I loved CASmate... That is how i got my nickname... DrCAS.

The first sign i painted for money was two signs for the American Cancer Association in January of 1973 for my art teacher. I got paid $20.00. Big bucks at the time...

when i was the lead designer for a large electric sign shop in the Cities, they hired a another designer to pick up some of the load... I told this brash young man, who had just graduated with his two year degree from The Minneapolis Institute of Art, that there was a book I wanted him to read...

Leslie Carbaga also has "The secret life of a logo". Outstanding book.

Bragging about ignoring your wife for business while on vacation? Where is the "shaking my head" button... Better yet, we need a "STUPID" button.

Hahahahahahahahaha! Spoken like a true homeowner!

Okay... here is some ideas I cranked out tonight listening to baseball... This one is more of a graphic than a logo. I made a stylized graphic of a truck with a topper. These are more of a logo style. I liked the truck outline idea that you had before. What I didn't like is that it a...

I took Jill's suggestion and re-did the re-design. I think it works better. .

The reverse italic of "Darkside is fighting with the direction the car graphic is taking. The graphic is too high tech looking for the name and the staggered text on "Auto Solutions" just looks wrong.

The only thing I see is that the Redlines need to be toned down some. They really aren't that vivid in real life. They are detracting from the awesome job you did on the rest. Very nice work!

Software called "Poser"... That is funny... Think of the spoof ads we could all conjure up for that... "Here is Tommy. He really can't design a sign but he BS's everybody by using POSER!" Seriously, that looks like some cool stuff.

I like it... I can see and ad in the paper... "I want YOU to eat here!"

The lettering rocks. The illustration is well done. The design is well balanced. There is something about the position of her legs and proximity of her bum on the moon that bother me. It looks like she is sliding off the moon and about to take a header. The position of her legs don't seem right...

I saw this thread and decided to come play. I worked up a design while listening to the hockey game on the Internet... I think you can work an image into a letter form, like Joe Diaz said, if you can make it a legible letter. The problem with redesigning a logo that has been in use for awhile...

Remember, this is the last great act of love for your pet. They rely on you to make the decisions that they can't. I have buried acquaintances, friends, and family and shed fewer tears than I have for our Bert and Shirley. My deepest condolences.

The crescent shapes with the italicized letters seems to conflict with opposite motions to me. I would also lose gradients in the design. remember KISS. I think you are on a good track... I actually like the first design better. I did agree about the burst because the long spikes did remind me...

I painted my first sign for money in 1973. .

Dave Phillips is an awesome guy. I have bought equipment and software from hi for years. Very knowledgeable and a heck of a nice guy besides...

It looks like Square 721 Bold Condensed (Eurostyle) that has been elongated and reverse italicized. I did a quick overlay on your photo and it is pretty darn close. Some very minor tweaking.

Good job! .
