Ok so when i got the new website made I changed my logo. I like it but there one problem it kinda hard to see on T-shirts and other marketing thinks I use the logo on with the tribal in the background I feel like older people might not want to use my company even though i do great work. I also plan to come out with my own product line in the futur. So here are my taughts, use Celtic Type Lettering being that i am Itrish with a 3 leaf clover in the back ground, easy to read and simple.


What do you guys think keep the logo I have now or make a new one?
 
The one you have now is ok, except for the name "Sully's".
If I didn't look at your avatar, it would take awhile to figure out what the name spelled. Seems like it to spread out to much.

Just my two pennies worth..........
 
I qualify as an old f*rt who would have trouble with your logo.

Current logo looks great for a Biker Bar and Parts store but not for your up-scale professional business. Keep the ideas coming - you can do better!

Not as old as above (I am not certified) but I agree 100% New idea sounds good tho.
 
Something that also looks good in a single color is helpful to cut cost on things like vehicle stencils, and lower-cost marketing pieces. Save the two/full color $$ for stuff that is proven.

You could keep the spirit of the current lettering, perhaps rotating the "S" a bit clockwise and shortening the serifs at the end to avoid confusion with a heavily styled "D"
 
The font style may not attract a certain type of person. I don't know what your target clientele is. My only thought, I just hope you're not the one typing the labels. :xyxthumbs:

More food for thought...

"Sully" is a great, unique personal name but I have trouble naming a business after a person.

Let's go back to business 101 basics: the first thing you need to think about when STARTING a business is how will you get OUT of the business down the road. Sounds strange to consider getting out of a business that hasn't even started but you must think about it. 99% of businesses either grow or fold. If you grow, you either buy other businesses or another business buys you out.

Let's say you build a nice business, good client base, good location(s), decent cash flow. I decide to buy your business - but I'm not named "Sully" so the name is now reduced in value to me as a buyer. A descriptive business name would have greater value to a buyer. You may lose money...then again, maybe not but why take the risk?

There is a big "however" in this - use your name "Sully" to the MAX within the business (but not the business name). Make sure that clients know that "Sully" is the go-to-guy, the guy who makes sure the customer is satisfied..."Sully" becomes the face of the business, not the business.
