derschwigg Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hey gang!A buddy of mine is starting a small business, and tapped me to do a logo for him.Which of these do you like best? My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 For pure design, 2. I'd add some color like grey/silver/white in there, but yeah, two. Maybe make the spade shovel a rake?Three is okay but his hand/arm is freaking me out. One is simple and effective and would probably look best on a van or truck.

OliverP Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Third logo is a good idea, but as CS85 said the arm is freaky and there is too much going on.Second one is awesome, I like its contemporary design (always been a fan) kinda retro, minimalistic but very cool.First one is simple, really professional and its easily recognizable. If I know anything about design its that simple usually works out great.Can't wait too see what you end up picking! Dribbble Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I really love the 1st as a standard wordmark. You could use the 3rd as well, just fix the hand. My suggestion is for the hand to give a thumbs up and have him wink. Sure its cheesy and has been done numorous times but its for a reason right? I really like what you have done though, your business already looks very professional! Good work.

rynoz10 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Really love #2. Would love to see a color version, but the fact that it works so well B&W already puts it at the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think the little notch on the spade shovel in the second one needs to be turned around. I think that would better represent the shaft coming into the bottom part of the shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 The client actually opted to go with the third one, as is! My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The client actually opted to go with the third one, as is!Fair enough, but for your next project I'd work on your arms/hands so they are not random round nubs. Not to insult your work, which appears very good, but just saying. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

OMMF Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I loved #3 but, as others mentioned, the hand is an issue. When it comes to a lawn care business (or any company that deals with spinning blades) having someone with no fingers in the logo doesn't project professionalism. Just me, though.

derschwigg Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I could've done a better hand, I simply saw it as a stylistic choice to keep it more round/nubby. I totally see where you're coming from, though.Number one, the bottom green (grass); cool. But how about the top becomes blue and they're icicles. I had that thought too! I made it to see how it looks, it looks pretty great because if you don't see it as ice, you see it as sky instead My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 These are all good logos for a business. First off, #1 is great for a word mark. Like GoNordiques said, I would suggest the upper part of the W being ice blue. I like #2 for being simple but color is needed in it. As for #3, I like the whole layout and the direction you went with it, even with the nubbly hand Great work overall!
