Inspired FX Card Layout.jpg

Starting up my business and designed myself a logo and made some double sided business cards.

Perhaps a bit too bloody for most clientele. I was looking for tattoos somewhere on the product lineup....just sayin'. Stereo's should be Stereos....not possessive. JB

I don't know your background, but I'll go out on a limb and assume I'm close to being accurate: I don't understand how companies that likely have never had any experience with something more substantial than printing or design claim that '' no job is too big'', or they're a '' full service sign shop''.

If a customer calls and needs a 90' pylon sign, you're saying you can handle the code research, the survey, the design work, the permitting, the engineering, the fabrication, the transportation, the pier drilling, the concrete work, the installation, and all related service work?

Besides the numerous grammatical errors I don't mind it. It wouldn't appeal to any of my client groups, but for retail vehicle stickers, motorcycle, showcars, racecar wraps and the like, it'll have an appeal. That would also fit in well with your other vehicle accessory products.

Ditch the "we do it all" approach, specialising is where most businesses thrive these days. Know who your market is, target them, have someone else check your grammar, and you could do well.

I like the front it is a good tight layout that leads your eye & keeps it in the center plus good contrasting colors along with a style you like & more then likely clients you deal with or want to.


The back not so your eye goes to the yellow back ground area & bounces around not knowing what to look at.

Like most wraps today & sign advertising I see, from those not educated.


Study your work from the past & others, pay attention to where eyes go & why, Then think of ways to correct.

If you like it keep it. If your doing wild , off the wall, tribal designs and angry fellers wraps, keep it, if you doing high class signage for upscale clinetle it ain't gonna work.

I usually try to stay positive when critiquing... so I will say that I like the color combo. That being said, I think the style you are going with, where as it may attract some, will scare off many more. And it's a numbers game, so why not increase your odds? Try coming up with something that attracts the masses, not just a certain group of people, especially if you are going to claim that you do it all. I believe this graffiti-like style may scare away certain demographics that we have found to be great customers all for the chance of winning over a demographic that we have had less luck with in the past.

what kind of signs do you make? it you explained the type of work you do, this logo might start to make sense. you say the word signs so I can only assume you don't just do wraps. the general public would never call you for a job with that logo. no business person would trust you to make something for them when your logo has a skull in it. if you do signs for tat shops, wraps and such, maybe this would be OK as like reconizes like. if do nothing at least fix the "to" to "too"

Welcome to the forum, ignore the negative comments, but pay attention to the constructive feedback.

First and foremost ... FIX the grammatical errors (the correct spellings are ---> too, logos, stereos).

Color combo is good, the graffiti style graphics are fine IF that is the type of client/market segment you're trying to target or you're interested in attracting. As others have pointed out, the skulls and blood spatters are probably not going to appeal to main stream customers (if you're ok with that, than stick with it).

No need to tell people that no job is too big or too small ... and everyone claims they can do it all. You might be better off establishing your business as experts in one particular area or niche. Based on your current logo, I'd assume that might be Vehicle Restyling (wraps, window tinting, stereos, alarms, etc).

Do you have a website? If not, you need to get one. If you have one, it should be listed (along with your phone # and email address).

Next, assuming that you DO have a website, get rid of your current email extension (@comcast.net) and create one that is directly related to your website URL (@yourdomainname.com). Many customers will view your current email as an indication that your business is not professional enough or not well established (an amateur or hobbyist).

Good luck.

So very true. You can get your own domain name for less that a week's worth of high-end coffee. I can't believe how many "professionals" are still using a generic domain name email addresses. With that said, I'd be interested in your revised layout. JB

Welcome to the forum, ignore the negative comments, but pay attention to the constructive feedback...

Here' the thing, sport. No one ever learns as much from positive reinforcement as they might from negative feedback. That being the case, any rational being would suggest listening to the negative responses and not paying all that much attention to the mostly Pollyanna-like positive drivel. Do this and you might learn something.

Without negative feedback one can never, as in ever, learn what is unacceptable. This applies not only to design but the training of children and animals as well.

Sugar coat it all you want. There is nothing positive about it.
ok the color is nice.

The logo is bad, the font is bad. He needs to start over.

You know something irritated me so much with your post that I almost composed a message "who the hell are you" but thankfully decided not to post. It is funny that I was not alone in this feeling.
