  • Help with haulage logo?

    Posted by Gary Davis on February 14, 2009 at 1:08 pm

    hi,

    I put together a logo for a haulage company and was happy with colours but now i find it has to go on a blue vehicle as well. not keen on putting a white box around it so i have played with the colours.

    2 problems….im not sure what colours to do it that doesnt look odd with the blue, i think the one below is a bit plain. I’m worried it looks abit to old fashioned?

    secondly i need to get Light Haulage in there, have tried putting Light above the haulage part and altering the spacing to cover the whole width but being such a short word in the first place it just doesnt look right

    any ideas welcomed even if completely different, ignore the tag line its just to balance the design at mo, will be changed

    thanks in advance
    gary

    EDIt the blue has come out different on the JPEG conversion imagine a mid blue!!

    Hi Gary

    post up an eps file and some may play around with your design.

    I would maybe add the "light" above the "haulage" with a line on either side of "light" to balance it out, it onlt needs to be small as it is secondary to the main message of being a Haulage company.

    post up an ai or eos file and people might be able to help easier.

    sorry, hope that helps a bit

    cheers

    Warren

    😉
    One thing I can see instantly that would help this logo is to NOT use Brush Script.
    And if you must use that font, please weld/connect the letters. A script is supposed to flow as if it was handwritten.
    Love….Jill
