    Hi Nancy.
    I had a go with your logo.
    I find that typestyle difficult to read, and the heartbeat idea
    (at least here) is a very dated 80s motif reminding me of Chevrolet.
    Just my 2ยข. Remember my designs tend to be simple.
    Love….Jill

    I’m assuming the client wants to stay with the ‘stop’ font eh nancy? My preference is #2. Keeps the colours but is a new version easier to read.

    The heartbeat makes it more cluttered. Especially as the font is hard to read in the 1st place.

    just my thought

    If forced to, I would go with the second one down.
    Easier to read.
    I would, however, completely eliminate the fade in the copy.
    It makes E.C.TECH even less readable.
    If you must, keep the fade on the ellipse.
    But I feel that would look better in full color as well.
    And please don’t put that horizontal barber pole in it! ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Love….Jill

    Hi Nancy,

    I agree with Jill’s suggestions. It really is hard to read, and when designing a logo I always consider how it will be reproduced for all their letterheads, biz cards, website and any other promotional material.

    I took a stab at it not knowing anything about this company. By the looks of your heartbeat graphic shall I assume that it’s something to do with the medical field?

    I tried to keep it really clean with just a couple of effects for some flavor. A neat little graphic on it can kind of communicate some sort of idea what the company is.

    Hope this helps.

    Stevo

    Hi Nancy

    I do think they look a little dated and would go along with the comments made. You’ve had the 2 best designers on the boards give sound advice, oh and Shane. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Steve’s is very clean and would reproduce well on stationary etc as he
    mentioned.

    Saying that I had a quick tinker, has no red though.

    I would like to know what this firm is about before I can really do anything with their logo.
    If they sell cars or do flower arrengements the logo has to differ.
    But maybe you all know what this firm does…

    (and a few minutes later…)

    …sorry, just read Steves input, he kind of covered this one…

    I was thinking they do electronics, and would agree that you need to know what they are doing before producing a logo.

    cheers

    Mr Andrew Boyle’s logo design shouts less is more, easy and very clean to the eye it gets my vote.

    I’d go for something really simple like this. The tick gives the concept of approval without using words.

    Just my 2c tho
