Logo for Diesel MechanicLogo Design Contest

Hi there,
We like the stainless steel rendering that you have used in #54.

Would it be possible to change your shape from circle to Hexagonal, which is more representative of a bolt head, as commonly used in the automotive industry.

Retain the 'Valinoti's Diesel Repairs' text in a circular shape, but just change the overal shape to be hexagonal.

Please retain the stainless steel reflective finish, which we love, and also retain the little base shadow effect, as it is a nice touch as well.

Thanks

Also, You may change the font used for the 'VDR' as it is too similar to what 'cjosephgray' has used for #62.

i dont want any designers to think anyone is copying anyone else.
As such please select an alternative font for the VDR.

Thanks
James

Hi james

Thx for the feedbacks, FYI the font i can still keep this one or i can also change it if you want it to be another kind, i used this one because i thought u like it. But i want to know if you asked Cjosephgray to use hexagonal? or he came first with this concept? This is important.

Best Regards

Hi Rud,
I asked him to try his circular logo in a Hexagonal shape, as in a bolt head shape.
It was my idea and I thought his circular logo could be easily adapted to a hex shape.
After asking him, I looked over all logos again and saw that you had also submitted a round shaped logo.

It's at that point I posted the message above and also sent you the same links I had sent him.
I did not copy the same message to each other, just provided the same references. (In fact I sent him 5 or 6 other references as well)

I apologize if I have done something wrong. It is not my intention to copy each others work. I just thought both your logos had merit and could be easily changed to bolt / Hex head shapes. Please accept my apology if I have done the wrong thing.

Please advise if it is possible.

Thanks
James

Hiii James
its now clear it was your idea you asked him to do Hex shape with his circular entry, so now i know i can work also with the hexagonal without any logo case :)
Ill submit my entries in an hour.

Best Regards

Rud

Thanks mate.
#64 - I love it.
Cheers
James

Hi Rub,

I like #69, but would like to see it without the black piece.
in an effort to simplify it even more and just have the stainless steel finish across the entire bolt head.
With the 'VDR' etched out of the Stainless steel like the other text.

I have attempted to mock up what i mean..
Please see:

So it looks like a brand of bolt in a way.

Only mockup if it is not too much trouble.
I will discuss all options with my business partner after the weekend.

Thanks
James

I really like you mock up :) ok ill upload in less 1hour.

Cheers
