Problem I see with that designs is it’s not obvious what you do. The graffix message is lost. Problem with us being in the sign game we have to produce something extra special

[OwenTaylor]

It’s not bad but I’d make the whole logo a lot bigger and as Kevin says, emphasise the ‘graffix’ element. I like the idea of a part wrap but maybe this could be made more distinctive in some way – possibly use the shape of the Aardvark from the logo?

[Mo Gillis-Coates]

George I Love the logo, that works really well.

These are my thoughts, I know how difficult it is to do your own, I think it really needs to smack you in the face and be a real head turner, otherwise people may think your just another signs company.

We used a full photo one way graphic on the back of our 4×4 to advertise the company and people often stop me in garages etc to ask about what we do, so far it’s generated a good proportion of our income just from that, so I’m a firm believer in creating something that invites people to talk to you. Maybe a concept design would be better.

The design is simple and quite pleasing on the eye, but I think you really need to show people what you can do…. have fun with it, I use our car to practice stuff on, but again it’s out there and turns heads.

Transit Connects are great platforms to work off, I loved doing our connect. I put a photo so someone actually fitting graphics to the van as part of the design, so they looked incomplete but it also looked like we where actually working on the van wherever it was… sadly the engine died so it’s in the big sign graveyard now.

Do anything on it however daft, you might surprise yourself!

This is just my "humble" inexperienced opinion 😉

Sorry George changed the colours and moved your logo elements slightly!!!
Gone for a more earthy look.
A different slant on it tho!

i like but get rid of the pure ellipses… do something funky

[Mo Gillis-Coates]

Just my quirky take on it…….. would need some adjustment as the logo needs to be a bit bigger, but pushed for time

Had a few spare moments and a blast of inspiration and thought of this, easy enough to do in just vinyl overlays…….
