Project Summary:
What text should be included in the main part of the logo?

E.Z. Landscaping

What type of product or service do you offer?

Lawn care/Landscaping

How long have you been in business?

Startup

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?

A clean cut professional "identifiable" logo

What are your long term goals?

To become one of the largest landscaping companies in the area


When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?

April 30 2011



Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience

Older, highend, and middle class citizens



Who would you like to add to your audience?

I am just looking to add more older, highend, and middle class citizens to my buiness list

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
What type of logo would you like?

A landscaping oriented logo, that would look good on a business card, postcard, or on the side of a truck

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)

The two colors I have in mind for lettering is either a brighter green, or a orange. Reason being is eventually (hopefully) the logo will be on the side of a black truck/trailer and I think a solid black looks good with orange and green

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?

This is one question I dont have an answer too, I was hoping to come up with something when we get some designs rooling!

Communication Strategy:
What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?

That were A. a landscaping and lawncare company, B. we are professional and "clean Cut" and C. that were dependable and reliable!


What is your tagline or slogan?

"We Make Landscaping E.Z. For You"

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?

That once again we are a clean cut, simple do what you ask company, who is dependable and reliable!

Where will your new logo be used?

The plan for right now is for business cards, tshirts, and hoodies. However within a year it will also be lettered on a side of a truck and (hopefully) a enclosed trailer!

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?

None of my competitors really use a logo! Imo there putting themselves at a disadvantage, a logo is usually one of the first things a potential customers sees. If a logo is truly a "memorable" one I believe people remember you!

List competitive URLs if possible

What sets you apart from your competitors?

That im a small, solo, reliable, hard working young man who will not fail. I feel that my determination sets me apart from my competitors. Also the fact that im solo "small" so there is an opurtunity for more one on one time with the customer! Once again im reliable also so that always helps!



Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:

Other than "We Make Landscaping E.Z. For You"

Reliable, hardworking, Driven!

Hey thanks for your design it looks great, however a few changes if I may? I like the font. A few issues I have is I can understand what the logo represents because I know what were shooting for! However I would like to see a logo that pertains more to landscaping (trees, or leaf ex. ) I am going to post a few logos i like after I write this post! Some other changes (this is my fault completly) is there any way we can change the colors to green and gold like a vegas gold? I thought I would like the orange but I have decided against it (once again my fault). Another thing I would like to see is the slogan "we make landscaping e.z. for you" In quotes. Also can we use a darker color green? Not so much a lime green!

Thanks

Zach

Here are some logos I like, maybe try to incorpiarate something along these lines in a darker green and a gold lettering! I like how on some of these the trees or leaves ex. are included in the lettering! I also like how "clean looking" they are I also like the gold in the leaf of the mr landscaping logo!

Looking good, I asked some other landscaping professionals what they thought and here are some more changes we came up with (not to be a pain in the *** :blush:) Is there any way we can make the tree more unique? Also can we make the Name E.Z. Landscaping bigger I think it needs to be more prominent! Witht that being said is there anyway to incorpirate the tree into the name E.Z. Landscaping? Last but not least can we get rid of the blades of grass? ( I like them but when I get vinyl lettering on my truck its gonna be a pain to do all that grass?

Thanks again

Zach!

I like this one the best so far! Is there any way you can make the L in landscaping a little more prominant with the tree? Also can we experiment a bit with making the i in landscaping a leaf or something similar?

Btw all other designers are welcome also!!!

Looks good however, can we change the font (not a fan of the font) make the slogan a little bigger and in quotes? Also if we could switch the color up to a "less blueish" green and more of a gold?

Thanks

Zach

Once again all designs are welcome!

One last request on this one, (looks amazing btw) Can we make the leaf over the i in landscaping appear to be "falling" like it came off the tree maybe put the leaf at a different angle? Once again looks great and thank you for your great work!

Version # 3A. with darker green and gold color combination.

That looks better however can you darken the gold a bit mroe (sorry to be a pain) or make it more of a flashy gold? Also can you incorporate something into the logos name some how?

Looks amazing! Exactly what I was looking for! The last change I want to make ( i know im a pain in the ***) is can we make the leaf above the i in landscaping appear more as if it was falling from the tree? This was my moms idea after this change I think we will be good to go! Which is good news becasue monday I meet with a guy to get tshirts made...
