let me try to explain why I believe this logo is not THAT bad for what I wanted to achieve.
It's not too fancy
It's easy to understand
It says what I do (without stated limitations for future expansion)
It can be cut in vinyl with one color
it can be screen printed with one color
it can be printed with effects applied to it to change it a little for different events/seasons
it's text only but looks like a logo with the added shapes
I gotta a lot of reading to do about the design, I know that, but also know that a logo is as strong as the money you put behind it make it a brand. I rely on my service and craftsmanship to keep people hiring me, not just the logo.
Nike, coke, IBM and I can keep going, are known everywhere in the world, but is that for their logos or is it because of the money the pour on marketing campaigns and their global presence?
I live in a town of 100K people, and the country has 3 million people total .... so I hope you guys get the point.
I do appreciate your criticism, that's why I came here asking for it, but we gotta understand that everyones reality is different. I can tell you that because I lived in the states for almost 10 years, and it's night and day with a 3rd world country like mine.
Gas here is over 8 dls/gal , so you can figure out the rest just by knowing the cost of gas.
Also I'm not trying to be rich, I just want to enjoy being around my folks while I still have them, waiting for my first child, and avoid at all cost having to work for someone else, and to top all that ... doing something I enjoy.
Again, not trying to be a jerk here, just presenting some facts to help you understand my position.
