Says it all really, lovely shot and razor sharp. I'd be tempted to add some more vignetting around the edges myself to add some isolation.

Thank you all for your opinions, advice and tips as it is much appreciated.

Ok, I hear what you are saying and having bought from many traders myself I concur that it's about the product and the seller more than anything else.

Thanks for that and indeed it would make printing costs cheaper. I do like the border myself but want to try a few gradients and maybe even a reflection or metallic edge before making a final decision.

Ok, point taken and I agree branding a low end product can be tricky, that said im not so sure low end clientele take much notice of branding and to be fair other than a few big boys I find branding across the motor trade quite dull.

Ok thanks, I assume you are a designer then?. That being the case how would you approach a brand using 3 letters against a dark background please?. If you are not design orientated but it's just personal opinion then I'd still like to hear what you would like to see please. Fully agree that a...

I don't honestly think it matters what you are selling and at what price point, it costs nothing to be professional and take pride in the look and feel of your promotional material to my mind. I've been a pro photographer for 26 years so getting things like this right matter to me a great deal...

Is there?, is that because of market research and statistics showing it's power and presence in business or is it that someone chose it because they liked it?. I have no aversion to blue at all but would prefer to keep that colour pallete for my other, more corporate business I think. I'm...

Many thanks and I agree that shades of the same colour look slicker. Interesting that as an accountant you chose blue as I have already decided that it looks too corporate for a small motor trader, however I also have to build a website for my H&S Consultancy firm and will be using the blue...

And that is a very good point BUT i just can't help thinking of "KFC" when I see my initials against a red background!!. Also there are so many motor traders out there using red and I wanted to get away from that, however it may be that red is so common for good reason too?!?!

Thanks for al the replies so far guys. I've asked a number of work colleagues too and opinions are so divided that no real winner is emerging.. I'm more confused than ever now!!

Yeah the designer knows I'm a BMW man so did these first thinking I'd jump at the first thing he did I reckon!!

I forgot to say, I'm happy with the design as it was my concept and it's not a massive deal but as a photographer you do tend to nit pick over these things and the view of Joe Public last night surprised me somewhat so I am now confused!!

Could you guys kindly give me your opinion on your preferred logo from the attached please?. I thought I had made a decision but canvassed random people in 2 pubs last night and 80% chose the same logo which had not even been on my radar up until then!!. Many thanks in advance

Yeah that would be nice wouldn't it, wish I knew too mate!!
