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!!.
This for me as well
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!!5th row, in the middle. Top row look familiar?
Same here - 5th row, far right
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?!?!
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 hues from the central logo on line 5 as my palette as it just lends itself to a more corporate arena I feel.1st column - I prefer it without the borders.
Multi-colour more eye-catching, but shades of same colour looks slicker, especially the blue, but there's a risk such a conservative choice makes you look like an accountant/lawyer/surveyor etc.
As an accountant, I'd go with row 5
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 currently trying my four favourites at business card size to see what works best at that size as that will be a major determining factor for me.
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.
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.
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.Single colour costs less for printing
I like the ones with the thin border, think the separation works well
No not a designer, just a consumer. I care about the car I'm buying not the brand of whom is selling me the vehicle be it new and the group behind the franchise or be it secondhand. It wouldn't influence my decision one iota compared to the product and the individual selling the product. It honestly don't matter, personally I don't like any of them, looks more accountancy than vehicles, but hey if you have the product that I am interested in and you treat me like a King then why not.
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.
Fair enough, unless the printers is good and notifies you of that and will adjust the colour slightly...
