Cool Logo, I saw today…
I bet the owner of that logo has it tattooed some where.
I think I’d have to print that logo out and put it in cd jewel cases instead of business cards.
Micah, that is a brilliant strategy! Seriously.
That guys should pass out little mini-discs with company pics, a video, and printable offers on it.
Too bad he’s not a member here, he should try that, for real.
Dude, seriously. I may be buying your book. That is some great thinking.
p.s. I think the logo sucks and to try and suck off another business is unethical (the business being AC/DC)
I think thats Chad’s new logo…
That kind of thing could be risky. I for one [U]HATE[/U] AC/DC and would definitely not call that company for fear that some creepy tattooed guys with long hair and piercings would show up. Bad impression.
True.
OR it could create a favorable impression for the right kind of demographic.
Kind of like using a tool like this:
Great for the right kind of person, but worthless, or even damaging, for the wrong kind.
And even with the crazy name, if you played it super professional for everything else, and played up the name only as the gimmick, it would work even better.
What will grandma think? Actually, pretty cool logo, except they needed to find a band that crosses all demographics…Queen??? They could be called CLEAN.
I’m here now, thanks Don
Yeah I know the logo is going to get mixed responses. Some will love it, some will hate it. I’m not trying to build brand recognition with it though. It’s just a fun logo to use for now… I needed something quick that I could roll out with my new residential housekeeping and commercial janitorial services. I will likely have a new logo created eventually but for now, this is the one I’ll use.
I’m not “ripping off” the band, it’s more of a tribute to them. Not everyone likes them but everyone knows them and I don’t think they’re associated with tattooed scum bags at all. Though you don’t have to be a scumbag to have tattoos, I know several doctors and lawyers with full tattoo “sleeves” so it’s not fair to stereotype.
As for the trademark issue, I’ve been talking with some of the people associated with the logo, even the guy who created it in '76, and I have not had any complaints about my use of it yet.
nice video kevin…ive done a couple myself on animoto too, pretty cool.
Everybody defines “scumbag” different. The image of AC/DC is not the one I personally want to project to my clients. Do what you want but I wouldn’t associate my self with this
I’m not trying to pick a fight about it, just expressing my opinion…
Damn, I miss Bon.
He would have been 63 this July.
As a footnote Chad didnt ask to post his logo up for review… I saw it on Face book and thought it was cool… so I posted it up.
Good to see you over here Chad!
Hey Chris your new avatar looks like the Mac guy. Why don’t you dress up some geek in a suit and call him S o r b o. Then do the “Hi I’m a Slayer… and I’m a S.O.R.B.O…” Routine?
everything is up for review on a forum Chris
I bet if everyone loved it we don’t have the conversation…
Tribute?
no, it is a rip off and likely close enough to the original logo to be illegal. You should find out.
Oh I know… I was just throughing it out there…
I believe 10% is the law on infringement.
But what do I know… I’m just some guy that likes to play with [I]sc[/I]rubbers on poles.
[SIZE=“1”][I]I get edited alot… I thought I would help Chris out by editing my self on that one.[/I][/SIZE]
