THEJTINS 29 Posted July 22, 2014 LIke the title says, I need a logo for my shop. I'm not a wiz graphic designer like most of you guys so I thought if someone was a little bored you may wanna whip something up. My buisness is Advanced Signs and Graphix. Just lookin for something that has an emphasis on the first letter of each word.. I'm thinkin like a crazy brush stroke or hand written design. Where the word. Advanced is over the top of the others and the word "and" is actually the "&" sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrznFire07 217 Posted July 22, 2014 just wondering here but it sounds like you have a pretty good idea what you're looking for already, why don't you give it a shot, get a rough sketch going and then post it and we can help you clean it up and/or critique it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted July 22, 2014 Advanced Signs & Graphics? If you can't come up with a logo on your own, how will you help your customers? They willl expect YOU to create their logos. Some will have an idea....some not a clue. Just my 2 cents.

THEJTINS 29 Posted July 22, 2014 Advanced Signs and Graphix I understand your point Sue. I'm just really indecisive on it. That or I have a case of logo block. I can see it in my head but when I try to put it to design I can't seem to duplicate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 22, 2014 Most times I can whip up something for a customer in no time but I spent several years changing and tweaking mine until I was happy with it. Gotta start somewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted July 22, 2014 I had an Idea told someone they came up with it and I changed it slightly and now I like it. Jay tweak it more naw just kidding buddaaaay lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 22, 2014 I had an Idea told someone they came up with it and I changed it slightly and now I like it. Jay tweak it more naw just kidding buddaaaay lol I chose to take the path less taken. When most graphics shops have fancy swooshes and doodads I chose a simple professional look but you know 1 day I'll end up tweaking it some more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted July 23, 2014 I adhere to the KISS philosophy some of the logos I have seen you have to study them to read them looks nice but sucks at getting the message out. I am no graphic designer and have paid for more then one logo design for customers when I could not come up with a design I liked I make my money off the signage and installs. I even farm out complex vectorizing to me it is cheaper to pay a few bucks then wasting time that I could make twice as much doing something I am more productive at. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
