A couple more versions

Here are two more versions. Let me know what you think.

One More

Here is another one from a different designer. The text would be a little different but what do you think of the design? I love having all of these designers competing for my business. It is only going to cost $55 for the completed product in whatever formats I need!

Thanks,

Call the business your last name ... then a short line of what that name does. Joe's Landscaping is still a good name as is Ace Plumbing & Heating ... a good name for a landscape company is House Beautiful ... then it's about them and not you. They ((care more about themselves)) then they do about your name.

Just my thoughts,

Phil

Coming down to the wire

Phil, thanks for all of your feedback. I will definitely be reserving a web address for the business and it will probably be something similar to the second one you mentioned above. You are right about the name.

I just really like what I have come up with and it has gotten a positive response from those I have put it in front of (not just friends and family).

I am torn between the last two designs as far as the colors go. I think it will probably come down to one of them or a slight variation on one of them.

Thanks,

Kevin

I think the large grey mountains look too cartoonish. I think the best one is the set you posted on 07/02/02 at 5:15.

The ones with the green 'swish'.

Well, I hate the green 'swish' thing. BUT, I do like the middle one in that set without the 'swish'.

That looks professional, very nice, easy on the eyes as well. I would possibly look for a better outline of a mountain. But hands down, that's the best yet.

All the other ones (in my opinion) look kind of cheesy. Also, they have the font outlined. That will not look good when it is in black and white.......which it will eventually after copying. Also, it makes it harder to reproduce with vinyl. Much harder.

First about the name. I like the A name for things like the phone book. I think you will get more calls while not being cheap like "A-1 Landscaping." But Salt Lake is a big market. I don't know how people OUTSIDE the Alta View area will feel about calling you. All I'm saying is don't limit yourself. Personally I chose a picture forming name.

About the logos. I chose a mountain oriented name and logo myself. Out of the logos so far I like two of the newer ones with the red. I suggest keeping the font and shape of the top one, but with the red border and white lettering of the second one. Maybe a simpler sunburst - lines up from the mountains completing a pyramidal shape. My mountains are green and white, but you can go with grey for printing cards to keep the cost down. But on letterhead and signs, I use green mountains - I print my own letterhead. If you use the logo with the green swirl, you might try using the mountain as your A for Alta - a green mountain with snow at the top will look like an A - maybe worth a try!
Good luck!

& red sunburst. I'm sorry I jumled the order of the 3 red lettered logos - combine the first and second. I called the second one the first and vice versa.

I was thinking the exact same thing Erich was. Go for the second one without the swoosh. This logo will be easier to duplicate and looks a lot more professional. The second logo will save you money in the long run just like Erich said with vinyl and printing costs. Simple is better when you are dealing with logos. Too much detail will screw up duplication. Just my 2 cents.
