feedback on new logo?
- Thread starter quebert

Ok good people of Autopia, I yet again am looking for some feedback on an update. I just spent like 2 hours figuring out how to do something that would take a designer probably 45 seconds to do lol. I`ll spend another 2 hours working mindlessly so I thought before that happens I`d post what I did and maybe get some feedback. I spent half of tonight trying to figure out how to add sun rays or something, well no way Jose on that. But I did a sun`ish looking thing. I mean what`s more radiant than the sun right? Well, except it might not look good here lol. I thought about wasting the rest of my night trying to make the sun look better, but maybe it`s not even a good idea (like most of mine) and I should scrap it and figure out how to hell to incorporate sun rays or star bursts or something that says bright light. If like a few people here like the sun idea, or don`t think it`s horrible I can waste away my Saturday trying to make it look better. Since it`ll be embroidered on shirts, I can`t have a lot of colors or much detail. I`d like my logo to be more simplistic anywho. And don`t mind the color of the text it might not be red in the final.
& even if you hate it and tell me you hate it, thank you in advance. All feedback`s welcome.

In general, I like the typeface and the style where it says "auto detailing," to me it evokes a college font or sports pennant or something, which is a happy emotion, so yes well done. The sun in the background will make this logo something you can recognize from a distance, which is good.
The alignment of the "auto detailing" letters is, I think, trying to follow the contour of what it`s written on, but IDK it looks funny to me. "Auto Detailing" is the most important message here and I hope those letters aren`t too small for embroidered shirts, hats, etc.
I googled it and there`s an active "Radiant Auto Detailing" in Tuscon and an old Facebook page of another somewhere in Southern California. Suggest you make sure you can use the name.
Once you`ve doctored up your logo the way you like it, consider sending your work back to a pro to get them to make a clean version.
Good luck to you!!

I like it but... I think that the sun doesn’t really exude radiance. Needs to be more of a sparkle (I can see it in my head) than a sun.

Pay Attention Boy...
I like the last one far better than any with the spray bottle.

Kinda reminds me of an old baseball team logo.
Props for recognizing the overuse of the car outline logos. Logos end up being so much more work than you originally think. You want to stand out, while simultaneously keeping it simple and uncluttered. The more you think about it the harder it gets.
Personally I just had some ideas on my head, then just grabbed a paper/pencil and started sketching a (VERY) rough picture. Talked with my sister who is really creative and familiar with illustrator and we came out with what I have now. You don`t have to be an artist to just rough sketch something with a pencil. May be worth a little of your time if you`ve got a bunch of ideas in your head. A lot easier than messing around with programs you`re unfamiliar with

I think you should go with this one and buy the domain name if you haven`t already.
Also, stop thinking everything you say or do is wrong. Fake it till you make it then thank God.
Good feedback, I don`t need to even Google to know there`s a Radiant Detailing already out there. There`s not one in my area. When I set up my factitious business name I should be able to use Radiant Detailing without an issue. I mean if there`s a mobile detailer in AZ or NY or some far away state I`m not in any way competition for them. But I suppose the legality is they could go after me. That`s definitely a point I should probably talk to a professional about. The Logo still needs a lot of work, what you said was very descriptive and helped thank you.
Well, I don`t disagree, I can see the perfect logo in my head, the problem is I can`t sit down and create it, and apparently I can`t verbalize it to a designer well enough. I suspect another 3-4 revisions done myself I can have it to a point where I can contact a legit designer, not be cheap and pony up to have them make it pop. There`s a YT guy who makes videos where he fixes peoples logos on the fly, it`s pretty remarkable what a difference someone who`s a pro can make.
Yes lol, the spray bottle seemed like an interesting idea in my head, but it definitely didn`t work out. It was the one element that I don`t think a single person liked. While it`s impossible for me to use every piece of advice I get. If 20 people in a row hate it, yeah it`s gotta go. Thankfully, I didn`t like it too much when I 1st saw it, so I think I would have been smart enough to ditch it. I love all the help I`m getting on here.
Yup, I`m definitely overthinking it. The domain`s taken *of course* and Instagram`s taken *of course* Godaddy recommends against domains with dashes, and people struggle with anything that`s not .COM. Doesn`t matter much as I checked and Radiant-Detailing.com`s taken too. After a few tweaks to the logo I pass it to a pro and pay to have it finished. Then talk to a professional about my name and what I need to do t. I don`t want to rush into this, but I also shouldn`t spent days and weeks obsessing over small things that in the end won`t matter. But the one thing I do no, I don`t want ketchup and mustard logo`ed shirts! Was walking thru the mall the other day and saw a DHL guy and all I could think of was how ugly their outfits are lol.

Okay one last time, thank you to everyone who`s replied and gave me ideas here, much much appreciated! There`s nothing more I can do with my own design skills at this point. So I`m going to pass the logo onto a real designer and have them finish it. Any last comments on the white/sun logo I posted would be nice so I could have a last bit of stuff to pass along to the guy who`ll be making it look good. I`ll post whatever they do for me.

quebert- Eh, IMO people seldom really *overthink* things, although they can sue spin their wheels without actually thinking! You`re thinking 
Heh heh, I sympathize with what you`re after with the "more radiant rays of sunlight"! My thoughts veer towards "the Rising Sun flag" and that`d be a no-no!
