    Nick
    tidy up the arrow end om the capital G, maybe try it with the word COACHES central so it is closer to the G and enclosed in the road. Hope that makes sense

    Has your customer seen this logo yet?

    If not I wouldn’t spend to much time trying to get it spot on. I usually do three quick layouts and hopefully they’ll pick a favorite for me to work on (& it’s normally not the one I’d pick :roll:)

    This would be my take on it.
    I think the road graphic was too distracting initially and made it all look off level.

    For what it’s worth, I’d agree with Peter.
    Clarity is essential and I like the layout. One other wee point, confidence and perceptions go a very long way with the customer…

    Best of Luck,

    Timmy

    Nicholas, having given some input on this, I was interested to see how it worked out?

    Hi Peter, Showed the customer and he now doesn’t know what he wants because he said i have shown him 2 much. I really feel like i have hit a wall on this one at the minute and don’t know how to get over it. I really liked your idea.

    Ha ha, one too many choices for a female… 😉

    Like ‘er indoors, drives past 50 empty spaces in Sainsbury’s trying to decide where to park.

    Sounds like the problem is your lack of confidence as much as the customer being unable to decide. Most people aren’t really that sure so it’s up to you as the designer to point out the differences between each choice you give the customer and give them your opinion of which you as the expert think will work best for them.

    I like the third one down and so does the customer but he now doesn’t know if he likes it. He says I gave him 2much choice.
