mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted September 3, 2014 I have done some for coal mining/miners and used a pick and shovel crossed. I dont get the guns cor mining i suppose the western theme but the bulls head conveys that pretty well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted September 3, 2014 Too busy....too much going on for no good reason. Simplicity with good design is usually best. Centering is off. Visit Brands of the World and look through the logos of major companies to see what I mean. Or check our the logo design sites. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coaster36 327 Posted September 3, 2014 Its not for a rock band? I thought that was the only use for that font. Loose the guns. Find a new font and use your alignment tools. Make 4 or 5 for practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RickS 39 Posted September 3, 2014 Skarekrow nails it again, those are two very good examples. clean, un-cluttered and easily readable from a distance, as most signs are not laying on your desk, they are on buildings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
