HELP........all you marketing experts

[XFactor]

I need to create a tag line for my company. I just developed a logo and would like to have a tag line to go with it. The most popular tag line in the industry is "We meet the nicest people by accident". We've been in business for 10 years with no logo and no tag line. It's time to step up and out of the dark ages. HELP!!
Here's the logo. What do you think?

I think you need a new logo.

[mbrown2]

I think you could spice up the logo a bit....send a PM to H2OSKIFast..
"Your Dent is our Problem"
"Making the world a better place, one dent at a time"
"Your Car needs a Make Over"
"The Auto Swan"
I will think of more....

That is the new logo. :cry: That's ok! My wife doesn't like it either. I think it fits our industry very well. It definetly needs to be cleaned up a bit.

It needs to be blinged out LOL.. it looks way too plain.. plain is good sometimes...but it just doesn't look right.

On the logo...I had a thought:
car across the top of the company name....dented up and such....morphed downward into company name and at the bottom of company name same car shiny and new....at least 4-5 colors so it comes across very clear...kind of a transformational thing...

Hey by the way Glenn we're coming down next weekend

You're all probably right on the logo. It does need some work. This is the deal. I have a 16x8 sign that can be seen from the 110 FWY. If the sign is to complicated (to much stuff) it will never stick in anybodys mind. I think simple is good in this case. I will also have a small reference sign at 2 dealerships that we're affiliated with. I want brand recognition making it very easy for a customer to identify the shop when they leave the dealership and head to the shop.

I think you guys just pee'd in his cherrios, so to speak. Rained on his parade? ...one of those. I thought the logo was alright. A good tag would help.

Nope... just being honest.. we are all friends here... you'll be surprised how much a cool logo can do for your business sometimes.

what if you outline the car body in red??

I tried that. It looks goofy. It looked good outlined in blue with a silver center, but 3 color is way more expensive for print on signs, letterhead, envelopes, ect, ect....
Sorry. I'm cheap!!

[sleekcraft137]

HEY ME TOO!!!! :rollside:

[Water Romper]

Actually, I don’t thinks its that bad… :)
What you should REALLY do is market you’re “marketing”…..meaning, take all input from the posts, narrow it down to say 3, post those three and whichever one gets the most votes wins and your new tagline AND you give the winner (the person who gave you the idea) recognition in the forum and a gift cert. for $50.00 at a major chain restaurant. :rollside:

A few more
We'll save you the cash to fix it after the crash
This one is direct marketing to the guys concerned about their image
You can't hump her if you have a dented bumper!
Crashed last night? Give us a chance to fix it right.
OK, now I'm stretching.........
