Send Tater his $500 and he'll send you the files.
Maybe you can polish a turd after all.

I dont really like that font either, but it could possibly be made to work.
Heres an idea I came up with.

That is really good. I like that.

How much?

I would not presume to suggest what Mr. Deaton should charge you {if anything}for what he posted here, But you could very easily man up and contact John privately and come to some mutually agreeable payment for his professional services.

I have had the pleasure of John doing an illustration for me in the past, and his services as well as the quality of the finished work will serve you well to propel your company into the public's perception at a level well above the postings you brought to this thread.
The real question will be whether your services to your customers can carry the quality and character that a well designed logo portrays?

I, having followed your postings on Signs101 in the last year, wonder whether as a "broker", selling other peoples products and services under your company name, have the talent, and or the reserve to live up to a well designed logo that represents professionalism, to an unsuspecting clientele? I use the term "unsuspecting" because you strike me as somewhat like the Wizard of Oz, a thundering voice veiled from the view of those who might look beyond the curtain and see who really is Adtechia LLC?

Just wondering.

So very true. You said it in a manner that I probably would've blown both barrels on this 'Broker'. :Oops: I almost used a 'J'

I'd sooner believe he posted his feeble attempt in hopes that someone would cough up some free drawings and then he’d make an offer to pay for them. This is the same guy that when asked to pay a certain amount for something refused and got into an argument over what artwork is really worth.

I saw this thread last night & tried really really hard to now jump on there & speak the truth of what i think of your design.. I managed to leave, only to come back and be tempted 1 or 2 more times.. at which point i thought I should just charge right in and ignore the logo & state how little respect i have for who you've shown yourself to be 90% of the time you've been witnessed here... I felt instead of a negative response on your logo coming from someone who has seriously suggested you leave at least twice & wished out loud that you would be banned from here at least once.. well, that would render my opinion of your logo to be suspect at best... but that was yesterday

I have to leave the Name the way it is. The font I used there is Abtecia which inspired our name.

well, your name sucks too, so there's really no stopping you from taking the whole enchilada up a notch or two... just change ANYTHING... it can only get better!

(tater is a better man then I.. clearly a better designer, but quite a nice guy too... I look up to him!)

The lower left corner is supposed to represent our bulk mail division better than the (unknowing illegal use of) USPS eagle I had before.

I think you are lying here. Since this was first called out you said you did not know that you were using this illegally. How is it then that you "just happened" to use a USPS eagle for your mailing division?

If you just wanted an eagle in your logo and picked another one I would not suspect anything. But you mentioned that this part of the logo represents your mail division. Yet of all the 100s or 1000s of eagle images that exist as clipart or logos you unknowingly picked the USPS eagle?

And in another thread you said that your computer had a virus and was sending out emails to the signs101 forum answering questions. That is one smart and friendly virus or worm

Can you not understand why everyone has little or no respect for you? i think you should stick to being a broker and not a designer. I looked at your facebook page and the photos/logos section. You even used your logo/crest background/clipart for another logo... maybe for a bar or something? Unless this is a personal project don't recycle your logo to create a logo for someone. Most of your designs seem to be nothing more than taking parts from other images/logos and reusing them for yourself

Just like people come to you for printing, you should hire a professional. Right now your old logo and new logo are very amateurish and resemble a grade school project at best

Already worked something out with John.

Gino, I never argued with anyone about the price of anything ever. So not sure who your confusing me with.

Now I was informed by Fred and others that it was illegal. I told everyone I was correcting it, and apologized and did.

The Vegas Knights image you posted. Wasn't a logo for them it was some artwork on the Doors of the casino that they requested after seeing my logo. I did exactly what they asked for. Funny you should pick the worst part of that job to post and not the better pieces I did on the windows.

 

[2972renfro]

Which ones are the better pieces? The photos of the knights and castle?!?!

Gino;
Your point of view is very close the one that prompted my original response to the O.P.

I was reticent to even bring this to the front of the class for possible consideration, due to the lack of evidence to that end, at least up to this time on this issue.


Perhaps the lashings Adtechia LLC has recently endured will have had their desired results, { a wiser man}, calling Signs101 home.
But if former behavior is any indication of future behavior, your evaluation is most likely correct. SAD TO SAY!


We can only hope!

This is exactly why I didn't post any actual suggestions.
I hope John did make some money for being nice enough to help.

I did not set out looking for anything free. I set out to show what I had done. I actually put effort into that logo.

Now, according to popular opinion it was wasted effort. I had no intention when starting this thread in making a drastic change. After all the feedback to throw the whole thing in my recycle bin. I started honestly looking on how to start over when I was voluntarily shown a much better logo.

I have worked out purchasing this logo. Since, it is by far better than what I had been able to create myself and it was at what I felt was a more than fair price. Especially considering the value of the wasted hours I spent working on the posted logo to no avail.

Ad, as someone that's not a designer (me), I've been in your shoes. I have spent hours and hours and hours playing with logos, trying to come up with something I am happy with and proud that I did. It's not easy, but it's a learning process, and while I could pay someone for a logo and be done with it, what would I have learned from the process? Not as much as I'd like.

I'd encourage you to continue and know that it's not "time wasted" by any means. Time learning your craft is always time well spent, in my opinion.

Having said that, I think John did a really nice job. I think you can be proud of that logo.

Will it win 1st place in a sign magazine? Probably not. Does it look professional? I think so!

Just my opinion.

Your probably right about spending time learning not being a waste. I do have to admit it was fun learning the techniques to make that Mailbox. I have to admit I used a tutorial to teach me some of the techniques. However, I hope I can use them to make some cool stuff in the future and be able to not use as much clipart.

Better yet why don't he put a clip art Front end loader in there and charge $500 for it. Rather than put a little effort in it and attempt draw his own. Oh wait I am sorry only you do that Isign.
