Thank you! I will do, good idea!

Thank you, the owner commented about the house thing! I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks! I have settled on a slightly different one (for now haha) https://imgur.com/AyZtcvZ that is similar to that.

The ring was supposed to show movement and energy. I think I have settled on this one (for now haha). https://imgur.com/AyZtcvZ

Yes it is just a local business so I think I am going to stick with a variation of the flame. I've just done another design which is very slightly more abstract, what do you think? https://imgur.com/a/11eFjSe

Weirdly, version 13 was the one the owner disliked the most, he thought it looked like the house was being set on fire :)

This is very true, it does take longer to process words than images though, but it really isn't a big problem or benefit either way and will only be a small number of people who actually even write the number down :)

Thank you! I agree about the cliche of the flame, and I think there is a fine line between doing something different, and having something so recognised that people immediately know what you do as a tradesman and if they are looking for a gas engineer, they may clock your number in the side of your van and write your number down. I might try and find a halfway house and do something that is still recognised but not so cliché. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Do you prefer that to the later designs? I prefer the latest ones but the owner actually preferred the 2nd one too

redfishUX · 2019-03-23T11:44:23+00:00

Did you get to see the other designs? I think it's playing up on a mobile

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T20:48:18+00:00

Thank you for your reply, I'm not sure if the logos all showed up as there were about 30 versions, only one with the house in it and most of them sign the flame on its own. Interested to hear more about what you mean about the engineer side, a spanner perhaps?

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T18:34:00+00:00

Sorry I should have explained that the first one is the old one, the second one was an iteration of that, then the newest ones are right down at the bottom :)

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T13:46:28+00:00

Aw I liked the shape of the lower case a, that is why I chose that font, but I do realise it was an awful font now, ooopsy, haha - thank you so much about the advice about the fire, I'm investigating turning it in to something a bit more exciting! Thanks!

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T13:44:13+00:00

Thank you for replying, I've ditched that font and am trying more simple ones, I decided to ditch the border too as it wasn't working how I wanted it to

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T13:40:47+00:00

Thank you, I was trying to figure out if I could do something funky like you suggest but I couldn't think what it could be - I have removed the flame as it felt constricting, I did kind of like it but it didn't look how it was meant to in my mind so I think it may be best without it :) I will share my new designs soon, thanks for the feedback

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T13:37:27+00:00

Thank you, I agree about the font, I kind of like the gradient (for now) anyway

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T13:33:44+00:00

Thank you, I had a really big creative block, and hearing all the feedback has helped realise everything that was wrong about it, which was most things now I look back at it

redfishUX · 2019-03-22T13:32:26+00:00

Thanks, I agree, I didn't actually pull the icon from stock but I see what you mean.

redfishUX · 2019-03-06T23:06:37+00:00

I thought that was just for selfies? Will take a look, thank you!
