My logo- it needs an enema

[mark in tx]

So this is what it has been for the past 6 years.
It's not really a logo, and 3 different fonts is getting on my nerves as well.

I'm just kind of stuck with what to do to change things, I'm going to be needing to print new promotional materials, cards, brochures, etc... in the next few weeks and I guess I'm just not finding any inspiration.
I really think it is time for a change, but I honestly can't elaborate what I don't like, why I want to change it, or how I want to change it.
I've tried the trick of pretending this is just another project from a customer, but I guess it's just too close to the heart.

So, any suggestions?

Bend over....
I like the Quick.
But man that reads weird.
Quick of Texas Signs.
Colors are kind of iffy.
And even though I like that script, and have used it, it's not what I think of when it comes to Texas.
Try typing out both words in the script and adding OF TEXAS in the banner beneath it.
Love.....Jill

Thanks Jill!

Maybe a slight slant on the name. Defineately keep the of Texas after the name. will make for less cofusion.

I'm no expert, but I was thinking, if you left justified "quick" and "signs" on the orange bar, and moved "of texas" to the right with a texas type of symbol behind it - the state outline, or the state flag, or a star , you know....
And yeah, freshen up the font choices. Maybe try 2 instead of 3.
Just throwin' ideas out there...

You have no rhythm or direction whatsoever, so I'd look into what you want to say.... who you want to appeal to and start in that direction.

looks like it already had an enema

??

Too much space. It has no flow. Try making it more uniform and stick to 1 font.. 2 max.

Here's what I was talking about...

Busy today, so I don't have time to really make it purty... but I kinda thought of something like this.

Try a font that gives a sense of motion. Improve flow and of Texas doesn't have to that distinguished. Here is a thought that hit me when I looked at things. The colors need work to but here it is in your colors.

"hold that bag of warm water higher"

the enema man

[Jillbeans]

Something like this maybe?
I usually wouldn't use two fancy fonts in the same layout tho.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone.

6 years ago I would have named it different to start with, "quick" implies cheap to me.

I have been looking over Dan Antonellis' website, and Deaton Designs quite a bit for inspiration.

Trying not to copy them is difficult.
