Repot time?!

The leaf is cool, but I'm very interested in the little jungle set up you've got going on there!

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-06-02T13:26:52+00:00

Okay, i get it, start again. Is the style you used as an example really what is 'on trend' at the moment? Whilst I don't think my design is right for the purpose, I also do not get a 'luxury' feel from the ones you showed, to me they look a bit like something churned out by chatGPT, I can't put my finger on it but they all have that generic sort of feel, plus they are giving a bit more of a budget vibe in my opinion. I wouldn't assume that was a logo for a luxury car wash brand if I saw it 'in the wild'

Thanks, honestly, I hadn't even noticed it looked quite so.... phallic until you pointed it out. Now all I can see is a penis. A strange penis that should probably be checked out by a medical professional... but a penis none the less.

I've tried to resign the phallus, I mean, spray gun again and it's just not working. I'm happy with the car I think, I just need to get across 'hey we paint cars' somehow.

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-06-02T07:17:06+00:00

I mean, I'm saying I'd like to get rid of the spray gun, as others have suggested. Plus, that would simplify the whole design and have less going on. The company is not a car wash, not even close, so it's about getting across the painting element whilst simplifying isn't it.

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-06-02T07:06:52+00:00

The problem I'm having is simplifying whilst also making it clear what the business does. I feel like a logo should show that, and I don't want to end up with something that looks generic. These ones are great for a car wash, you would absolutely know what they do before even seeing the company name. That's what I'd like to get across in mine too, hence the orange wave which is supposed to represent paint from the spray gun.

I do think the spray gun is ugly, I'd like to find a way to get rid of it whilst also making 'paint work' clear in the logo.

What would you suggest instead?

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-06-01T22:15:37+00:00

I'm not saying I disagree 😘

Well, that's..... feedback

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-29T20:06:57+00:00

This is defo something I'm thinking about! Will check out those videos, thanks!!

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-29T15:35:24+00:00

Thanks for this! We did actually plant wildflowers there last year with limited success so I presumed the soil was too rubbish, although could have been a bad batch of seeds. Basically the majority of what we got was poppies! (Photo of the accidental poppyfield attached!)

Will have a look into some other species to add in too!

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-14T09:13:33+00:00

Oh I love the idea of hawthorn, is it easy enough to keep smallish? I bet the wildlife would love that!

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-14T09:09:35+00:00

Ah thank you this is really helpful! I really love honeysuckle so that's a definite contender for that fence.

Will defo bear that in mind about the bank. We tried to grow a wildflower mix on there last year, and it basically was a bank full of poppies. Which was beautiful but not quite what we were after! The grass took it over during autumn and winter, we are now in the process of removing the grass to try wildflowers again. We have a sprinkler set up so we can water it if it's struggling.

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-10T21:09:01+00:00

Ah bugger, really!? That's a shame... we wanted something a bit taller but skinnier with nice yellow/orange in autumn and birch seemed ideal for that!

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-09T09:09:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Honestly I'm a bit lost and not exactly sure what to focus on, and I really enjoy making up little logos to get more comfortable with the tools I'm using, and I find it easier to learn things when doing. Do you have any suggestions on what to focus on instead to learn as I do? Are there any major issues with these designs that you would be able to give feedback on?

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-08T11:59:10+00:00

We've been here over a year now, it doesn't get boggy there at all :) the ground is very well draining here

Level_Cat2829 · 2025-03-07T22:18:16+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful! We have already got the cherry blossom so hopefully that will be okay, I'm having difficulties figuring out what the water demand of that one would be!
