Logo for Diesel MechanicLogo Design Contest

Hi there,

I like the effects for the main badge element.

Could you please try the perforated metal effect in background a bit bigger, so as you can actually see what it is more easily. I just think the dots are a bit small at the moment on #6 and #5.

Secondly, any cance you could try a version where the name text is included wih the badging more. I don't like the way it is sitting loose on the side (#6) and under (see #5).

Thanks
James

Right on, I will make those changes for you.

C. J.

See #11 with the requested updates!

Hi CJ,

I like #11, however please remove the outer shadow effect.
Logo must work as a badge on motor vehicle, and outer shadow effect is too difficult.

Thanks
James

PS: Any chance you could also try a version with all letters in the Orange, including the large 'VDR' letters ??
Maybe also try an ellipse shape instead of a rectangle as well.
Thx

#19: this is one without the shadow. I have also darkened the interior texture just a bit so as to give more contrast to the lettering. I am currently working on the other revisions you requested. Thank you for the positive feedback.

Hi Jose,

Your logos look fantastic.

I still think the name text is too small beneath the 'VDR', and as such I'd like to see it larger.
I have mocked up what I'm thinking in Photoshop, using a screengrab. This change relates to #19.

Thanks

I will work on these changes. Thank you!

Here is the change you requested: #60

#60 - Thank you.

Hi There,

Is it possible to change #21from a circle to a hexagonal bolt head shape.

We are just looking for a stronger link to our industry than simply a badge. A bolt hints at this link.

I have sourced a couple of Bolt references for you:

PLease only carry out this change if it is quick and simple. A basic shape will be good enough to start with. No need to spend heaps of time making look perfect. Leave that till after we approve concept first.

Thanks
James

Hi There,

I have mocked up something pretty rough to show my last comment.
Please see: http://i41.tinypic.com/et5pbb.png

Only do if easy and will not take too much of your time.

Thanks
James

Here's one I did before I saw your mockup.#61 More to come!

RE: #61.
Hey, great work. Thanks.
No need to do any more variations. let me discuss that one with my business partner first.
please just show on white background as well.
Thanks
james

#62 in! Bedtime for this American. Have a great rest of your Saturday.

#62 is very nice.
Thank you very much.

Please give me 24 hours to review with business partner and then we will get back to you with comments (if any). Thanks again.

Cheers
James

One more concept for you to mull today. #63

#63 - Thank you !
Cheers Mate

New inspiration for you: #66.

#66 - Thakk you.
Cheers
James

#70, more orange.

Hello Joseph,

Sorry, but I don't like #70. The orange is too small and will not appear very well when logo is reduced in size.

Thanks
James

Could you please remove the orange letters from #22.
And then upload again.

Thanks
James

#108, here you go!

Thanks for updating spelling.
Sorry, but one more thing I just noticed....
* Please add the 's' to the word repair in #108.

Possibly run as 2 lines if text is getting too small.

Thanks
James

#111 for you!

#112 on two lines.

Hi There,

Is there any chance you could show us #112 without the small text in the badge at all.
Just completely delete it all together.

Just have the VDR centred nicely on the badge and that is it.
Nice and clean and simple !

Thanks
James

#116 and #117. Simplicity!

#117 - Its a 'beautiful thing " !!

Cheers
James :)

Thanks, mate! I look forward to your decision.

Please let me know if you need additional revisions!

Hi, any updates needed?

Sorry for the delay.
We have had many opinions to deal with !!!
At this stage we are just getting a small change done to #32.

Thanks
James

Thanks for the update! So, am I still in the running??

Yeh yours still in the running.
But unfortunately, my business partners likes #32 !!.
I prefer yours.
We hope to have a decision shortly.

Cheers
James

I noticed that the guy who designed #32 hasn't logged in about six days. If you choose his and he doesn't respond, I will be around!

I also thought you were more of a fan of my #117 than #62. I know it has a stronger link to your industry because of the hexagonal shape, but I also think there are plenty of logos (Ford, Apple, HP, Freightliner) that visually have nothing to do with their industry, yet are powerful brands. Just my two cents as a designer.
