new logo - what people think?

unwashed potato! · 22 Oct 2010 at 11:26

what do people think? i really like it but would like others thought on it before i start using it on leaflets etc.

Reminds me of Parcel Force... same colours and similar name.

Looks quite utilitarian and authoritative... what's your target market?

commerical cleaning and deep cleaning. wanted something strong to compliment our "weak" green cleaning

BNP cleaning company?

that is a concern which is why it's very minimal with the flag at the bottom, as well the colours are a bit darker/stronger then the flags colours.

Not massively keen to be honest mate. Looks a little like someone knocked it up in publisher. Hard to judge a logo on its own without a website around it or in a leaflet but im not a fan.

fair enough fez. it was something i made quickly to fill the space but it grew on me and now i really like it. search for the name and surrey and you'll find the site, unfinished btw but will hopefully be updating with complete version this weekend

Im liking the website design, nice and clean and professional looking which is great. The logo feels like it nearly fits in with it all. Im not a designer by trade so dont have much constructive to say to direct you but it does look better in situ.

I think if you get a designer to give you a few pointers it will end up as a really nice logo. Its amazing how little changes to a design can really make it pop. Good luck matey

For some reason it reminds me of the Tesco logo. The colours don't go well for me to be honest.

Make the 'Clean' like a recycled green.

was my inspiration. i like their "basic" look logo and from research red/blue/white are very effective colours in grabbing attention. it's simple and works well with the message which is similar to what i wanted.

Nah, I gotta say, I definitely don't like the colours. It screams National Express or American Airlines. I would stick with one colour and a lesser complimentary colour.

any suggestions? it'll take something really decent to change my mind on the colours as i think they currently go really well with the whole idea of CleanForce.

you've listed big huge companies that have chosen a colour scheme that works well :confused:

if anything as this colour scheme is used by big companies then we may been seen as a bigger, established company. it's distinct enough to not be confused with any of the others that i have seen that use red white and blue.

i'm not stuck with these colours, just will only consider something else if there is a reason i feel is good enough.

Reminds me of the BNP for some reason.

Nash · 22 Oct 2010 at 20:46

Reminds me of Tesco.

I don't recognise it as an existing logo (obviously as you've just recently created it and I don't know your company) so I don't know whether I like it or not. Have you got any mockups of it on a van or billboard etc?

No offence but you are not a designer. Just fork out the $300 for a competition at 99designs if you are serious about the business.
