$75 design of Logo and Business Card

**John70** · 06-19-2009, 09:22 AM

I'm starting a business call Stop Wasting Money Pty Ltd (though Ill be marketing as SWM Consulting). Looking to market to business predominantlydirectly to business so I am thinking this will be relatively conservative.

I would like the logo to be reversible and have a white on black (or other dark colour) version - as well as a version that works on a white background.

I am considering using these templates:

Business card should be two sided.

I look forward to checking out your designs. Please don''t hesitate to ask any questions.

Any particular colors you are more gravitated towards?

Edit: Is this good? Anything that doesn't particularly look good and you'd like to be changed? I tried my best to make it clean and conservative!

It seems like you need the design quick since the closing date is only about two days. I will try to come with with something for you soon but a little busy =)

Here it is again with a reflection, which do you prefer? This helps give it a more modern look.

Thanks guys for your early efforts....

General Comments - I want to avoid the Dollars Sign if possible - I just find it a little predictable.

SWM Consulting is the offering low cost marketing services - they might help in determining a symbol that is not a $ sign

Madman - Happy with your colour scheme and like the mirroring. Not sure about the font and see my comments on the dollars sign.

Hylith - Yes I am hoping to get something quickly - though I will extend if need be. Happy to work with someone who is close to what I like if need be beyond the date - or to extend

CreateNovations - Like the font and the colors - not really keen on the dollars symbol - can you do something around SWM Consulting

Sorry for using the dollar sign, but when I heard marketing it just popped into my head, heh. What about this new one?
Representing the prospect company's success in utilizing your services.

Edit: Updated with a slight gradient on the incline line graph.

Still not sure about the font - but where you are headed with the symbol is a better direction..

**Madman340** · 06-19-2009, 03:42 PM

How is this for the font? Also, you don't seem very happy about the overall style, what kind of style are you looking for?

**John70** · 06-19-2009, 03:49 PM

Definitely better Madman - I thing that consulting leads itself to a more conservative look... How about balancing the SWM and Consulting. Making the Consulting less significant.. and focusing on the SWM...

**Madman340** · 06-19-2009, 04:00 PM

Here is one with different fonts for SWM, which do you like best from the top to the bottom?

Working on something.

**JayGun** · 06-20-2009, 03:40 PM

Here is my submission. Tried to keep it somewhat minimalistic and conservative.

Some great options here!!!

Thanks to everyone who has shown how it looks on the web template.
Il Devo - for me your are the clubhouse leader - I really love the design feel. Might be interested in seeing it with some different colour options...

Create Novations -Not sure about the second version

BAS - not the colours I was imagining - but I actually quite like it.

Madman - I think some of the more recent versions are preferred to your direction.

Jaygun - Considering one of your options.

Thanks Guys.. fantastic work.

What color scheme are you looking for?

**John70** · 06-21-2009, 04:22 AM

Il Devo _ i just wanted to see what if looked like in different schemes. I think I liked the original more than the new ones.
