Color Preferences

Red is considered our company color. Our hard hats, service vans, etc. are all red. We typically use black and white as complimentary colors. So it is important that this logo or a version of this logo would look good on red.

Our Ideas and Additional Information:

http://mca-omaha.org/index.php?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=2&sobi2Id=22&Itemid=35

Our logo is an R and M in vertical orientation. It is actually supposed to be 30 / 60 / 90 triangles like engineers used to use to design back in the pencil and paper days.

We would like to see Ray Martin Company and Mechanical Contractor with the Letterform Mark. However, we want to use the Letterform Mark by itself and have people know exactly who it is.

1, 2, & 3 are defintely evolution as opposed to revolution, and I like that. I just don't know that it is a "current" interpretation of the evolution.of our logo. It still looks like it was designed in the 80's perhaps. The "Ray Martin Company" font is too simple as well. The fonts used in the DM Power Construction contest are professional looking.

Sorry I keep submitting and removing entries. The color red is compressed horribly by this site and I was just trying to get around that limitation. Apparently I can't show what my design will look like on a red background.

Example #9: I wanted to show everyone our old logo so they could get a feel for it. But I would like to look at both horizontal and vertical orientations. I would also like to shy away from geometric lettering like we have today. Like example #9, you have to look too hard to see that it is an R and an M.

The letters in the lettermark have to legible at first sight. That is what is attractive about #23, #27 and #44. I would also like everyone to look at the font used in the following contest as it looks very professional. A lot of the fonts being used are way to big and bulky if that makes any sense.

I think we are leaning more towards having the lettermark on the left with Ray Martin Company and Mechanical Contractors to the right of the lettermark. "Of Omaha" is purely optional from a logo perspective as it is there for legal reasons only.

Out of curiosity, what would your lettermark look like horizontal? Intriguing...
