josh_cat_eyes Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 My girlfriends dad recently was approved a loan to start a bussiness call A+ Trailer Rentals, where he rents camper trailers during the summer. He asked my to make a logo for him and this is what I came up with. Any thoughts, C&C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 the plus doesn't come through. Try interrupting the descender on the "a" to make the plus more visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 the plus doesn't come through. Try interrupting the descender on the "a" to make the plus more visible.My thoughts exactly. You're right on track though, it doesn't need to be anything more complex than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordie_delini Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 yeah, that's much cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_cat_eyes Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I hope you don't mind, but here is my take on this.I like that. I will update my sometime soon. I'd ask if I could use it, but that would take away from me using C&C. Thanks a ton though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I hope you don't mind, but here is my take on this.Almost looks like a lower case 'r' instead of an 'A'.I got that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Does Art Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I hope you don't mind, but here is my take on this.Almost looks like a lower case 'r' instead of an 'A'.I got that too.Well it could work that way. It could stand for 'Rental' Hi, how are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsM29 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 The R was unintentional. Take it for what it is. Josh, feel free to use it if you'd like. It is your design, I just tweaked it based on the c&c given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_cat_eyes Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Any thoughts as to how I can get the trailer rentals in there anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_cat_eyes Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I did I quick update. Two different versions.Updated again: Finally figured out how to make it look good on a white background. Added the blue background too because I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'd make the top right corner of the A rounded, just like the top left, if you're intent on using the rounded style A. I have a hard time reading it as "A+" the way it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneRaizer Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Maybe it's just my eyes, but the top of the + looks like it's a little shorter than the bottom. If it is then I'd make all four points the same length and width. If not then I'll make an appointment to see my local eye doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 My only flaw is that nothing about the logo says "Camper Rental". While the A+ design is good as a standalone secondary, it may be nice to have a primary logo that incorporates the camper aspect into it. This may seem cheesy but could you incorporate the A+ to be part of a camper shape? Then have "A+ Camper Rentals" written on the body of the camper?I'll mock up what I mean quickly in Illustrator.

TurnTwo Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Something like this:I put in a lot of filler stuff. You'd have more time to toy with it and lay out everything exactly how you wanted to, but this roughly shows what I had in my mind.

josh_cat_eyes Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, I was intending on adding the camper part on afterwords. Someone mentioned that they thought it should be a rounded "A"Here is a little update on that regard:I like the idea of it being shaped like a camper, but its too busy that way. I want it to look like an identity, rather than a business card. I will mention that to him for business cards though. Oh, that slogan made me laugh, thats a neat idea.Another quick update with colors: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will mention that to him for business cards though. Oh, that slogan made me laugh, thats a neat idea.I agree with you. However, if a truck drove by with an "A+" on it, you'd have no idea what it was advertising. The A+ would be a solid standalone logo on other apparel (shirts, hats, letterhead, etc.) for the business, but when it comes to marketing it wouldn't suffice without an additional explanation.

I am not intending on leaving it like it is now, if thats that you are thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
