Never thought about the burglar though!

I hope through good graphics that I can appeal to the home-owners moe than the competition.

*Incidentally... it's done a little differently here. Residential work is rarely recurring (more than 1/year). So there isn't an issue of poaching anyone's route. Generally, a W/C will advertise in a phone book or use flyers every year.

Best appearance is what I'm shooting for. I have gotten jobs (being the highest bidder) because of professional bid sheets and so on...

Post by: Ben Walker on February 11, 2006, 11:57:33 pm: yes i think the 1st one gives the best appearance, bar burglar! its a good one.
remove the " " and you'll save the catch-phrase from being too cheesy too.

LLC = Limited Liability Company

A business type that is protected form lawsuits, essentially. My business would never be in danger should someone sue and win.
