Its all good Sign Maniac. I have been enjoying learning how to do 3d. I been screwing around on my own with different shapes etc.. so that gave me some practice time. Was more just something different for me to try and hone my skills on. While showing something better than my original crude drawing.
The Text on that is Just way too plain even for my pedestrian tastes.

That was a great post Dan and well stated!
Isign I really like what you've started and think you did exactly what Dan said! It's not the same old roof and the use of corrugated metal is synonymous with contracting, especially roofing! I wouldn't even be mad if you through a couple of screw heads in there!
Laserman you are getting some good stuff in this thread, look forward to seeing some revisions!
Addio, I'm not saying I like ya or anything but...I think it is pretty cool for one, that you understand you are not good at designing and regardless that you keep trying and posting your attemps. Practice makes...better
Hey...somebody pass that to Gino...he's chewing to the bone over there!

Here is a traditional type layout , there's room for some more elements on the shield or you could wrap a banner around it.

like the idea of John's showing the edge of a metal roof. really not liking the big "N" in any form as it adds nothing to the message. the list of services is crushed to death and needs some room between each service. there's a dot but it isn't enough to break it up. the services metal roofs, siding, seemless gutters fit together but the chimney sweeping kind of gets lost as a service as it isn't expected in that list. it might work better to have the list and then add "and chimney sweeping" some how so that it stands out. some have no need for a new roof, gutters or siding but they do need the services of a chimney sweep. just something to think about

Hey Addie....... 3D is not created by adding a second layer to something like a letter or geometric shape and then making it darker.
3D is finding your two points of perspective [your imaginary horizon line called vanishing points] and making everything that is perpendicular to that line extend to one side or the other. Adding highlights and shadows are totally optional, but not necessary.
However, doing it in computer software is quite different. The basics are the same, but software allows one to cheat and hit this key and that key and presto.... you have 3D. However, it's not always correct if you don't know the basics.

My 3d element was the roof, chimney, and smoke. I basically drew my shapes and used illustrator's 3d effects to modify them. Then tweaked em a bit to my taste. The text was just dropped shadow Garbage I through in their to incorporate the name.

one point
Your basic box in your drawing is one point perspective, two point would be if you drew it from the edge.

Regardless of what you posted or did or what you think you did in your mind.... my last statement is more true now, than the first time I wrote it.
Your taste means nothing, if you don't know what you're doing.
I was actually trying to help you, but if you want to justify what you did with your silly foolheaded notions and reasons.... then forget it. I won't interfere with whatever it is you're trying to do. Look at Dan's new thread and get some pointers and leave the designing to people like him and some of the others here that know what they're doing. Some things just can't be taught to some and some are just incapable of learning as a result of their stubbornness.

Like Adrian said, I know its been done to death, but Ill throw it in anyway.
Since he does numerous types of work, Im wondering if the corrugated metal should be the central point. If thats what he wants to push, for sure.
If not, then something more generic in the way of an icon or art to go with the copy.
