Did I mess up? Is 30 the new 25?

 

[adarshnet]

Will be participating..........
You want the ".com" in the logo or just "EPestControlSupply" is ok?

 

[Chuck Williams]

I'd have to see how the .com was incorporated. It could go either way to be honest. My last logo didn't have the .com in it, and I love it.

How about this?:

EDIT: OK, showing now. Needs to be more "professional" referring to its contextual use, not your quality of work.

Like the gradient, like the text... not in love with the E, or the insect.

EDIT: Actually, its growing on me... can you think of a way to make the E stand out a bit more, for branding purposes, the E should be prominent.

It's very busy. There is also a lot of negative space. I like the rats, I dislike the gradient on the rats, but like the gradient use in the text. If the text was more substantial, both in size and in depth, and you found a way to shorten it, either by not using the .com, or putting the "supply" on a second line (or both?)... I think we'd be getting somewhere.

Something more like this?

I though it looked a bit better/cleaner without the ants.

I like this, however I dont like the "wave", and I dont think that "Supply" is quite right in either take. What is that surrounding the roach? I like it, I just know my partner is going to ask. I also equally like the green and blue versions of the text, but think the "washout" in the center is a bit overdone on the blue rendition. Hope that helps!

Much better. I think the spacing in the text needs to be a bit tighter, and maybe the E could be a bit more distinct, either larger, or a slight font variation... I like that the rats are really incorporated into the text, even being on top of one part and beneath another in the same letter. Nice layering Also, I think Supply could be smaller, and tighter to the first line. Thanks for the effort! Can't wait to see the next version!

I really like this. Maybe try it blue instead of green? Also, only a "semantic" issue, but a ladybug is actually a beneficial bug to have in your garden, because they eat bad bugs.. organic gardeners buy ladybugs to put in their gardens for this reason. So... gotta change the bug

Better... still some minor spacing issues between the C and the O. Its also very "flat".

Here is a updated Version, and around the Art Around the bug is showing you Got it under control.

Enjoy,

Its beautiful. I think I like the concept of a red e, done like the newest version. I still envision a "red white and blue" website here... but I think we're getting close.
