[Project Complete] plumbing company logo

[michellecwells]

(Admin code added by Palmer - PS9337305)

hello. i need a logo for a small plumbing company. the company is called "R. G. Wells & Co. Plumbing", the color palettes should be basic brown, blue and/or green -- and the logo to be simple and clean, nothing too fancy or flashy.

my preliminary idea -- client is open to this but not set on it:

"r. g. wells & co." (lower case in arial or something similar)
______________ (some kind of dividing line/s)
P L U M B I N G (justified, all caps)

the old logo incorporated a sketched mountain range in the background. if a simple version can be incorporated in a good looking way -- maybe arching over the "r g wells" -- that would be fantastic -- but it's not critical.

with that said, i defer to your expertise -- and look forward to seeing your creations!

thank you!

Can you upload an image of the old logo so we can see the mountain range graphic?

Thanks,
David

Not exactly a mountain scene, but thought I'd give it a go anyway :)

Concept 1

[michellecwells]

wow...there are some really great logos so far, i'm very impressed. i will try to find an electronic version of the old logo to upload, for now I'm attaching a picture of the mountain range and here are a few comments:

david: a great start, and i like the colors, but somehow the font and mountains seem a little steep, almost like a ski resort logo. maybe try to flatten it a little?

chicken: i like the font and design very much, what about changing the mountains to brown and using blue and/or green for the rest?

bill: i like this logo, but there is one reason i don't think it will work, which i should have said in my original request: the only other major plumbing company in this town has a wrench in their logo -- so i think this seems too similar.

lonely rabbit: of the three designs, i like the first one the best -- it is clean and simple. what about trying it with richer, more vibrant colors?

tonya: i like this, but, as noted above for bill, it is too similar to the company's competition's logo.

aaron: the design is different than i envisioned but i like it. what about trying it with blue and/or green? the client is pretty set on basic blue and green -- secondarily brown.

thank you to everyone! look forward to the second (and probably final) round!

One from me :)

[michellecwells]

hello all, sorry for not getting comments posted more quickly. again, everything looks great...

three general comments and then we'll be done:
1) drop the "& co." from the name
2) make the mountains look a little more like the attached picture
3) when using small "g" -- use the old style g (which means changing fonts i think). as reference, i know franklin gothic medium and book antiqua fonts both use the old style small g but are not necessarily what the font for this logo should be. want to keep it clean and simple.

i did talk to the client and the preferred images so far are: my chicken #3; MOZ; mowling and eziey 1.

thanks again, look forward to final submissions.

[MOZ]

MOZ will be posting an updated version soon...Thank you

Last minute 'simpler' version. :)

[michellecwells]

it was a tough decision, but we've decided to go with my chicken #5.

thank you to everyone for all of your great work. the results were quite impressive and it has been a lot of fun -- i will definitely use this site again.

[MyChicken]

Thanks!! :D I'll get changes to you by tomorrow (Thursday).
