Mrs. Doyle: Oh, Pat was wondering if he could put his massive tool in my box.

Father Ted: What! How dare you!

Pat (raising an enormous adjustable spanner): Yes, too big for the milk float.

TBH, if it isn't live yet, and you aren't far into other things, I'd rethink the name. The name makes the first impression, and WatchRepairUK sounds like a cheap service that could be gone next week.

You're totally right.

lol ^

I *was* going to ask something similar of the fine OcUK'ers (logo design), but I'll sit it out for a while and see where this goes!

Haha, I like it. with regards to the name, I can always change it I thought watchrepairuk sounded professional and would do my google ranking good.

NP.

I have a few more quick ideas sketched down but always hesitant to spend the time creating them for things like this.

I don't wear a watch.

Here's some of the sketches. They're just basic ideas that might help. Nothing great.

And excuse the blurriness. Camera phone and my shaky hands.

Obviously, some aren't finished, just trying an idea.

Bottom right is good, you could even have an animated one on the website that tells the actual time.

While I do love that logo, we don't use screwdrivers like that and we certainly do not use spanners !!

My thoughts.

Why I haven't mocked it up yet. Unfortunately, watch tools aren't often very recognisable.

Love the staggered watchrepairuk with the watch face over repair. Would there be anyway to animate that to tell the correct time more than twice a day?
