You may have made it yourself but it's damned close to an organisation who will probably be in contact with you about it.

This forum was set up to help others.
So I guess you don't agree with people who choose to include other services other than window cleaning. I consider your posts are trolling. You have nothing constructive to offer in advice yet you just critisice. I find when I have nothing useful to say I keep my mouth shut.

He's right though.
It doesn't look like a window cleaner at all.

If I saw that I wouldn't have clue what it meant.
Nor the official one, that means nothing too.

Can't say I've ever used that stance to clean a window.

Yep I agree it doesnt really look like a person cleaning a window and certainly not at that stance but I really think Ionics got their 'inspiration' for their logo from the old BT logo. In case you dont remember what it was like It was very similar to Ionics but with a horn instead of a wfp in the hands.

Ionics must be right cowboys.

You would probably get away with it in a court of law!

But do you really want everyone to think that you have ripped off Ionics Logo?

Title: Re: Logo

Yeah, surely aim higher than that!

PLEASE, if we are not able to be constructive then lets not comment at all? Further postings like this will be removed as they really are not what this forum is about!

Regarding your logo Bazz,

To be honest, it is very similar to Ionics and may well attract the views of Criag regarding trading off his logo?

Personally, if you are able to use computer graphics like you have I would suggest making your "own" unique logo that promotes "YOU" and not someone else?
Title: Re: Logo
Post by: Bazzy1999 on May 13, 2007, 11:00:34 am
After reading all your post i think you are all right that i should design my own and like Trevor says why promote someone else...

Cheers guys


Bazz...

thats because you havent got a ionics system,

if you notice the stance, its a standing sprinters stance, which of course when you get out of the van you need to do that stance, as you need to run around all day to earn the money to pay for the "well-priced system"  ;D ;D

Hi Easyclean windows,

Nice logo, if I'm not mistaken that is a Omnipole-Powerpole with a Gardiner Pole Systems Aluminium gooseneck and head.

Hi Alex W,

Like the water graphic, that would really stand out on the side of a black van.

It does look like chicken's legs doesn't it?
Come to think of it, it's not a normal man, it's a rare duck-headed man. ;D

Hi Marc,

I understand what you mean but nevertheless, we cannot condone or permit people to put postings on here that really are not necessary.

Yes I agree people will be remembered but I hope for the right reasons!

Sorry, Marc, just doing my job!

Is that an Unger Ergo Tec pole you've put on there is it Mr Foxman??

I've heard they're really amazing.  Where can I get one? If only there was a supplier I knew that sold them!

Anyway that pole is the new extel isnt it.

Post by: john_linden on May 15, 2007, 02:27:55 pm
Yeah I don't agree with you, so natuarally I'm from the evil empire.   Ooooh, spooky.

There was a time on forums when you could come and get good advice without every joe and his dog saying "buy my stuff, buy my stuff".  From what I've seen those days are gone and yes it gets my goat.  I just think that forums should be for us window cleaners and not for you or any one else to push their stuff on us.

How sad

Title: Re: Logo
Post by: *foxman on May 15, 2007, 03:01:39 pm
Hang on a minute, who's going 'buy my stuff, buy my stuff'?? It certainly isn't myself, if your going to have a go at someone have a look at sair (esentiallypure) postings - every single one he's trying to flog something. Dont lump me in with that, get your facts straight. Oh and this forum is supported and owned by a supplier, go figure.

Besides that when have you contributed to any forum??? You've posted a handful of times, having a go at someone most the time, with nothing of any interest to say. The word Leech comes to mind.

You've got an agenda which is plainly obvious, very transparent and very sad.
Title: Re: Logo
Post by: Clive McDonald on May 15, 2007, 05:00:16 pm
I think it's intended to be joke.

He's taken the name of someone else but added an underscore _.

So it(his posts) are mean't be ironic, I think. Half the time when I crack jokes they don't come off either.

Getting back to ALEX's thing. What is it's purpose, a representation of what we do?

If you keep going you will probably get somewhere, but you are not there yet.
Title: Re: Logo
Post by: Moderator David@stives on May 15, 2007, 06:20:24 pm
Its not a joke he had a go on another forum.

I will say one thing Foxman has been here a long time and not once has he directed anyone to his website or tried to sell anyone anything. He comes here as himself not as a supplier.

Oh come on!  You're all as bad as each other.  Maybe you're not the worst, if thats something that you can feel proud about, then good for you.

Why dont you go back to shopkeeping and leave us to have decent discussions without the sales pitch, like forums used to be and should be.
Title: Re: Logo
Post by: *foxman on May 16, 2007, 05:07:13 pm
and? Every one is relating to the post and a request - not a sales pitch and they are going back to 2004!! That works out at 5 posts year.

Sair and Gardiners probably do more than 5 posts a day flogging stuff.......

Why don't you come clean with who you really are?
