Title: Anyone creative? (logo needed)
Post by: DanSN1 on 21 October 2012, 00:31
I need a logo for my company 'tiger security' but i'm not very creative and seem to  be having 'artists block' so i cannot think of anything, i'm good with photoshop but no idea where to take the logo.

Give James a call at Positive Designs in Tamworth a call. He's a good mate of mine and he owns the company. He's got all the top end kit and a design team.

Tell him his neighbour Neil, put you in touch.

i'm not sure you understood lol, i need ideas for a design not someone to actually make me one, the company's just started up and it's not worth pouring money into design if it's not running properly yet! thanks anyway

What about a tiger in a cage with some sort of big lock on it. (Tiger security) on the other hand might think your a zoo keeper

Ok perhaps a bit more of an idea then. Are offering:-

Personal protection
Close protection
Foreign escort
Alarm systems
Personal protection training
Drivers
Door supervisors
Event security

Security is a massive field and dependant on your anticipated clientele your logo really needs to reflect this. Top end clients aren't gonna go for a tiger in a cage perhaps something more subtle?

cheers for all the comments, it's alarm security, e.g cameras, dvr's and the rest of the equipment, and other stuff like fire security and emergency and security lighting

i'll attempt to draw up some basic designs tonight but keep the ideas coming thanks

Keep it simple, cos if you are successful you will be stuck with it for years.

If this is your company then it looks like you have a logo already...

If not then someone's done it first.

tiger with its head stuck between the bars of a cage or summat might look good

nope, i've seen this idk if this company is about anymore but i presume not as that is THE worst website i have ever seen, who seriously made that? free templates are infinetly better than that so no reason to even use it.

and i will bare that in mind
