Wow..someone at SAR **** you off? Sorry you have a bad opinion of them...they are all not the same however. I will say with my 21 years experience and the owner's 13 years, we are not like whatever misconception you seem to have.

NOT a misconception. Have dealt with almost all the SaRs in the Vancouver area. One clown wanted to hire me, but since they were a "family business", they did not pay overtime. I said not my "family". Worked at another shop where we had this IDIOT helper, whom we fired after he continually screwed up work and lied about it. Guess where he found a job? SIGN-A-RAMA!!

Yours might be different, but you are swimming against the current of other SaR shops who do nothing to enhance the brand.

Looks like the "S" hat blew off.

The old one was more readable,

The new one just does not give a good professional business image, reminds me of Colorado's logo.

A sign shops logo should be way better unique or way professional image, old one was at least readable but plain this one is nether but modern.

You asked what I thought, I told you. Over thirty years in the biz, MY name over the door.

Besides, who cares ??

That is my opinion in a nutshell

I wish they had some sort of design contest where actual designers threw in their ideas

But that would have stepped all over some poor little sensitive designers toes!

 

[OADesign]

Yeah I'm in agreement with most everyone. I don't like it...but what does it matter.
I wish they had some sort of design contest where actual designers threw in their ideas and then drew from that. Instead they had someone at corporate design it. I heard there were a few options in the design process that were even worse. Oh well....

Not sure where you were when this all went down, but this design WAS part of a contest. AND it was from a store level designer. I believe the guy is out in AUS.

As far as the design, I like the wordmark. But the icon not so much. I see pizza. Looks like the logo from Z Pizza when they first opened. I also see party hat.

Logo

Looks a little close to this one I believe.

Im hungry!

What? No cheese?

Compared with the old logo, it's refreshing. It certainly looks a lot less dated. The Superman cape looks alright but I don't know if it's an appropriate theme for a sign company. On the other hand, one of the biggest realtor duos in our city uses the Batman Forever font on their logo and it seems to work for them.
