Need a new logo

wackojacko

It's incredible I get emails at work from logo design companies.

"need a new logo? Branding is essential and your logo is what customers remember - try our premium logo design service for the discounted price just £250"

£250!! I get it, a strong and memorable logo is important...but the logo designer you go for will knock it out in 30 mins. Easiest £250 of their lives. 

However, if you want my honest opinion, go for a logo and not font. Font is neither here or there these days (yesss I know the Fender and Gibson logos are fonts - and iconic) but for ecommerce you need a logo which you can replicate it across various social media platforms, invoices/paperwork websites etc...

Im not saying pay £250 for it, there are plenty of websites where you can pitch the work to someone and find a freelancer to do it
for a much cheaper price. 

if you're unable to do it yourself, it's a worthy (and long term) investment.  already got a head start in the sense you have a good rep on this forum and the wider world. (I knew of your business before joining the FB. Professional logo will take you further.

Instead of relying on a pre designed font why not sketch out some ideas? I'm adding to mine shortly in order to finally add decals to my headstock.

@Rox has been kind enough to come up with some ideas that I really like.

Sounds good mate, it'll make a big difference to your thinking as well. It'll give customers an identity with the brand. 

Looking forward to seeing the results
