Heyyy. Another logo thread.

[Mr. Ingram's Computer Repair & Shoppe]

I am wanting to switch from the super thin stencil to something with more umph that can be read from the street. Came up with this, I really like the font, not sold on the mouse circle:


EDIT: adjusted a little...

I quite like it all. The "mouse circle" is a startup / shutdown button is it not?
The three "forks" instantly remind me of USB and the mouse of course is synonymous with computing.
The bold black font is striking so catches the eye.
Nice work IMO.

The "N" is triggering my OCD.

Its the uppercase N, at a lowercase size. Look at the rigid uppercase M in Mr, and the curvy lowercase "m" at the end. They are two different styles as they should be.

But the N isnt a lowercase N, its a little uppercase N.

Im sure most people wont notice it, but my eye went straight to it as something being off.

Picky picky eagle eyes!
Yeah, I looked at it for a while and still didn't notice that!
Would be better to change it though....

Took me a second too. I was like: "Hmm... something is... off.... what is it? ..... hmmm.... AH, its the N!"

It is!

Thats where I got that idea! you're on a role!

The bold black font is striking so catches the eye.

I do love this font... its soft and bold!

Its the uppercase N

I'll photoshop the lowercase "m" into an "n" and switch it out. I see what you mean!

Im sure most people wont notice it, but my eye went straight to it as something being off.

Im still switching it because Now it bothers me!

(^hidden "n" up there for ya)

I don't know, I have a feeling at least one person is going to look at that logo and think to themselves...my mouse doesn't have 3 plugs he must fix a different type of computer.

It hurts how right you are...

EDIT: I dont like the wrench design that a lot of people use... Any suggestions on what to put on the end of the cable?

Here's one I made up to go along with the catch phrase "Digital Doctor" - heh......

That's bloody genius.

 

[Diggs]

That's bloody genius.

This is the one I made that I never got around to using. (chuckles - just thinking out loud in Corel. I let my daughter make the judgement calls on whether they should be used in public or not.)

I think I have made my new logo and font:

 

[cypress]

I think the logo is very creative.

 

[HCHTech]

I like the design, but the kerning is bad - especially in the word "Computer". If you have a graphics person or whatever, have them fix that. I agree with Bryce on the "N" - change it to lowercase. I don't see any problem with the 3 symbols at 10:00 in the mouse circle, in fact, I kinda like it. It's different.


Edit: I also like your company name - it sounds vaguely British. Formal & polite. You might consider learning a British accent - haha.

Might need to grow a big "Handlebar Moustache" as well!....What? "Tally Ho! Pip Pip and 'Raaarrrther?"

I like it! Keep the forks they look great! It screams "circuitry!" If you do decide to change it, I'd go with just a USB plug.

 

[fencepost]

I actually really like the logo portion of it, because you can use it just about anywhere and people are still going to get the idea "Computer shop" even if there's no text at all. You could fiddle with the style of it (or get a pro logo designer to do so), but the base concept seems really solid to me.

I would suggest asking non-techies what they think of it. Personally, the do-dads at the top leave me cold and confused, like "what the h*ll is that supposed to be," is my first reaction. I would suggest replacing them with a USB plug and and bringing that right up close to the top, almost closing the circle. As it is, I find it way too busy. BTW, I have absolutely no artistic/design aptitude or taste.
