Opinion on business name!

[walker-talker]

Do you like "Affordable Lawn Service" or "Progressive Turf Management & Landscapes". I don't have a logo for my new one.

I like Progressive better . Affordable doesnt give a really good image. I dont like the progressive logo----seemd hard to read.

[bubble boy]

i think the word progressive would be an easier read if the R started out larger than it is (but obviously still smaller than the P.

so that there is less of a increase in letter size up to the E

and maybe if the E was the same size as the P, would balance better.

just a thought :angel:

Remember, people care about what neighbors think about them!

If they see a truck labeled "affordable". they will think that they are cheap.

If they see a truck labeled "Progressive", they will think they are better off than they really are!

Its a no-brainer. Progressive is a classy name.

Good luck.

I think Progressive is a better choice also, and as with the others that have posted I think the logo needs improvement.

Just my opinion but, if your trying to use the name progressive getting bigger like that, starting out with the "P" being large and then the next letter smaller seems to defeat the purpose. Maybe other people wouldn't perceive it like I do, but to me that concept would need to have the "P" being the smallest letter..

I would stay away from Affordable sounds cheap and not too professional. I like progressive.

Thanks for the honest opinions. I have been using Affordable for the last 3 years and kind of thought that it sounded a little cheap and less professional. I will work on the logo. I just thought the progressive gettitng progressively larger was a neat idea.

thanks again

Not necessarily. There is usually an A-1, an AAA, etc, etc for the same reason. How many customers you know pick the first name out of the phone book when looking for any type of contractor. (If they do, I wouldnt want them anyway.)


Why dont you have "Progressive" all the same size (as the P), "Turf and Landscapes" underneath, and a picture of a tree(cartoon tree) on top of "Progressive" in 3 different stages of growth. This to me symbolizes growth, etc in the positive direction. It is my belief to make your business name as plain and simple to read as possible. Dont do anything "tricky" with the letters.

I am gonna steal your name, just like someone did with mine.:angry:

Just kidding.

[Fine Lines Lawn]

"Progressive" gets my vote.

[Guido]

on this one. I'd use Progressive, but the logo needs some work. Pretty much the same ideas as already stated here, so I won't bother to repeat them.

It may be worth having someone design your logo proffessionally. You only have to do it once, and then you can have one good one to use on everything for the rest of your business life.

Just some ideas!

Big Jim,

I want to change my name to something that sounds a little more professional. This is my 3rd year as a part-timer and will want to go to full-time soon. If I am going to change my name, now is the time. I am in the phonebook already under Affordable (Well, it comes out inext month and it's too late to change anything with that).As Guido stated, I want something that will work for the rest of my business life. I am open to all idea about the logo. I never cared for the grass that surrounds the logo. I like the idea of the grass, just not the grass graphics that I choose. I will keep working on it....Thanks

MATT
