which logo do you prefer the top or bottom one?

[George Elsmore]

middle one 😀

[Glenn Sharp]

bottom one for me but I would add another colour

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Bottom.
The top one looks cheesy.
😉
Love….Jill

[Hugh Potter]

don’t beat about the bush, Jill !!!

but yeah, bottom one for me too !

[Mathew Gibson]

Bottom one defo but add another colour

[Shane Drew]

I’d change from such a ‘blocky’ font in the top one, and that would be my choice then. Don’t like the font so don’t like either at the mo… sorry mate…

The bottom one looks like it has too many different fonts to me, definitely would use a more modern style though 😳

I’ll get me coat shall I?

[Glenn Sharp]

yeah…fair point Shane….I don’t like that block font either….that is one ugly looking S

[Warren Beard]

I sort of prefer the top one as it is a little more fancy and creative looking but not sure about the word "the" and the ".co.uk" but I quiet like the two main words.

The bottom one if I remember correctly looks very similar to what you have at present, nice bold and clear but a little plain for me, I think customers will either be excited by your logo or not, so it’s in the eye of the beholder a bit 😕

enough babbling

cheers

Warren

[John Gregson]

I like the top one best – sorry Phill 😉

[Graeme Harrold]

Same comment from me..

Bottom one with a second colour

:lol1: bet yours is the top one???

[Robert Lambie]

of the two, i prefer the lower one. but it needs something more… im not keen on the heavy font.
the top one is a bit too disjointed, if that makes sense? the overall design doesn’t flow/connect for me…

[Steve Holden]

Phil, they are both pretty good in different ways but ……
after much deliberation I’m going for the bottom one, I think …..

[David Glen]

Bottom one.
Move the lines up a bit and justify with the ends of "signs".
Change "The Right" and the web address to black.
A slightly less heavy font for "signs".

[Andre Woodcock]

Phil, Try add a second color in the bottom one. Like the top one.

[Lynn Normington]

bottom one with a less heavy font (still bold though) and another colour added

Lynn

[James Martin]

Bottom

[Phil Halling]

Prefer the bottom one, but as I was bored couldn’t resist having a go at one myself.

Thanks Phil – I like that

Here’s another version of the Bottom example – this was done a few days ago after seeing a post made by Andy.

(Alison’s fuming by the way 😉 )

Still think it needs "www." in it, the "the" going straight into an R doesn’t look quite right somehow – adding the www. takes your eye away from it a bit.

Just my two bobs worth, overall a lot better :thumbup2:

[Roy Roberts]

I prefer Phil Hallings,

But given the choice of the 2 I would go for the top one.

Regards

Roy.

[John Childs]

Well, I would miss out any reference to .co.uk as your website was last updated three years ago. :peek:

Apart from that, I like Phil Halling’s best, followed by the bottom one.

I do think that the final choice should be made with your intended market in mind. If you want the boy racer customer then go for the fancy shaded print option. If you want corporate business then go for something more staid, reassuring and comforting.

Just my opinion. 😀

maybe a tweed pattern print ? :lol1:

what was the prize?????

bottom in pink & cyan blue….

mmmmmmmmm

[JonnyAnnett]

Phill,

Can I ask what is the font used in ‘Signs’ on the top one? I’ve a client that wants their vehicle livery continued, they used a different signwriter before.

Cheers
J

P.S. I’d go for the bottom one with another colour added.

[Robert Lambie]

Had a go myself… again, apologies for lack of fonts on my system. i really need to get something done about it… :lol1: 🙄

(Alison’s fuming by the way 😉 )

Phil just my humble, the black outline in "the right" is spoiling the legibility, it seems far to thick, maybe its the jpeg though, but if not, I would reduce, or leave it off.

The font is called Rapier in Signlab – it’s also used for "The Right" on the bottom example. To explain a bit further – I wanted something that would look very similar to what we have used for the last 11 years (But with the main message being "Signs" rather than "Right" which is the case just now)

Existing "Logo"

– Whereas Alison wanted us to try something completely different, Hence the Top example was hers, the bottom one mine.

Thanks for your suggestion too Rob – that’s a much more corporate image and I take on board what John has said about trying to appeal to our target market.

Peter – thanks for pointing that out – yes I can see now that the outline is too thick.

[Phill Fenton]

Here’s the latest version after listening to your suggestions

[Nicola McIntosh]

agree with phils suggestion with the www but the right signs still doesnt seem right, the font and the size 😕

[Andrew Boyle]

If you go that way Phill I think the web address may be better a little smaller………… small big small 😕

[Peter Normington]

its getting there, but personally I think "www" should now be dropped in all web addresses, its not needed and just takes up space. I always advise my customers to leave it out,

Bottom one for me. I like the latest one best, with the www text smaller as in Andrew’s version. These days I think using the www, or not, depends on look and balance rather than necessity.

Look and balance can’t be based on www or not, its only because we expect to see it, Its like the tel: telephone: phone: thing,

sorry completely off topic subject, but it would make a good discussion on its own.

I agree certain words look better with the www. some without.
Phill’s looks balanced with….in my opinion (?)

[Martin Cole]

Your latest version for me too.
I like Andrew’s use of the web address better. Just not over struck on the Rapier font Phill, a nice purchased script would suit better I feel.

Couldn’t resist a dabble anyway 😀

True, but why do you need the www to make it work, you’re the expert,
cant you do it without? it just seems old hat to put www in front of a web address, and totally unnecessary,

Peter

[Phil Halling]

www. or not, I still think it depends on what follows. I still read phill’s address as theright signs instead of the right signs, unless of course his name is Phill Theright.

[Peter Normington]

quote Phil Halling:

I agree, Robs take is excellent (notice no www)
But I think a version of Alison and Phils logo is more desirable for them, as it is based on their own design.

Peter

[Andrew Boyle]

no www. and balanced 😀 😀 different starting point 😀 I agree :lol1:

[Peter Normington]

I dont think a web address should be included in the logo anyway, most people would just google " the right signs" anyway, and phils company comes up top.

Maybe different if your business is web based, like confused.com

Peter

[Bill McMurtry]

Peter, what if including a web address (or a phone number even though you’re in the book) generates more sales enquiries? Isn’t that a good thing?

[Peter Normington]

Bill, anything that generates more business is a good thing, ten years ago it would have been important to get the fact that you had a web address, across. I’m not so sure it’s needed now though, as most people would use a search engine to look up a company name, or make an educated guess that it was the business name+ the dot extension.
I’m not saying a web address is not needed, just it doesn’t need advertising with your name. as it is only saying things twice, maybe "The
Right Signs" and then a strap line would be better? leaving web address and contact details to be placed elswhere in the copy.

Just my thoughts

Peter

After all this debate what was the bloody prize and who won it?
