Is Divers his last name (A. Divers)
or is it the archaic spelling of diverse, or is he a deep-sea diver?
Love….Jill

Divers is his last name

It’s a Groundswork & Landscaping company

I might be barking up wrong street John but if it’s a logo for his business then would it not be better as a simple 1-2-3 colour logo rather than digi print from point of view of his administration stuff e.g. invoices that may be photo copied into black and white by his customers as one example? A multi-colour usually turns to ‘mush’ at the stationary end of things.

Ian :lol1:

[John Wilson]

I’ll be doing all his stuff so I’ll just need to make sure I do it well…. just throwing something together the now for review

use the pen tool to draw around the area you want to see and then make a clipping mask.

[John Wilson]

Rough and simple

Or should I scrap this idea?

…. is doing a logo for a good friend that has helped me rebuild my workshop who has asked if I could create a logo for him now that he’s running his own business after his father has retired 😮

Gees I thought it was hard trying to come up with my own logo :lol1:

Looking for something that can be digitally printed rather than just plain colour

His company is called “A Divers Contracts Ltd” so I had the idea of using the A as the side of a excavator if that makes sense? or does that should lame?

Opinions please 😎

Hi John,

With his name being Divers id avoid that too as it could cause confusion. Why not ADC ltd

If i wasn’t so tired id try and come up with something.

.

[Nigel Hindley]

Groundwork and landscaping easy as ADC

[John Wilson]

He wants it to be "A Divers Contracts Ltd" I’ve tried to get him to use something else but he won’t budge as it used to be "D Divers Contracts Ltd" when his dad run it :lol1:

There’s no budging him either 🙁

[Neil Speirs]

Here’s another take on it

[Lynn Normington]

sorry John A Divers sounds too much like deep sea diving stuff, not ground works etc. I know it’s his name 🙄 no help at all

Lynn

[Glenn Sharp]

I like that Neil……..the texts too stretched for me personally but I think that is very nice

[Ian Muir]

dunno???

Hi John,

Try designing it in black and white first, if it works on this level it has more of a chance when introducing colour.

I agree with Lynn about the Divers, i also taught "deep sea" so if he will not go with ADC ltd i think he will need a symbol/ image similar to Neils or Ians.
Maybe take a slice off the wheel tracks with the text to the right…

[Warren Beard]

or use his full name then and not just "A"

ie: Andrew Divers Contracts Ltd

I know it’s longer but sounds and looks better 🙄

cheers

Longer isn’t the word for it….. Anthony Divers Contracts Ltd

I’m going to let him read this tomorrow so he can see where i’m coming from

Cheers so far people 😎

I think ACDC would have something to say about that one Otto 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Here’s a way of making his name recede and his service stand out. Ignore the horrible fit text to paths and the gay color scheme.
This is an old idea but it might be a good option.

I like that idea Jill.

I would personally change the circle to a slightly diff shape, too much London Underground look about it otherwise.

Just my 2p’s worth.

Thats just what i was thinking – but then he is going underground! Now otto will do a Jam based logo

I like that one Jill, even the missing "R" doesn’t bother me… 😀

Hahaha
Time to call it a day I guess.
The biznames of the UK companies often confuse me.
Over here it would be "Dr. Landscape"
or "A-1 Landscaping" or the dreaded "Landscapes & More"
:lol1:

[Shane Drew]

hey Jill, seeing someone I regard as the consummate professional make a mistake like that makes me feel so much better 😉

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Shane, I make mistakes on a daily basis.
I usually just don’t post them on the world wide web!

me too, but I don’t worry about remembering them because my wife kindly does that for me 😳

I guess I am darn lucky I don’t have a wife then.
I suppose it would be handy for laundry and dishes.
