Here is my logo for your consideration: #5. I wanted it to be a strong emblem type design, so that it will look good across your client's entire brand (thinking about stamping things, like #6, or for use on shirts, vehicles, signage, etc.) It's clean and simple, but strong and eye-catching. I think the Bulldog fan in him will like it.
Let me know what you think. I will be happy to provide revisions as requested. Thanks.
SInce you are in the US you will get this. #7 reminds me of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. LOL. On an angle like #6 will sometimes eat up valuable space need for lead generation websites where as much info as possible needs to be above the fold. Going to keep #5 and #8 for now. Try emphasizing GEORGIA DRIVING together and then ACADEMY. TOo many of these that just have GEORGIA feel like it's emphasizing the state more than GEORGIA DRIVING. Make sense?
I see where you are going with #76. Visually #77 looks better but it's a shame to loose the possiblity of the "A" being the front of the truck. Maybe it doesn't have to exactly look like the front of the cab. Try playing with a capital "A" a little more, loose the cross bar and just do ^....only way I could try to demonstrate that is use this symbol. Back in a couple hours.
