This is a Raster image but there is a vector logo , however this one suited a website better than the vector logo, that was made for the roof box of driving car.



what do you think, please let me know

No.. No.... No......

This looks hokey and unprofessional. Without the flames, it might be better suited for a daycare center or cartoon.

You might consider going to a print shop to have them design your letterhead and a logo. Ask for a few samples and pick the one that will best appeal to your prospective clients. Most of them will do the logo for a reasonable charge if there's a chance you'll buy your letterhead from them.

As it stands, the "L" looks like a child's building block, the flames behind the "A" make it hard to read and the font style looks as though it were hand lettered by a 4 year old, probably not the look or image you're hoping to convey.

I'd lose the flames and change the font. (I'm anticipating another site with a black background and white or yellow text. Please don't do that either.)

I have to agree; this is not a professional looking logo, and while the colors are eyecatching, they are outdated for web design.

I will give offer the advice I need to take myself: hire a professional designer.

Cheers, MJ

I understand the color clash between the 'A' and the flames and maybe the 'L' was too big, but the logo looks great on the roofbox of the car.
Thanks for the comments, but I'd have to disagree with some of the comments you made but I went to a print shop and they gave me a terrible logo that looked a lot worse.

The flames are the main part of the logo and without them, the roofbox would look like every other one in the country. Our logo had to be eye-catching so that more potential customers would notice it.

In my view, you look at logos like these with too expectant an attitude, expecting top quality stuff from everyone. The customers would look at it thinking that it was an interesting design compared to the usual boring ones with their name in Arial font or something on a white background. This logo is something different though. I agree, I am no logo designer but I only started a bit ago. I think that this was a good logo and suited it's purpose perfectly.

Also, whats wrong with a black background and white text, it is very readable, just as well as if it was the other way around.

It isnt that I can't take critisism, it is just that I don't want my work slagged off like it has been. I was trying to defend my work, hoping for some constuctive critisism, not just rude remarks about how my logo is just aboloutely terrible.

I would hardly say 'Hire a Professional' is constuctive critisism, but thats your problem to deal with. I don't understand how out of the people we asked, all of them said that the logo was great, yet two people who call themselves so-called 'professionals' just walk in and criticise it crazily, surprisingly more than any other logo that was uploaded onto this website.

I would have to agree it is less than desirable.

Take Dubbya's advice.

Good luck

Sorry if you were offended. While you may not see that as constructive criticism, if you *were* to hire a professional designer, you could have a logo that wouldn't get this sort of criticism. A print shop is not necessarily what I would call a professional designer; I would look for a graphic designer who specializes in logos. There are many good logo companies on the Internet and some are reasonably priced (starting at $150 or so) and offer a money back guarantee. PM me if you want a name or two.

Cheers, MJ < not a professional logo designer

I agree with everyone. Your logo represents you and your company to the general public. If you really must use flames there are better ways of doing it. Also you need to think about print. If this is really going to be a logo and you run an ad in a newspaper for example those flames will simply look like blobs when reduced to gray scale. It will also be a real pain to get it converted onto shirts or other mediums.

You might not want to post a request for input and advice to a bunch of professionals if you're not willing to take their advice. No one was slamming you, just giving their opinion (you did ask us remember).

Just a quick additional note, do you really think having flames in your company logo is a good idea for a driving school? It brings to mind crashing and burning. Maybe not something you would want potential clients to think about when they are looking for instructors.

If you consider it perfect, then what sort of critique were you hoping for?

You're right. You are not a logo designer. You've asked for and received sound advice from people who work with graphics day in and day out, some of whom earn a respectable living at it and have years of experience in graphic design, application and interface design, layout, printing and web development.

We've each offered you the benefit of our experience and you're free to take it or leave it. If you're in love with the current design and feel a certain sense of pride in having come up with the concept, great. You own that. Go with it. Take your concept to a professional logo designer and ask them to use it as a base for designing a few mockups.

If you didn't get the answers or assistance you were hoping for, perhaps you should seek a second opinion. Alternatively, you could just carry on with things as they are and hope for the best.

Either way, good luck.

While I don't think this is the most incredible logo ever created I don't think it's *horrible*. - I'm not a professional or anything at creating logos, but I am a digital artist, so I feel I at least have an artist's eye.

Now. The thing that bothers me the most is that you've used vector, crisp, clear colors in everything but the flames.

If you're going to use flames, I feel it would look MUCH better if the flames were vectored, or cell shaded, rather than airbrushed/Photoshop smudged. They just don't fit well with the crisp lettering. - Give it a try, I think you'll see it'd look MUCH, MUCH nicer.

<not a pro>

I think that I agree with reverend Mikey... I have a 15-year-old, and, if I had the money to pay for driving lessons, I wouldn't generally hire a school with flames in the logo. It looks racy, fast and gives the impression of recklessness.

Sorry...

Color clash. The white around the L does not go with the rest of the logo. What kind of company is this for? What products do they sell?
