Must say jeff's is a more eye catching design, Id probably ask him to change the colour of the bubbles to blue and tell him he has  a deal.

I like the design apart from the stars, being honest it reminds me of a firework? no offense meant!!!

I agree with Trevor... It would look more professional with no stars.

RED:

Here are some of the physiological effects of the colour red:

Red increases the pulse and heart rate, and raises your blood pressure. It increases the appetite by increasing your metabolism, which is why red is such a popular color in restaurants. It is active, aggressive and outspoken.

hi

the reason i didn't make my own logo is because  i belive that image is very important in todays market so i got a professional logo company to design it for me.  and the same goes for my website i will be spending around £750+  on geting my web site designed that's just the way i am, i have aways been the same. ::)

As for Trevor Knight's comments there was no offense taken i can see by the picture 2 vans plus staff that you are one of the few cleaners on this site that knows how to run a business ;)
Title: Re: just had my logo designed
Post by: Nathan Ferry on September 27, 2007, 01:11:10 pm
No offense but for £750 it should be good, as for a professional logo company, i would not say that you have used the service of one with the logo you have pictured above, too be honest it is terrible.

There are shed loads of logo design companies who have no clue, and they love designing for clients who also have no clue.

Good thing is you are willing to spend a generous amount on your image, just be careful.

Check out www.on-idle.com (branding)

Looking at the logodepot portfolio, they could improve your logo, they can design.

Keep it simple and not too busy.

Thats the only thing that matters in the end Paul, you like the logo and your happy.
In my original post to you, I was just showing you how quick it can be, to design a logo from scratch, no offence meant ;)

Post by: nat on September 27, 2007, 04:20:44 pm
i thought the original logo was alright! wern't that bad and the stars make it look a bit bling! (only messing) at least it looks clean, professional and stands out despite what some say ::) thier other logos on there site ain't bad either.  ;)
Title: Re: just had my logo designed
Post by: chrismroberts on September 27, 2007, 06:17:05 pm
I liked the original too :) Very clean looking :) Although I must say, blue stars would look quite cool!

Hi Ivesons,

Just thought that I would add my five penny worth!

Generally I like your logo, you can tell that it has been designed by professionals as the text font on the logo is crisp and well defined, this is the most important part of any logo. Your text is also a good size in comparison to the overall logo.

I am not so keen on the stars though as they do not flow as well as some designs, but they are bright and well defined.

Why not pay a professional to do their job. Not all window cleaners have Jeff's natural ability with graphics programs!
Title: Re: just had my logo designed
Post by: SonOfFormby on September 28, 2007, 08:24:31 am
Which program did you use Jeff, as Im interested in having a go.BTW How much do you charge for graphic design?

I use one of two programs
Logo creator4 or Logo design studio,
I don't charge anything, so long as nobody wants to take up hours of  my time. ;)

Title: Re: just had my logo designed

ivesons- that logo looks really good but it would only take about 30 mins to do, it is just text and objects with gradients applied, Luke

Can't see your design Luke.
Anyway, it's what the ivesons management team like that matters and he's gone with the pro.
Assuming Iveson is his name I find the branding a bit strange.

Luke you can do them all one if you want, i really don't mind, and you do,do good Logo's ;)

But I do them free, for a couple of reasons, the first reason is, your all my Colleagues, all be it internet ones, one day I might meet some of you and then I can have a free beer  ;D, another reason is, I love helping people, but my main reason for doing them free, is I owe a lot, to a lot of members, who's advice I asked for and got, if it wasn't for the valuable advice, I would still be stuck up my ladders earning less money, normally advice does not come free, but on w/c forums, its all free, Its Just my way of saying thank you and paying back my debt.

If you want to sell your logo's? there is nothing stopping you, I personally hope you do sell them, and make a few bob out of it, I'm no graphic designer, so they get what I can do in the time I have.

So far to date, I have written a beginners guide to wfp, that gets regular updates, I have also designed and built a backpack extension switch, I have emailed the manual for the switch to no less than 100 members, both of these I could have made money on by selling to you guy's, I have also written many electrical topics, that are stuck on many w/c forums, Its just me, I love helping people. ;)

PS I did see your logo's, they were good, but now they have gone ::) I was on my way out, so didn't have the time to post my comments on them.
Go for it Dude and make some money ;)

what talented bunch you guys are.
Just got me new van and am thinking about sign writing ideas.   Anyone want to earn a couple of bob for a small design for me.

Nothing too fancy but anything considered with T.V.C.S in it  or Teme Valley Cleaning services.  my email is captainantonio@msn.com (the email to our website isn't up and running yet, much like the rest of the website really,)

Quite inpressed with squeaks designs but if anyone else fancies having a go then let me know.  Sorry to sound like a cheeky t*** for jumping on this thread like this.
Thanks in advance for any replies

Hi Luke,

I like your designs, I've just started an executive taxi hire business, in addition to the cleaning business,  and am looking for a nice logo. Can you help, I've already tried logomaker on the net, but to be honest their effort is pretty poor.

The new company is called Express Cars. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Huw.
