Logo Design Brief

Client
United States
What We Do
Tub and tile refinishing.

We resurface bathtubs, showers, tile, countertops, sinks, and vanities. It makes them look like new, while saving ~75% versus the cost of replacement.

We have a few different buyer types.

1. Homeowners who have an old tub that they want to look nicer - for themselves.
2. Property owners/managers that want an inexpensive way to make their bathrooms look nicer to entice renters and/or fetch a higher rental price.
3. Homeowners who are about to sell their home and want to make their bathroom look presentable inexpensively
4. The Realtors that are working with #3
5. Hotel, motels, apartments, nursing homes - anyone with tub and tile that might need to be resurfaced
Industry
Home & Garden
Color Preferences
Red white and blue, like the American flag.

But the blue should be a deeper navy blue, and the red should be kind of a deeper red too.

My site is still under construction, but you can see the basic color scheme on the homepage here:

https://www.unitedrefinishing.com/

(You are allowed to change it a bit, you don't have to follow those exact hex codes or anything)

And that "U" logo was just something I copied off the internet to put there temporarily.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
Yes, the name "United Refinishing" is going to use American flag colors and symbolism.

But I don't want hillbilly redneck American stuff - like eagles, guns, beer, and mullets. I'm looking for a style more like the logos of USA soccer or United Airlines or the NFL.

Modern, simple, sharp vector art.

The only symbols I would accept in the design are

1. A star or stars
2. The red/white stripes

I don't want any symbols that reflect the kind of job I do or tools I use. I don't want a bathtub symbol, because we refinish more than just bathtubs. I don't want a paint spray gun symbol, because we don't always use a spray gun.

I'm mostly just looking for a wordmark, or perhaps something in kind of a patch/shield format.

Probably in landscape proportion, so it would look and fit good in a website header, on a hat, or embroidered on the left chest of a polo shirt.

I just wanted to mention one thing about fonts.

You'll notice I'm using a fat, sans-serif font on UnitedRefinishing.com. (Poppins)

It seems most likely that we'll stick with something kinda fat and sans-serif...

But I am not completely against serif fonts. If your creative juices are flowing, and you are imagining a serif font in your head, go for it!

If you can still make a serif font look modern, that could be cool. In fact, I think a serif font adds a touch of class and gravitas.

Modern and sharp is what's most important to me. With that being said, you may experiment with font choices.

Holy cow everybody.

These are awesome! I was not expecting all this within a couple hours. I like so many of them.

I'll start ranking them tomorrow.

A quick piece of advice for future designs to save you time.

You really don't need to try to force a "UR" symbol in there.

So far I don't really like any of them with a UR.

You are welcome to add a shield or a star or a flag or some other graphical element outside of the words, but don't shove a UR in there. It's just not working. Thanks!
