This is my first post on this board. Let me first give you my opinion of the logo/card, followed by an introductin of myself.
The wood is a good idea for a card, not for logos or signage. Think about it, the idea of marketing (or even having a logo) is to be recognized. If I saw that as a logo on a truck, sign, etc. I would have to see it 5000 times to even know what it said. We all know the Nike swoosh because of its simplicity, get the idea.
To be honest, it looks like you got some new graphics software that you really had fun playing with. To get a more simple recognizable "logo", somthing people will remember, Try to use a larger wand under the name of your business. If you really want to introduce the wood pattern, just try to include it where the spray is. The only other suggestion I would have is about your email address, It is to long! It is to much to remember.
Now a little about myself. I have Live in southern Wisconsin, married 7 years, 4 year old son. I have been in the deck cleaning and sealing business for 5 years. I could prob. make a full-time run but it is hard to give up the guaranteed $16.00 + ben. and options i get from Walgreen's. I have pleanty of time to operate my business as well. I'm done with work at 1:30p.m. When I get real busy, I have a friend help me.
I happened on this business by chance, I owned a unit in a 32 unit condo association. I saw the guy that was doing the decks one year. He washed with a garden hose,no chem, and came back the next day to apply Thompson's. No kidding! Well They wanted them done 2 years later, They all looked like s**t. I had a real problem paying a guy $150 (my unit) for doing nothing. Before they had a meeting to decide that they were going to get them done again. I did mine myself. 2 weeks later, I was doing all others as well. I loved it and still long for the day that I grow a set of nuts and stop punching the clock at Walgreen's.
Sorry for the long post, but it was my first.
