What to do for a logo?

[12348910]

My mom have this thing that can make stickers or print stuff onto shirts/sweatshirts. What should I do for a logo? I want something like this but I want a cool name on it (like my “business” name) by the way I’m only 14

Are you trying to look professional or just want to get noticed? You are making a common mistake when trying to get noticed. What do you think the people you want be hired by, like about you when your logo looks like the one you posted? Do they say “This looks like a respectable young man or what kind of job is this kid going to do?” My recommendation is to keep the name simple and easy to remember. Worry about the logo down the road, after people are pleased with your work.

I want to look professional but not super professional. That is a good idea to try something else because that logo might not be the best.

Hmmm, a lot is totally dependent on "What" your business is ??? If you're doing Lawn Mowing, I don't want anyone just hot-rodding up and down my yard as fast as they can leaving it looking like a dirt-track.

I understand what you’re saying, but I want something that stands out and isn’t supper basic. I guess I should get more customers first

Business cards are nice so your can have your number available but your best advertising is word of mouth as if you do good work they will refer you to their friends.

In order from top to bottom, I came up with front corner of shirt, back middle of shirt, back of business card, front of business card. I covered my phone number for privacy. I chose Tractor Boy (TB) as my name because I couldn’t think of anything else and because at school my teacher and friends call me that since I always work on ridding lawn mowers (tractors) at home and school

In partnership with a friend we set up a courier service that ran for 25 years & at it's height was turning over $ 8,000,000 / year.
No uniforms , no logo, no business cards , no vehicle signs.
All word of mouth
Dress neat , wear plain cloths ( no company branding ) , do a good job , under promise & over deliver
Worry about a logo when you have customers & a van

Boy saying you have years of experience when you said you was only 14 yrs old is wrong; unless, you started out in your diapers.

Matter of fact I got a company in area that the original owner started 25 yrs that just recently purchased by a new owner that trying the same thing with new techs that can't even find a blown gasket. Instead they told the customer he needed a new $4000 when it was only $300 job. Now the customer is no longer using them but instead using my shop as I do good, standby my workmanship, and tell the truth when asked. Also there was another company that was recently that tried the same thing they made two years and when I was by their place last week everything was gone. Just a place up for sale.

Heck in general I have professionally work on equipment since '79. I was training since I was in the second grade but as lawn care equipment repair mechanic I have only been doing it professionally since 2009. And everyday I learn something new as I am getting something I have never worked on and must learn new things.
