I need Help with Logo

[Mike Hall]

Anyone want to help me come up with a cool logo for a soda blasting company? I just invested $16K into a mobile soda blasting setup and I need to get some cards and brochures made so I can start advertising. I don't have a huge budget but I can pay for a professional logo so let me know what you can do and what it would cost me. I know there are some awesome artist on this site so maybe someone will be able to help.

Thanks
Mike

[Mike Hall]

Chad I have a new media Im going to try next time. I cant tell you what it is but it should be much more productive and leave the same finish if not a better finsh than the glass.

Mike, couldn't PM you. Box was full.

Here's what I sent you:

Did you commit to that name yet as far as business registration? Or do you want me to brainstorm on names as well? Not that I disagree with what you have, I just need to find out where you stand in the process.

I just added you on my short, high priority list. I'll have stuff for you to look at this week. What's your email, phone # to discuss concepts?

A few questions to make the process go faster:
1. What did you envision?
2. Have you seen any logos (any industry) that you like?
3. Favorite color? (may help when ordering business related apparrel later on)

Thanks

as for the name.....BLASTMASTER. :cool:

[Mike Hall]

There is already a blast master. Im not dead on set with that name. I just paid like $4 to get the domain name but thats nothing. Any one with an idea can chime in if they wish. I just dont want to us something someone else already uses.

I sorta had the idea of having the company name in a nice bold but cool looking font with maybe a blasting hose runing though the text with blasting media coming from the hose being under the text.

I cant say I have seen a logo I want to copy right off.

I like blue but Im open to what ever colors would look best. My last company logo was designed using green which im not fond of but it sure looked nice the way that guy used it. Color is up to you.

Thanks
Mike

Mike, is your system mobil or do customers bring their cars to you?

There is something to be said about a name that tells a customer what you do....

Classic Blasters

Car Blasters

Media Blasters

Car Stripper

RestoBlast

Strippers (you have fun with this name...)

Hall's Strippers :unibrow:

Uh, I give up...good luck!

[Mike Hall]

The name has to go with all the different media blasting I plan to do. Im dont think blasting cars alone is going to make this worth my while. I hope to get a share of the boat stripping market down around the gulf coast. For the most part there is no coating or surface that I can not blast so a name must not sould like i just strip cars or metal. Thanks for all the ideas so far.

Thanks
Mike

[tndude]

Ok, 2 more then I'm done...

How about simple....

Blast-it (like shred-it www.shredit.com)

The domain blast-usa.com is available.

now I'm done. Again, good luck and the biz sounds fun. :thumbsup:

Here's a couple variations on the design you suggested. This concept could be applied to whatever name you decide on.

Darn, you work fast. Do guys not like the Strip it all name?

Thanks

What about somthing like "BLAST OFF"

[Mike Hall]

Blast off is a cool name. Your artworks look nice too. There sure are some artistic people on this forum. Thanks again for all the ideas.

Actually, that looks pretty cool. And the domain is available (stripitall.com)

I like #2 and that would show up well on T-shirts.

[Mike Hall]

I already own www.strip-it-all.com The domain was only like $5 so its not a big deal to chang up to something else.


ignore the crapy website i had been working on. I need to build up a nice gallary of blasting before and after pictures and get a good logo before i go any farther with it. As you can see im not a web designer at all. LOL The Vette will be replaced with something but im not sure yet.

Mike

For $5 I'd snap stripitall.com also. That will prevent copy cats and if your customer types either one in....they'll find you.

Site looks like a great start.

Blast off is a pretty cool name CHROME'. I integrated it into the layout I had and made a few changes.

[Mike Hall]

Cool, I guess I get what ever logo you come up with in a few colors right. LOL Could use a Chrome logo for the website and color info packs and use the solid color logo for shirts or something.

Mike

[Mike Hall]

Darn, Blast off domain is already taken. I could go with Blast it off or something. Any one got a good way of using Blast off for a web address? I have tried these below with no luck

Blastoff.com
Blastoff.net
Blast-off.com
Blast-off.net

Do you like these or do you need to see other ideas? I figured the nameplate style (chrome) would look best on the website. Then you could use the blue one on white shirts and the white one on blue or black.

As far as domain name:

mediablastoff.com
mediablast-off.com
mediablast.com

[Mike Hall]

I like the logos as they are now.

Here are a few more:

blastoffservices.com
blastoff-usa.com
media-blasting.com (your tag line at bottom of logo)

I like 3 & 3A. They look awesome!
