Lol? I'm pretty sure it was included just to show how the logo would look on the van =/

This.

16 gets my vote out of the bunch.

"Currently specialising in collection of blood samples from Vets"

Can't quite remember how blood's transported, but does it mean the vans are slightly different from a general courier's van? That kind of speciality may be able to work itself into the logo, giving the image immediately that the company's different. I'm don't know how, but do feel something's been missed.

Oh yes, now you mention that - I think there's been a bit of a failure to capture the brief. I would in no way associate that with blood sample transport - I thought it was for a parcel company....

We currently specialise in that but want to broaden our horizons. Its a pretty small market. And want to head into other areas.

16 looks good online but won't transfer over to something like paper or even the side of a van.

It's a shame the 2 gets lost on 4 and 5, they would transfer well.

I'm liking 15 without the shadow but I'm not too sure on the 'couriers' bit, it's a bit plain. I like your flick on the G which expresses speed or something along those lines, could you possibly add something similar to the couriers word as well?

#16 or #2

This site looks pretty cool, so you just make a logo and if they like yours best they pay you for it?

I'm glad i asked now because I really like the Envelope. :confused:

I've had t-shirts embroidered before with some pretty intricate designs so the technology is there.

Any ideas guys fire away i can ask them to make adjustments or have a go yourselves.

I quite like #13 but it needs a bit of tidying up.

rojones · 25 Jun 2010 at 16:46

I like no.20 also.

POB · 25 Jun 2010 at 16:59

#2 is the best logo, things like #20 and #16 are not very usable on the longer term.

Stupid shadows etc have no place on a logo.

#13 is usable too.

Were still at the narrow down a concept stage. I can get the shadows etc taken out when i find a decent concept.

I cant see #2 on the side of my vans though.

If you know you have the technology to be able to transfer stuff like shadows then go ahead with it. I think it'll look great if it's done well. The problem is a lot of these companies just don't have decent enough printers for shadows and the likes.

Hope it helps. I always used to enjoy getting critiqued when I used to do this kind of stuff, it helps creativeness!

SiriusB · 25 Jun 2010 at 17:16

Why not?

It is clean and simple.

EDIT: #2 that is.

I agree about the shadows on the embroidery.

I think i may have misled with the title they are Logo's I'm having done for my company not my designs.

So critique away.

I need to nail a good Logo. that i can use on my van that will grab attention on the move and will be decent enough for t-shirts and letterheads etc.

Shadows and reflections are fine if you always back them on to white, or appropriate colours.

Its the purple background.

Although a square block with some writing in it worked for Orange.

Oh theres an update

mattyg · 25 Jun 2010 at 17:24

Ok so #16 is on the van I have asked him to try without the shadows.

Hiya folks.

I came across a thread about a logo and i thought i'd ask for some pointers

I'm currently having a logo designed by the folks on a logo/competition site.

What do you guys think so far.

Cheers
Matt
