Logo Help!! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

J-DaWg · 08-16-2004, 10:30 AM

A friend of mine has asked for my assistance designing a logo for his company that he has just started. The logo would be used for business cards, flyers etc... Since I can't seem to visualize exactly what he wants I thought I would turn to you wonderfully talented folks for some help. Heres the particulars...

Company Name: Whitewater Plumbing
Hes thinking something with a waterfall and a man going over the waterfall in a raft holding a monkeywrench in his hand. (I have no idea how to work this all into a logo)

If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx!

It sounds like the wrench would be too tiny if a waterfall were also part of the image. Perhaps if the man were in a kayak, and you replaced the paddle with a really big crescent wrench?

(I can't draw, I won't even try.)

thanks redlemon .. the crescent wrench paddle is an excellent idea!

that's a great idea, redlemon.

still... it might be yet too much for a logo, which needs to be as simple as possible.
a logo should convey the concept with the minimalist amount of graphic details.
a logo needs to be able to be made very small for business cards, etc & still retain clarity.

just a quick thought... maybe use a wrench for the L in plumbing.
have the whitewater set in white with a blue background & the other half is plumbing blue type on white bg.

i dunno! keep us posted. i want to see what you come up with.

i'd go for a monkey wrench with "whitewater plumbing" stamped onto the handle ... could do nice chrome and embossed lettering graphics then ... btw i make not listening to customer requirements into a fine art

I would suggest that the wrench be opening a pipe to allow a river to flow (obviously the river turns into rapids).
