What d'you think? It's just a start, I'll probably put the phone numbers underneath with smaller font.

clever but maybe the OWC needs to be slightly more subtle colour so stands out but not jump out ... if u see what im saying

Maybe change the owc to a less contrasting orange, it's a bit too bright and makes it harder to read the whole address

The OWC stands out too much... it makes the whole lot difficult to read.

Why do you want your logo to incorporate your URL ?

Also... Do you want to be known as OWC or Oakley Window Cleaning ?    Use one or the other.

Well, I would not take any advice from this crowd, as the OWC is the shortened  name for you business it should be bold as you van passes you only have  few seconds to red the orange will work.
My best advice is make up your own mind at what you are trying to achieve.

I like the colours. But I found it difficult to read and the only words I saw straight away were 'wind' and 'leaning'

Agree with Andy* in that URL or logo.

It's the best place to take advice as we All have logos so know what works... Owc doesn't mean anything to people, they need to know its a window cleaner, clarity is key. Look at any major brand, it will always be clear.

My wife works in marketing, rule number 1, make sure your brand is clear and easy to read. Take tesco and asda for example - big clear writing, simple brands.

Thats what the missus said last night.

Why not just have 'Oakley window cleaning' or if you want owc, then have 'owc window cleaners'

Make it simple, it's obviously up to you, try some other layouts out etc

Yup - an eye catching logo can work wonders for customer conversion,.. I'd challenge a few fiverr.com designers to come up with ideas - at $5 a pop it doesn't matter if it takes a few attempts & you can get really nice results if you find the right designer...

Naughty!  ;D

Surely if the urban slang was 'OWC' it would make more sense?!

If you're gonna highlight the OWC bit, why not buy owc.co.uk too?
Thats what people may remember...
