I'm doing work for my mom's company and my friends I've made who work over at http://www.lboffice.com

The place we're doing this is http://lbofficeproducts.logomall.com for the direct link.

Let me know and I'll see what kind of discount I can get you. Just mention I sent you and you're with the NHAA.

I don't consider this spam and it's not meant to be spam. I'll be using it for The Dead Society as well.

I'm going to have a meeting tomorrow with the sales staff. I need to teach them how to do graphic design basically. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding this.

I mean logo on anything from lip blam, flashlights, condoms, shirts, bags, glasses and mugs, USB drives, knives, pens, etc...

Just something to think about.

Cool

I just wish somebody would draw us one. We've had many promises, but no results. I have a semi, a car and an airplane to put them on, and would love to give out some cute merchandise.

Denise, do you have anything so far? I mean I suck at photochop but if you really want something I can see what I can come up with. Just give me some ideas or scan a drawing you've done on paper etc... brainstorming ideas. What wording do you want because that is important too.

[Morella]

I'm afraid that logos are a weak spot for me. All I can give you are the details, but this should be easy.

It needs to say, "ADM Aero". The two words need to be about the same size, so that we don't get sued by ADM. They dwarf us.

The company does both aviation and trucking, so this would need to go on the sleeper cab of a truck, or on the vertical fin or door of any sized aircraft. We can paint those.

Something simple would be best, so that the passengers at the terminal can make it out as they watch aircraft taxi by. Even a text effect on the words might suffice, but a little design would be cool too. Just keep it really simple. That might make it easier to put on small merchandise as well. We contact about a hundred people a month...although some of them are dupes, we can always give them trinkets every time we meet them. We would be a small but steady customer. Pens are good...another reason to keep it small and simple. Nobody can ever find one, so I would buy a few just for myself.

The full name is "ADM Aero, LLC., dba ADM Aero Transportation Services", but no way would we want all of that on a logo.

Thanks

What does ADM stand for anyway?

I'll do my best with the information I have.



K I've got two versions (long and wide). The long would look good on pens and such while wide I think would be best on tail fins and truck doors. I went with blue because it's the color I think of when I think of air and it's pleasing to the eyes. I went with Ariel for the font since it's highly visible and easily readable. Keep in mind this is not the finished logo at all. I'm just throwing out a couple of ideas to see what you think.

[Morella]

I like the long one, with an arrow. Blue is an excellent color, because it will match the DSW and Swift placards on the tractor, which they need to see before we can take their trailers. They are the contract that is bringing in the bucks right now. It's also my favorite color.

ADM stands for "Anthony and Denise McCracken".

Thanks

"Blue conveys importance and confidence without being somber or sinister, hence the blue power suit of the corporate world and the blue uniforms of police officers. Long considered a corporate color, blue, especially darker blue, is associated with intelligence, stability, unity, and conservatism. "

"You can use blue to promote products and services related to cleanliness (water purification filters, cleaning liquids, vodka), air and sky (airlines, airports, air conditioners), water and sea (sea voyages, mineral water). As opposed to emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect. Use blue to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products"

Thanks, but I learned a lot on colors and marketing in high school. Still good information though.

However green is the color most pleasing to the eyes (which is why the underside of cap brims are usually green) however these days it's more associated with "going green" and forests/nature.

[Morella]

I hate green, and we already have quite a bit of blue on our white tractor, which would clash. A little red, perhaps on the arrow, would give it some constrast and draw attention to it, not to mention match the red, white and blue pattern that we have on our aircraft.

We're a proud American company.

Look at how simple Olay's logo is, the next time you pass a cosmetics aisle. Something like that is all we need.

[Scary Guy]

Oh don't get me wrong, I wasn't going to make it green, I was just saying as far as colors go it's a great color.

Here is version two

[Morella]

I like it. Are you done with it, or do you want to embelish it more? If it's ready, I just need to get it trademarked and we can talk about some merchandise.

Thanks

Hey if you're happy with it then I'm happy with it. But if you think something more needs to be done or have any other ideas let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[Morella]

Let me send it over to Tony, and as soon as he gets to his next Internet stop, I'll make sure that he likes it. I do. Then I'll get in touch with you by PM.

Thanks
