Struggling with my own Logo

[John Hughes]

works for me – although the background circles make it a tad complicated

Hi Matt,

I like it but there are a couple of things that I would personally do different

I think the ‘Works’ needs to tie in with the ‘Sign’ ……as it is it looks more like just part of the address where it is now

I like the effect you’ve done on the word ‘Sign’ but I think it’s a little too harsh…..i.e, it makes me want to turn it back into the light to be able to read it properly if you know what I mean?

Any chance of putting an EPS up so we could have a play?

[Neil Davey]

Your logo is popular, 714 views 😮

Agree with Glenn plus how are you going to reproduce it? Do you have a printer?

[Matt Hammond]

Thanks guys i know what you mean about it being complicated I did not want it to be as such, but so far is the only way i can get it to the stage where I like the look in general

I did have the Works tied in with the Sign but again I just could not get it to look right lol

Thanks Glenn I have attached a Illustrator eps

Neil yes I have a Uniform Cadet Printer

Thanks
Matt

It’s down to your own preference mate. I like it…..very smart and to the point. 😉

Hi Matt,

sorry, I can’t open it in Corel

Downloaded 71 times already 😮 😮 😮

[Matt Hammond]

Thanks Glenn Dam I dont have Corel will corel not open any Illustrator files or Exports?

Thanks Karl I like it, i think its just I know that technically its not really right, I think like Glenn Said the word Works should really tie in more with Sign

Thanks
Matt

I would be a little bit cautious about what you design as your logo. Bear in mind that it will feature on letterheads and business cards which are not generally printed in full colour. So try and tweak your design to look good in black and white as well as in full colour before commiting.

[Matt Hammond]

Good point Phill I started out in B & W when designing it and it did look pretty sharp also using tints of the black for the Circles

207 downloads?
Something fishy going on?

Basic design look good , but agree with glen about the "works"

probably an attempt to overload the signboards server, it just dropped out a couple of times for me.

dont know if I am correct though,

[Matt Hammond]

Rob would it help to remove the logo or post feel free to if it stops someone messing about?

Thanks

Hi
i think you need to put the word ‘works’ next to ‘sign’ in the same font as you have ‘sign’ and then ‘northwest’ underneath as you have it. I think then it would work well in black and white if you took the colour blend away and just had that area in white.

[Liam Pattison]

And i think you should get rid of the background circles totally, as someone else mentioned they make it a bit too busy.

Move the word "sign" over to the right a fraction, as it is not centred and looks a bit odd.

Having said that, at 1102 downloads it looks like everyone will have the same logo.

[Matt Hammond]

Thanks guys, Made a few adjustments so hope this is a better with or without circles

Thanks
Matt

yep i could live with that for a while (not saying how long a while is)

😀

[Matt Hammond]

😀 it looks better like that just got to transfer it onto the van i have been having a play around with it but again still hard to like what i have done on the van

[Chris Wool]

what van and colour

[Glenn Sharp]

Matt,

I think it’s looking good now….

I personally think the black keyline around SignWorks is a touch heavy……I think I would like to see it the same weight as the white one but that could just be me

I agree with Chris that the positioning odf Northwest looks better over to the right

Nice looking Logo though 😀

[Matt Hammond]

Chris its a Vauxhall Astra van in White

My idea after playing with it was to wrap it in Very Dark grey Matt
Then apply Gloss Graphics over that maybe?

The logo should be angled more

I find the highlight through the name a bit strong and actually makes the name a little harder to read, I would soften the white area a bit more, just a bit so you keep the effect but a little more subtle.

[Chris Wool]

nice point warren.

in real life the logo can not flow down over the bulging waist band as it would distort to much.
very much like the mat gloss idea.

i have put domed clear letters on to mat and looks very up market. unlike me.
