New Logo
by driveit Tue Mar 03, 2015 5:19 am
Been thinking of updating my logo for a long time. The top one if my original and the other two are the new ones, the bottom one is my preferred. Let me know what you think!

Keep the top one. You want people to remember the name not the design or detail of the car in the background. The bottom two are too busy and take away from your name.
Keep it simple. You might also want to decrease the font on the D & S bookend letters. It looks like it reads New Sight Esign.

I tend to share Hawk's opinion since you're appealing to a broad range of car/truck owners.

Good on you for asking. So many small business people take the logo they like and don't ever ask. It's a logo, just like any other tool. Pick the one that's best for the job. I'd say stick with the original, it's simple and elegant, it's not busy. I'd consider changing the web address capitals will make it easier to read, I've a number of times read it as news ight designs and had to re-read it.

I agree with Hawk & Dinomyte. Best to stay simple. While I like the detail in the bottom one, it takes away from the name & makes it seem like you're just targeting those vehicles. The top one ... is way more general.

Here are a few more ideas.
I took some of your advised to heart and made a few changes. I will be keeping the D and S larger as it was my attempt at making those letters seem like wheels on the cars outline. I thought it was clever, but some don't even pick up on it. Let me know your thoughts.

I like the first one. Definitely highlights the name and web site but still has a nice sporty car effect in the background.
The third is a little plain and the forth a bit better.
Love the whole concept of the design.

Cool ... of these, I like #3 the best ... still have the outline & retain the simple nature. That noted, however, the 1st is a bit more intriguing because the car outline is faded ... so that it isn't as prominent in the logo.

Ah, OK. In that case, I wonder if it would be a bit clearer for those that don't pick up on it if you'd move the "new sight" to above the "D" & "S". For instance, in the 3rd pic, place "new sight" where the door & rear opera windows would be....

3 looks simple understated and more like it's a design shop rather than a hot rod shop. Â Remember you want to attract folks that want a design done, not those that think you do just car designs.
Speaking of speed shops So-Cal Customs is a perfect example, their logo is simple elegant and sticks in your mind but doesn't scream car, not to mention you see other things and are reminded of it.

Had a new idea. Was thinking that it might be cool to have multiple variations of my logo to match each vehicle type. They would all have the same font type and same feel so it would be unmistakable for the same company or artist. Thoughts?

Consistency is KING !!! One logo, one design otherwise people get confused as to what you really are. At most one colour and one black & white (for things like faxes or rubber stamps)
Take a look at many of the big companies, Home Depot, IBM, Staples etc. . . They have the budget to have a different logo for each store but they want people to know it's one and the same each and every time.

Could not have said it better.
Here's a little story for you. My Wally s Upholstery logo was done in 1993. The first year I was doing in home service for the St Paul/ MPLS metro area. I put on almost 30K that first year. My brother took my car to a show way south of my home location. At the show I had my sign with logo for Wally's Upholstery. 3 guys came up and said I see those trucks allover the place they must be pretty big. My brother laughed and said its just my little brother and his one truck. So you see its all about Constancy and recognition.
Here is the logo that has not changed since 1993 to present.

Thank Wally !! Â I've got a similar story.
Red Box Computer Solutions was started in '05 by me on my own. Â One day i was in the local hospital which we'd provided LCD displays to. Â One of the big wigs in the department that was involved in the process of purchases, but not directly saw me with the logo on my golf shirt. Â Made a point of coming over, introducing himself and asking if we were international? Â I had to own up and tell him we were Canada wide, as I'd sold something to my brother-in-laws work in B.C.
Unchanged in 10 years.
Also just for the record we have a black and white logo fro faxes, but have a red and white logo as a rubber stamp, figured black was just wrong for a company called Red Box.
Hope this helps. Have you considered getting in touch with your local Small Business Centre? They would be a wealth of information, advice, probably even classes about marketing and so on. There may even be financial assistance that you might qualify for.
