Door logo/business's that are clever or...

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Bondoboy, Aug 19, 2006.

  1. Local automotive reconditioners in town has the logo "Best damn Headjobs in town". The local brothel is 2 doors down the street from them.
     
  2. My uncle used to run a residential garbage service in North Canton, Ohio and he loved to mess with people. He used to give out t-shirts that said "It may be garbage to you, but it's bread and butter to me!"

    There was an industrial fastener company nearby in Akron or Canton that used to give away ball caps that said "Big Studs With Heavy Nuts" and a picture of a huge bolt & nut on them.

    Down here near the outer banks of North Carolina, there are a few seafood restaurants that use the usual "I got crabs at Dirty ____'s" etc. A little "over the line" in my humble opinion.

    I have decided that I'm going to use the "alphabetic" prefix for my phony phone number though! My parent's number as I was growing up was "TUxedo 2-XXXX" which translated as "882-XXXX". (Anyone remember the catchy jingles on the radio that used the alphabetic phone exchanges in their little advertising slogan / song? If you grew up in Pittsburgh, you SHOULD remember "HAzel 1-7866" for Joe Ziskin's home improvement.) (That's 421-7866 for you non-Pittsburghers!)

    If you want to create your own, just look at a pushbutton phone and pick 2 of the alphabetic letters that would be the first 2 numbers of your (phony?) exchange, and use a word that fits. i.e. 482-1234 could be HUdson2-1234. It'd read HU2-1234 on the door, and you could put "HUdson2-1234 on a business card or some other piece to tie it all together.

    Why does every truck have to have something painted on the door?

    Yep, there are about 10 times more "shop trucks" around here than there are shops. (G)

  6. Because mine is going to have a flatbed on it, and a vast majority of the flatbeds that I see in old movies, magazines and old photos WERE someone's company truck... WITH a logo on the door. (And to be honest, I really don't LIKE flatbeds, but this thing has some cool patina on it, and that's the way that it is staying, regardless if someone calls it a r*t r*d or "not traditional enough", or a POS...)

    Oh, and finally... because it's MINE and I can do whatever the heck that I want to with it! :D If you like it, that's really cool. If you don't... well, maybe there's something else out there for you to like.

  23. Henrietta the '38 Ford pickup is lettered as a shop truck for Drake Motor Co., our local Ford dealer from 1928-1956, phone 13, which really was their phone number up until the late 40's when they went to the 4 digit format for all the numbers.

    Knew of a guy by the last name of Hitt who was in the exterminating business, truck was painted black and lettered on the doors Hitt Man Exterminating with a cartoonish Mafia hit man character with a smoking Tommy gun and the slogan, "Put a Contract On Your Pests." On the sides of the truck bed below his business license number, it said, "We Have a License to Kill."

    Muffler shop slogan: "Our Work is Exhausting"
    Garage slogan: "We Do Open Hood Surgery"

    After working out of truck with names on the door for about 20 years, Its pretty lame to me. Unless you actually have a biz with that name.
