  • can anyone help with this logo please?

    Hi

    I’ve been asked by my customer to make him a logo from his three initials
    JCR but I’m drawing a blank.

    He’s also wanting to see the logo with Construction after the C and Renovation after the R with Property Maintenance below

    He’s already looked at my swatches and chosen cream lettering but I’m sure I could persuade him to change that.

    I’ve attached my attempt but I’m having trouble getting it to work so does anyone have any ideas?

    I’ll keep trying but I’ll have to admit my creative design is not very good. I tend to like to keep to simple clear stuff like "Freds building services" and boring things like that 😳 and there some very talented people on here that my be able to point me in the right direction.

    Forgot to say it’s going onto a blue Transit van

    Thanks
    Steve

    Nearly forgot the font I used is Charlesworth, I kind of liked it 😕

    if i get a bit of time later ill maybe have a go at this one mate.
    you have a nice design there using these letters but it doesnt look like a construction company font/style, if that makes sense?that said, the customer may love it! 😀

    Just something quickly.

    If they are the conservative type, they will not like it. Just a thought tho

    OOh Shane I like that, punchy and bright.
    Here’s my take, I dislike having to use initials then words, seems redundant,
    but the customer is always right huh.
    Love…..Jill

    Hi there,

    Please don’t laugh too much – this is my first go at posting any of my stuff up here!!

    You said cream on a blue van, I had a quick play and came up with this, although I think the outline initials aren’t bold enough against the solid letters of the ‘onstruction’ etc…(I’d rather tone the lettering down than make the initials bolder though!) Like I said – this is just a quick idea for layout/style…..

    I didn’t know whether the words ‘construction’ had to be separate from the three initials, but I took them off anyway! Hope this is OK?

    I did it more for constructive feedback from all you experts out there?? 😉

    Maybe of some use to you??

    Regards for now,

    Bruce.

    Bruce I like that and think it fits the criteria steve asked for, I would agree with your own crit the initials aren’t bold enough,
    good stuff

    I like that Bruce, nice and clean.
    I did use onstruction and esoration on mine too, but changed it after I re-read the initial post.
    I think your initials are just fine actually, and the swoosh ties it all together.
    Love…..Jill

    I like it too bruce, but the only thing against it in my opinion is that the outlined letters would be ‘lost’ from a distance on the van.

    Well done tho, and thanks for sharing.

    Steve has a few ideas now, from several different ‘concepts’

    Wow I’m stunned.
    I like all them for different reasons, but the main thing is the addition of a shape with each design, I never think of using additional shapes etc with my designs and I think that’s what mainly sets them apart from my boring designs.

    I worked on mine a bit and made it a little more interesting and showed the customer and he seemed happy with the design so I should be doing the van next week, I’ll maybe post a picture if I’m happy with it 🙂

    Many thanks for the ideas as I’ll try some of them in the near future. Or I may add to the existing design.

    Thanks again
    Steve

    A shape always adds another dimension you can’t get with just text mate, you should give it a try next time 😛

    Well I showed my customer these designs as well and he liked Bruce’s design with a few tweaks.
    Hope you don’t mind Bruce 🙂 I’ll buy you a few pints at the sign show if your going *drink*

    I’ll post some pics when it’s done.
