Opinions on My business name & logo

[Akhter]

Folks what do you make of my business name and logo ive designed?, any comments or ideas welcome. ITs on the attachment below.

On the whole it looks fine, but there are a couple of things that look a bit odd to me.

1. The drop shadow on 'N.I' makes it look blurred.
2. 'Tile & Clad' doesn't look properly centred. Probably an optical illusion, but i'd want the '&' to be placed dead centre of tile. You may have to space the letters in 'Tile' a little to get it balanced.

chears beanz, ur right, do you think it matters about putting N.I in as in Norhhern ireland?

[Akhter]

Chears Beanz its between that and this other one in this attachment.

I like the second one, Looks good

Think N.I surface solutions could be the one North West might sort of confine my working area even though ill be covering all of Northern Ireland

Prefer the second one but why the : after decorative, followed by * before internal? Would be better to lose both colon and bullet point star

Yup i agree. Also i'd arange that text so it fits in the tile too, or even better, have it completely seperate from the actual logo.

Another thing you may want to consider, is the printing costs. The more colours you use the more it costs. Also bevels and textures can be a bit of a nightmare to print apparently, but i guess that would depend on what/where you are printing.

You also need some contact details on there. ie phone fax Mobile number website and email.

change the first initial to an 'A' , that way, if you use yellow pages, thomson etc, you'll be at the front of the listing.

On your business cards/flyers/paperwork, yes; in the logo, no.

Have to agree, much prefer the look of the second one

The second one is better IMO, reagrding N.I. I had no idea that NI stood for nothern ireland in this context, i though it was your initials or something. But im not from ireland, maybe folk near you will?? If not i'd drop it.

Agree - second one better, and agree drop the colon:, and do you need the word 'decorative'. Not sure I'd bother with the initial A for the directories listing - I never select a tradesman to call based on it being first entry in the list. Not even AAAAA Taxis!!
