    Logo feedback.

    I've been detailing for about 3 years for a company and going to get my own detailing business started now.
    Let me know what you guys think of my logo and business name.

    Re: Logo feedback.

    It's pretty neat.

    A couple of thoughts and suggestions:
    1. what is the little red line above the "M" in the word "IMPERIAL"?
    2. why is the "M" in a different font?

    My suggestion is to remove the little thingy above the M and match the font. Also, consider the expense of doing any print work with a black background. Digitally this doesn't matter, and I don't know if black business cards are more expensive than white business cards.

    Honest opinion?

    It looks like every other detailing logo out there. You won't stand out at all.

    Re: Logo feedback.

    Im assuming the "M" is supposed to look like a crown?

    I actually kinda like the logo, but i agree with PurpleTowel. It looks VERY generic, ive seen a similar logo at least 10 other times.

    Looks good but I tend to logo my company affiliated with the town or county you live in.

    I like the sports car silhouette logos, but you're right, they're everywhere.

    I feel for the guy who first painted up a silhouette of a car as a logo, now he doesn't even stand out.

    Re: Logo feedback.

    It's very late 90s and has been done a thousand and one times, which makes it a cliché. Heck, the second reply in this thread has a similar image in his sig. I could probably pull a dozen or more detailing logos that look like this off the web in 20 minutes of searching. While it might look nice to your eye, what it accomplishes is it make you invisible to a customer trying to remember who you are. They see an ubiquitous silhouette of a sports car on a black detailing logo and might patronize someone else thinking they were you, and never even know it.

    I wouldn't recommend tying your brand to your city or location unless there is some long-standing inherent value in being a big fish in a big pond (i.e. Miami, Chicago, New York, etc.). Find something that represents you and what you believe in, and it is more likely to be memorable than a side view picture of a car. You're an original, your business brand should be, too.
