Could you guys give me some feedback on my logo/fonts/proportions.



I like the font on the second one the best but I would be interested in other opinions. I think a solid font could look better but I haven't found one I like yet. My basic idea was to make a versitile logo that wasn't too serious. I like the simplicity because it makes it cheaper to reproduce. I would like to hear some suggestions though.



This is for a Semester long Venture Summary in an Entreprenuership class but I am seriously considering using this idea as a real business.



This forum has been an invaluable resource for this project and for myself as a detailing enthusiast. Thanks guys.

:thx
 
(Being brutally honest) if that was the logo for a detailing company I wouldn't be calling it. The idea is great with the white glove and all, as it's something that people can easily relate to, it's easy to remember and more importantly it's something that will remind them of your company when they see something similar elsewhere. But, the "white glove" icon is something that's related to cleanliness, elegance, wealth, etc. because when we think of or see a "white glove" most of us imagine a snobby butler dressed in an expensive suit. Now with the fonts you've used you're basically distorting that image because it now looks as if you're attempting to mock what the average person perceives as cleanliness. If you're going to use the white glove, I'd suggest keeping with the theme and use a more elegant looking font. You can also get away with using a more masculine looking font for example Bernard MT Condensed if you don't want the company to be seen as one of those "I must need a load of cash to call them, huh?" companies. Again, the idea is great but the fonts you've used make it look like a joke.

I agree with apollo... First thing I thought of when I saw the logo was Michael Jackson and I would never let Michael Jackson touch my car.

I would.... then cherish it for a while.....then sell it on ebay









I like the middle one better. The font matches the mickey mouse / goofy looking theme
 
The middle one looks the best.





It would be even better if it looked like the Shocker! :LOLOL
 
As a logo designer myself, I wouldn't choose any of these as final logo...

But of all these, the second has best layout in the black rectangle, however the "hollow" font in the second sample is not a very good idea, because when logo is small, it can be hard to read, so I would stick to 3rd font, or some other solid font.
 
Ask yourself this. When looking at any of them what tells any potential customers what it is you do? If you say it's the lettering then what's the point of the glove? The glove can not convey a detailing business without the wording. I honestly thought of hamburger helper when I saw it. Maybe a white glove swiping over the hood of a car All outlines of course. Just a suggestion but to me that logo dosen't make a lot of sense. And I would keep looking for a font. None of those look very professional to me. I could be off base. But since you asked for thoughts those are mine.

LMFAO lol. Ditto.



But yeah, I agree with the rest. I do some work for a printing company and that logo isn't exactly something I'd want to go slapping on a business card. I think its best when company's come up with their own logo even if its just a play on the letters in the name, something simple, clean and memorable.
 
I'd have a hand in a white glove turned so the palm of the glove is facing up and a brite and shiny car in the palm as if were caring holding it. Similar to how a butler would carry a tray.
 
Thanks for all the replies guys. I appreciate the criticism, its just what I was wanting. I definately won't end up using these exact logos if i decide to open up my business. I am not going to throw this concept out completely yet, but I will definately come up with some new themes to explore.



The comment about the font needing to be solid was a good point and I had already thought about finding a better solid font for just that reason. Thanks for your advice, it is nice to have someone with your set of skills on this forum.



I will update this post when I come up with some more ideas. Thanks again for your honesty guys. :xyxthumbs

Cheers buddy :). Another thing I forgot to mention is that when you're making a logo, you also have to take into consideration what it's going to look like on things like a business cars, shirts, vinyls, etc. I'd try to stay away from the black background if I were you as it may give a bit of a negative feel to the logo as a whole. Instead, I'd put the glove into a black oval or a circle and leave the background white. Just my thoughts!
 
Maybe an outline up a MF cloth around the hand would help.



What is this "shocker" you talk about, please explain. Just kidding.

No they don't all have to be white and yes, yours is nice :). The reason I try to keep all the ones I make white is because when they're black like yours, you have to print out a "picture" rather than a system font. Therefore it's usually more expensive because then you have to switch to a higher grade, gloss paper and I don't know what they charge in the US, but they also charge you for more ink usage here because the entire card has to be filled in with black. Also, I haven't seen of the "picture" type business cards yet that look as good on paper as they do digitally. In short, it saves a lot of hassle :).

Now that's a good idea! You oughta start your own business...
 
No way, it's the Hamburger Helper guy! It's a little too in your face and looks more like Mickey Mouse or a traffic cop.



You can search an image from a company that sells them. The world is your oyster here. Stock photography, footage, rights: Corbis Search the word "Butler."



I did a two second Google image search and came up with more appropriate themes utilizing a white glove. I found them from other peoples' websites. These seem to be a better theme to explore. You can customize them to fit your detailing business.
