Kevin, I wanted to help, but your .eps is REALLY pixillated.
Either that or I drank too much last night.

nice design Kevin, I wouldn’t change the printed log except change the shadow to a pale subtle light Grey & have put a royal blue shadow & thin outline around the yellow “tick” (not sure what to call it) as it would blend in with the white paintwork.
One of my pet hates is the word “Mob” I don’t know what the font is that you have used for that but i like it, so have added the “ile:” in arial.
Also added the phone icon instead of “Tel”Tried to shrink it down to export as a .jpeg but all the colours change for the worst, so have left it as eps.
Overall nice design mate.

Hi John
thanks for your input, i know what you mean about “Mob” inserted numbers as after though just before posting. Still undecided on design but thats what my problem always is complete a design or logo for myself but never commit to it and end up starting again.Jill i’ve loaded it up as corel file from Corel 12 if you or anyone else fancy having an input

Thank you Kevin.
I am on Corel 9, so I guess it’s just not my day.
I would have to agree with the “Mob” or “Tel” comments tho….you know my feelings on using those phrases.
But an abbreviation is even worse!

Here ya go, not too creative today I fear.
The only thing I thought it needed was some re-arranging and a punchy outline.

Kev,
I think it’s important to get the word Signs correct as it’s such a large part of the design……. a bit of work on the spacing/joining [g-n then others]
Maybe make the whole word more digital 3d? [attached?-idea[still work needed]]
Looks good though and would get noticed.Cheers

Could I ask a really stupid question? How did you create the 3D effect, and which software. Got corel and flexi, but when i convert to bitmap i,m not happy with the quality.Thanks Matt
