New web logo....your thoughts?

[Anthony O.]

Well we have had several days of rain here, cept for this weekend which was great BUT my father got sick so still no work , but I did have time to work on several new logos for my website and this is one of them so please let me know what ya`ll think of it.



I am also re-doing my pages with more color and I`ll ask for your opinions of that perhaps later in the week.



Here it is, comments and/or suggestions welcome.



Thank You,

Anthony

I like it although the reflection has an orange peel look to it. :up

[Anthony O.]

Thanks for the reply ronvon, the orange peel is actually a ripple, as in being reflected into water.



I may slice some water into the logo if I can find a picture with an appropiate scene.

My bad. Since I`ve become aware of orange peel I can see it where it doesn`t exist.........just another side effect of Autopia-ism.

[Anthony O.]

Well I did some searching and found a water picture and real quickly put this together.



What do you all think?

I like them both! Second one is really Reminds me of summer....which is 5 months away

[Spilchy]

I like the second one. Cool concept, but maybe a little too much blue?



Keep the blue water effect and blue reflection color, but make your company name stand out a little more. You know what I mean? Find a darker color that works well with the blue and go with that.



I did a brief search for an online color wheel. Give it a whirl (no pun intended!). Check it out! http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/style/color/wheel.html

Just a thought.

Anthony the first one is much crisper. Like a flawless shine. The second one to much for the eyes.

Thanks again for all the input guys, greatly appreciated



The design below originally had a car sitting on top of my biz name but I couldn`t get it to look right. I think it`s because the angle of the car was just all wrong so I am going to take more pictures of the yellow Porsche next week and try again.



What I did do is replace the car with some flare lighting an dkinda liked the results. What`s your opinions?



Thanks,

Anthony

What kind of program are you using?? I was thinking of just hiring a pro logo maker to make me one. I saw some places that make a pretty decent one for around $40. But I`d rather make it myself if I can get the program for cheap, and if there are some nice free tutorials out there.

I think it looks too easy. You should let a professional do it and have something unique. Look at, www.michigancivics.com and www.danase.com We paid under $40 to have those made and the place changed the design unlimited amount of times until you are 100% satisfied.

I`d try something that reflects your company image and theme. That medical "Dr. Shine" one was a good idea. What do you do that`s different from everyone else? Is it where you detail? What you wear? With a good central theme, you could spread the logo past your website.

2001civicex- Where did you go to get those done?? I like the style of those. I especially liked the danase.com one. That is the kind of style that I want for my logo.



Some of the places that offer designs of that price, have decent styles. But some also look cheap/handdrawn. They look too cartoonish. And also only offer a couple of revisions. Please let me know where you got those done. Thanks.
