BusCard & Letterhead for Auto Repair Shop *Project Over*

[slh]

(Admin code added by Palmer - 85330512)

I have used this site for several clients and have been thrilled with the results. I was so thrilled that I am turning my parent's project over to you!!!

I am needing a new design for business cards and letterhead for their automotive repair business.

Business card (front and back)
(Full color --- or 2 color if the design is right)
Front Side:
Company Logo
"Serving Kansas City for 26 years"
Address
Phone Number
www.arkautomotive.com
Hours: Monday-Friday 7:30am-5:30pm
Name
Name's Title
Name's Certifications
Logos: ASA, NAPA Autocare Center, ASE and AAA Approved Auto Repair
"We specialize in your whole car" . . . I don't know if this will fit anywhere.

Back Side:
Graphic of Jesus
"If we meet and you forget me, you have lost nothing; but if you meet Christ and forget HIM, you have lost everything."



Letterhead:
2 color (blue and yellow)
Company Logo
Address
Phone Number
website
Logos: ASA, NAPA Autocare Center, ASE and AAA Approved Auto Repair (all in blue)


Winner will need to provide the files with the actual address, phone, etc. Files need to be provided in Adobe Illustrator or EPS so that they can be edited with the additional employee names at a later date.

DEADLINE: Sunday, January 18th!!!!!

Logo files have been emailed to Palmer for him to upload.

here is my submission… :D

Doug-

Thanks for your submission. Here are a few quick comments.

* The logos need to be smaller. They detract from the company's own logo. They should be smaller and merely to add to the credibility of the business.

* Can you try a different background color? I don't know if it is the two shades of gray, along with the logos and yellow stripes - but it appears very busy.

* Jesus graphic on the back is too contemporary. Please redo the wording. Everytime on this website I type in the name J-E-S-U-S C-H-R-I-S-T it turns it into "holy hannah". Can anyone figure this one out? It should be "JC" typed out normally. Also, this font is a little difficult to read as well.

Looking forward to your revisions.

If any of these card strike your fancy just say the word and I'll post matching letterhead. Thanks! :)

BTW - I didn't see the ASE logo in the download. Did I miss it somewhere?

An overzealous word filter was the cause. It's fixed now. :)

Elkootcho-

They like "C" and would like to see the following minor modifications and matching letterhead.

1) Make phone number bolder
2) Perhaps use a bolder font for address, etc. - they want to make sure it stands out against the blue.
2) Add ASE logo
3) Backside - Beautiful artwork but not quite the style they are looking for. What other Jesus graphics can you find? This one is too "old-style" or "Catholic-style".

THANKS!!

here are some revisions…please let me know if any changes need made. :D

[ElKootcho]

I'll have those revisions posted tonight :)

[ElKootcho]

Still trying to find a suitable JC image for the back.

[ElKootcho]

I think this is more in line with the type of JC image that you're looking for.

Mike-

Can we see the letterhead with the blue/yellow stripe down the right hand side? No changes needed for business card.

Anyone else going to submit a design? It is going to end tonight!!!!

Thanks,

[ElKootcho]

Letterhead is 2 color as you requested in your initial post.

Exactly what I had in mind . . . . It's a winner! Thanks Mike for an AWESOME job as always!! Palmer - please go ahead and award the prize money to Mike (Elkootcho). Mike - can you please update the phone number and then forward the files to me. I need them in AI or EPS - but they should be editable so that I can change the names and titles for the additional employees!

THANKS!

[Michael]

Way to go Mike you haven't lost your touch ;)
