Some logo Help please

[Xw00dsrac3rX]

Hey guys,

Attached is the logo I made last year for my tint business. While Im not a graphic designer, I decided to tackle the logo myself and made this one from scratch.

Unfortunately I would like to dress it up a little bit, as well as clean up the outlines and spacing.

Anyone interested in helping me out a little? I am looking to add some depth and a little glossy look to it.

I know enough illustrator to play around but am lost to go any further.

Additionally, I will be using this on black T-shirts and any info or help with making it look best for screenprinting on black shirts would be great!

It is great, leave it as is.

I would take out the phone number. Those usually don't belong in a logo.

agreed on phone number but without anything there it does not work and nothing suitable comes to mind to fill in there.

most of my ad stuff has "automotive residential commercial" underneath but obviously that will not fit in the logo

Maybe add the word Window.
Get rid of your phone number, move Black Diamond up and add window.

This would get rid of the phone number and take up some negative space. Also let the public know you do windows. Can't take anything for granted now a days.

Like others have said, remove the number.
I played with some lighting effects and a glossy look. Personally, I like it as is, with simply removing the phone number and adjusting the text placement to make better use of space. This will give you the most versatility.

Good starting point. Take it to the next level. With a few tweaks here and there and you could end up with a good logo.

I would scrap all the text.
Choose a non-italic bold font. Maybe make "tint" in an edgy script.
Keep the diamond.
Stack the three words.
Never put a phone number in a layout unless your client makes you.
Love....Jill

The phone number is so spread out it looks more like a bizarre combination to a safe or set of GPS coordinates. The rest of it is dark and depressing, notwithstanding the dubious typography mixing italics as you have done here.

Just because your name is 'Black Diamond' doesn't mean that your logo has to have it spelled out or that you have to have a dark and malevolent looking logo.

a different direction...
more legible...
with a black t-shirt approach...
