Audience Profile:
Please describe your existing audience

Existing audience does not exist.

Who would you like to add to your audience?

My target audience is a 25 - 60 year old, male, who owns a lawn care or landscape company. My customers are typically in a hurry, as they tend to be poor planners, thus they buy parts after their equipment has broken.

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

Clean and concise.

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

A color palette using greens and soft yellows make sense for the industry.

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

I need my business to feel like it is larger than it actually is.

What is your tagline or slogan?

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

We are trusthworthy, easy to use, and will provide you with parts quickly.

Where will your new logo be used?

All over the e-commerce site.

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



List competitive URLs if possible

https://www.johndeerelandscapes.com/ - I really love this logo, this achieves what I am looking for.

www.stens.com (http://www.stens.com) - Too many colors and too busy

www.j-thomas.com (http://www.j-thomas.com) - very uninspiring

www.partstree.com (http://www.partstree.com) - the pun is corny.

What sets you apart from your competitors?

Prompt Order Fulfillment - ship over 80% of orders within one business day
Accurate Order Fulfillment - individually package, barcode and double scan every part

We are fast, easy, and accurate.

Hi Glyphica,

It almost looks too similar to the John Deere Logo. It sort of as a "cold" feel to it. I think I'd go for a differnt font on the wording, and a different logo than the square one above.

Lutfi and Djaka,

Thank you for your submissions.

A flurry is of activity is nice to see. Lutfi, I think your #4 design is closest to what I had in mind. I also like that I can use the logo with the "R" as a stand alone and not use the "Rapid Mower Parts" title when I don't need to.

I'm trying to think of something I would change about it, I can't pin one down. I like the use of colors and the clarity of the logo.

I will keep the competition open until the end of business day central standard time.
