While I'm good with metal...my ol' drawing skills really fell short! LOL My cousin and myself have been building cars and such for years. Always helping everyone and their cousin! We love fabricating this and that for the local hot rod guys. We've built many frames for some local T-bucket guys, as well as all the custom cars we've owned ourselves. While what we do is truly for the love of the hobby, we would like to "expand" a tad especially since we just acquired a nice building in a commercial location for dirt cheap! We are both not getting any younger and being in our 40's now, well..now's the time to have that little side business we always talked about! I've attached a PAINT SHOP el'crappo design idea we came up with and want to elaborate onto it a little more....that's where help is needed!! LOL Two "F's" in a V pattern back to back with a FOX head design in between them. It also kinda reminds me of the Chevrolet victory flag design. We are called FOX FABRICATION or FOX FAB..Either one works!! FOX FABRICATION has been the name we've been using for years. Never had a logo or anything like that but feel it's time to move into that stage (as well as website showing my work and acomplishments). See what you guys can come up with!! prefer something that looks a bit vintage in design. your time will be much appreciated!! Thanks!
Asking for someone to design you logo for free? Wow. I'd say go to the Friday art show threads and find someone's art you like and pay them to do a logo. There are so many talented HAMBers that it'll be a hard decision which one to contact. But it's much better than asking for someone to do it for free.
Oh I definetly agree with both the above. Just thought someone might be a little bored and enjoy doing this as a hobby like I've done with others in our hobby. I would be more than willing to pay the right person. If anyone has any personal experience suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
You're not out of line to ask. I'm a professional illustrator and do tons of pro bono work. If you can wait a week or so I'll help Ya out but I bet some other kind soul will help out before I get a chance. In the mean time you can see my work at the link below.......................
never hurts to brain storm in the think tank ............. just dont let the critics sting ya too bad lol ........ my brain jumps to the speed shop logos with the block lettering like the old a/gas style on the line of choice 2 with more info lettered on below , phone number / est. etc , phone with letters and digits like the old "we7- xxxx" my .02 c for what there worth , good luck
Ahhh nothing stings me too bad!!!! I can sting right back if need be!! LOL Definetly like the suggestion of the ol' speed shop style block lettering as well!!! Just to throw something else out there...we have also had a thought of using a phrase we constanly use all the time when we see something we both think is cool, awesome..ect... while I can't really use the swear words in the name we have had a term that was along the lines of " F**K'en A!"....in turn we always just used the letters FNA (say it a couple times you'll get it! LOL)...so that is definetly a viable option as well!! I actually kinda like the FNA better than my original post suggestion now that I see it! Whomever comes thru will help on this (ArtGeco or others), I'll find someway to return the favor. I always do!
