Logo Design - Starting in B/W

[neato]

Well, I have been working on this logo off and on the last week, but in color. I decided after Joe's post to scrap the color and go to just B/W.

I might just stick to one color on this, since I'm going for an old-school feel.

I'm digging it, first and second are doing it for me the most though. (bow chicka bow wow) I would probably go 2 color with it, I can totally see a dark blue and khaki scheme for it.

I really like #1 caught my eye and made it stick. Reminded me instantly of the signs Frank buys on American Pickers.

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

All 3 are great versions, to me would just depend on how a logo would be used and contrast needed.

I personally like all 3, but #1 REALLY does it for me ...

Bottom one pops most

To me the last one would be more versatile for other applications. Even though it would still have to be tweaked a little bit, it would work the best for something like embroidery. The first two would be harder to make it work and look clean.

Sorry, but every time I look at designs, what will work for embroidery just always pops into my mind and slants me one way or the other. Too old now to change it.

The next one would be the 2nd one.

I like #1.
I kind of like #2 except the shadow is a bit too dark and distracts.

 

[Gino]

I too, like the bottom one. The dots make it too Pillsbury-ie for me.

For 'signs', try a sans serif and see if that works ??

Bottom one.
You don't need no steenkin' underscore on Neato tho.
Love....Jill

 

[neato]

Jill, you're brilliant!

The exclamation point at the end of Neato looks like a stylized "S". I would suggest making it look more like a true exclamation point.
Other than that they look great.

Still thinking #3.

 

[Jillbeans]

Thanks!
I'd agree with Vinylman about the !, try making it echo the first leg of the N but flipped.
