So I want to decide on a logo... please tell me which one you prefer and why. Logos were designed by Scotch. I'm tied between 3 and 4, but if I had to choose probably 3. Thanks!

What market are you going for?

The reason I ask is certain styles will appeal to certain groups but not others.... the above might appeal to Clubs and Bars more than say Brides... get me?

PS.... don't put "Total" in front of "DJ Service" behind it... that's my D.B.A. and also my corporate name.... ;)

We are Total Impact DJ Service LLC officially in the State of Indiana.

My market is teens and schools, with the option of being able to do other parties too, just not weddings. I'm a teen so that's why I chose this market.

In that case I like #4 the best... it's simple and it's clean.

However, you may want to add:

IMPACT
Entertainment
Disc Jockey Service​

That way they know you are a DJ and not a clown or magician... see what I mean both are entertainers but neither are DJs.
 
I like the lettering in #1...(The one without all the spider-cracks) but I'd remove the flecks on it and keep it clean, solid and BOLD.....But I'm not a teen and haven't been one for DECADES...:sqwink:
 
Stew,
I left you my thoughts on Prodj, I hope you read them. I'm glad you also chose to ask here as well. I couldn't really say to much over there because over there, well lets just say you could put a dollar bill between some of their butt cheeks and no matter how hard you tried you couldn't pull it out.

Most of us are old and out of touch. OK, so just I am but you are targeting, for now, kids your age, school dances, all women sororities, etc. If I were you I would be asking opinions of the people (here's the pun)your logo will impact the most. Get some help from your classmates or maybe from your schools art department. Then take all that data, all the good and bad about your logo and contact Hank. Hanks an old dude here but he's still got some spunk in him. Maybe he can help.

No matter what you end up choosing for your logo just knock-em dead with your performance. That's something they will remember more so. And whatever you do, you're on the right track so keep moving forward.

And I to like #4
 
Thanks! And yes I did read it. I read all comments left on the threads. My thoughts are that I like number 4 the best, but for some people the background is distracting and may take away from the name. I feel like number 3 can easily be incorporated into tons of things like website, shirts, business cards, etc. I also think that the cracks give that "impacted" look, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for all of the help so far!

Any advice on company colors? Like colors to be used on my website, business cards, flyers? I want to keep them all the same. I guess it depends on the logo I choose too. I was thinking of blue and white, but if I choose number 3, I could use that color orange and maybe blue or something. But I don't want to go too crazy!
 
i'll stay with #1

Good job on the logo.... I'd see if someone like Hank can't clean it up for you and maybe spruce it a bit... it's good but it doesn't quite pop if you know what I mean....

It's only fair to state that this is vector format at the moment. It can be spruced up further with all the bells and whistles that photoshop and raster design can provide (if he wants). However, the more I design the more I find that people want fully scalable graphics that will work in any situation, which isn't possible with raster only (photoshop based designs). I used to work mainly with photoshop for logos, but corporate clients nearly always stated they required logos that were fully scalable and not limited in the way photoshop only designs are.

I provide vector based designs, but can spruce them up in photoshop to provide both raster based and vector based as required. ;)

Basically, what is the difference between the two and what program do you use besides photoshop?

In laymans terms....

VECTOR BASED DESIGNS (Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw etc): Fully size scalable by the end user or subsequent designers you provide the file to. The image can be increased in size without loss of quality. This is the preferred medium for graphics design companies as the file can be used for any design requirements.

RASTER BASED DESIGNS (Adobe Photoshop etc): More "effects" can be added to raster based designs, but you are limited to the size you are provided by the designer. Images can be shrunk without loss of quality, but trying to increase the size will result in pixelation of the image.

My preferred vector software is Corel Draw, but I recently purchased Adobe Illustrator so I can maximise the file-types I can offer as part of my design service.
