      Anyone bored? Want to create a logo?

      Hey guys,

      I know there's a lot of talented people on here, and some with spare time to play around with so thought I'd post in here.

      My Dad is setting up his own business, after being made redundant from the company he ran for the past 16 years. However it's a brand new company (although he'll be taking most of his existing clients with him) so need a strong brand and logo. Unfortunately my Dad being the guy he is didn't really think about the name of the company logically when he registered it.

      Basically I've set up a number of stationary templates for him, working on a website now, but need a good brand/logo that is memorable, and people who see it will remember it and who it belongs to.

      Unfortunately as I eluded to earlier the name of the company is awkward for a logo which means I think a simple image with the text under would work better I think. The company name is 'Driving Solutions (southern) Ltd'.

      If anyone has any spare time or they're feeling creative could you have a go at knocking up a logo or something for me? I've a few I've done already in Photoshop, but just trying to get something that automatically hits you and you know it's right if you know what I mean?

      Background information. The company is a driving agency, they employ drivers for other companies, for example, Tesco might need a driver to deliver produce from a warehouse to stores, so my dads company arranges the drivers to do the work, pretty simple really.

      Anyway, if you could try that would be awesome, any other questions let me know

      Adam.

      I might give it a shot if I have some spare time; I'm sick as a dog right now anyway, so I'm not going to be doing much else after work.

      But to make sure I've got it right; the company subcontracts/hires delivery truck drivers for grocery stores, department stores, that sort of thing? I'm guessing your dad's company handles dispatching and load assignment and such as well?

      Also, it's:

      Driving Solutions (Southern) Ltd.

      Correct? Just making sure that lack of capitalization on the "(southern)" was accidental and not intentional.

      I'll try to see what I can come up with over the weekend, but obviously, anyone else that wants to should as well. I'm sure the more you have to choose from, the better. Also, if you need any help with the website, let me know.

      Hello mate, thanks for the reply. Unsure if they handle the assignments too, I wouldn't have thought so to be honest. I think they're just told a time and place to be at point A and the same for point B.

      As for southern, hmmm.. Se did it without a capital, so assume it's not a mistake but I will check with him.

      Thanks dude

      Ah, sorry I haven't been able to get something up yet, I did start on one idea, but I've been so busy lately I've not had time to do much with it. Not seeing this leting up anytime too soon, sorry.

      Just saw this thread. I'll try some stuff out.
      Bored of painting right now anyway! haha
      So is it a capital on southern?

      Okay

      Sketches. Ask him if they're what he's looking for. Then if yes I'll complete them.

      Hm, strange I still get them coming up.

      I'll re-size and add as attachments.

      I think the man could be standing in front of a truck because without it maybe no one knows what the company would be about.
      But that's just my limited time I have. I can do a couple more tomorrow probably.

      Balls sorry fella meant to come back to reply to this when I got home (read it in the car).

      I've an idea for what I want, I have a rough sketch, I meant to upload it. No pictures wanted in the logo, just text and maybe a swish or arrow or something to break up the text or add some dimension to it

      I like the arrangement of the text, the arrow just needs to be fixed in my opinion.

      Ok I literally JUST deleted flash RIGHT before I read this thread again. So I have no vector program. But just arrange it and make the arrow something like this.

      It had to be maroon as per original post Also I don't want the arrow to be as prominent in the logo as the text should be the main focus

      I REALLY don't recommend making it maroon. Why does it have to be that?
      Is it possible at all to change it?
      The thing is, the text stands out more in mine than in yours.

      I suppose I'll devote a short while and see what I come up with...

      I wonder what Southern Limited means?

      Edit: Uhh I g2g, tell me what you think of this i just uploaded quick. Nvm the background it's my default thingy, will work on it more later if you like, when you give opinion of colour what where etc. kbai (see spoiler)

      Spoiler for logo:

      tommo it's the company colours, so has to be that way.

      ClouD I cannot see it - stupid work filter. Could you attach it to the post? I think we've found something we're happy with, unless ClouD yours is a million times better than this: http://www.drivingsolutionssouthernltd.co.uk/

      Now just need to build the site...

      Well mine wasn't/isn't finished, but I think I just attached it now.

      Edit: Yes I did attach it, first time for everything.

      Oh poo bum it's tiny though...? Just a thumbnail prrbllt...

      Edit2: Hurm, it's lacking something, and the colours aren't right, I'll try one more time anyhow.
