Here's the new logo. We'd be interested to hear any comments before we commit to using it.

I like it alot. You kept it simple which always works better.

[VoodooChile]

Striking...maybe a few more flowers?

[Stonehenge]

Or a bigger single flower.

I am always a fan of clean, simple logos, because they tend to be easily remembered. This one fits that bill.

[HardDaysKnight]

You could put that same flower on top of the T.

We already know what you do. I don't think that it would necessarily be recognized as a landscape company to someone who is not already associating you with landscaping. You could be a landscape painter, a sculptor, sign company, a realtor, or maybe something else. If the name does not clearly say it, an icon can get that across. Not everyone wants to be so blatant, though. It will be read and read and read, and when someone looks up a landscape company, they will be familiar with you. That also works.

It does look nice and is easy to read.

I agree with agla it doesn't really describe what your service is but it is a nice design and i would add a flower to the s on the end that looks similar to the flower on the A and wrap it around downward to encompass the web adress. Now if you were a Landscape architecture design firm it would be perfect.

The font is great, the layout is sharp, the proportion are striking-all good. But the flower looks like a very common clip art. I'd draw up something unique, as anyone else could start using the same clip.

I am a firm believer of keeping names/logos short,sweet and to the point, especially when they bare on a vehicle. i often get behind these alarm compan ies for example, and on the back doors of the van is a grocery list of things they do, and right about the time I get to the phone number, the most important part, the light turns green and off that van goes, and I barely remember the name.

So, name, phone number, logo, and a tag line. That is all you ever need.

The name above does all that, except you left off the most imprtant part, the telephone number. In my opinion, the phone should be just smaller than the name lettering, and if you want to ad a web address, that should be even smaller than a phone number. The reason, people are alot more liely yo have a cell phone in the car that working on a lap top.

I appreciate all the thoughtful responses. As far as tag line and phone#, that info will be designed into any marketing pieces we do. We've decide we don't like the art and are meeting with a graphics designer tomorrow who may also help us with the web site and other stuff.

Be prepared for a lot of creative decisions ahead of you.
We are STILL in the website process but were lucky enough to have a valued client do our logo for nothing and it's quite
good. My very best to you and much success, Johnny

Hi. I'm a graphic designer, and I liked that logo. Only change I would have made would be to move the web address slightly right so that it lined up with the right edge of the top line. It was simple and effective, and translates well into many mediums. Your other marketing materials would support the logo, and vice-versa, ideally.

see this thread for a long boring post on identity branding and logo design:

Logo Advice

A good graphic designer should be bringing up some of these same points. Creating a logo is more than just putting some words together, there should be method to the madness.
