one more time... Opinions needed

[Hoblick]

ok, i think ive finally found a logo design i like

jsut trying to decide between these 2

first set is with the wheel in it

and the 2nd set, no wheel

so which is better with wheel or without

oh and lower case lettering or upper case

[garvinzoom]

I like the bottom one in the 1st set.

[Vulcan_Rider]

Upper case no wheel

[imprez55]

Upper case no wheel. I like the wheel, but it seems to have a parallax error in those images. Is his head resting on it, or is he biting it like the previous? Regardless, the sprocket looks more in tune with the font

I like the bottom one in the 1st set.

Same here, definitely the most visible and gets the name out there the best. With the gear it draws away from the name as the points and the size is so close to the actual wording.

I would stay with the 1st set, and then change the shading and color to whatever you prefer.

[Beemn]

I go with bottom one 1st set too.

[jblosser]

Bottom, first - as others have said it's the easiest to read the name.

If you un-vintage/un-distress the name just a wee bit more, all the better.

Someday, when your logo is as recognizable as Coke's or Nike's....

[Fonzie]

Bottom first set... But put the gear around his neck too, then arch your name around that, so you have gear & rim

[magley64]

i like the bottom first set, wheel is good, just needs moved a little somehow...

[gsxr1000bill]

3rd wheel!

[jporter12]

Bottom one in the first set, without the wheel, and with the sprocket or rotor added to it. The wheel just doesn't look quite right. Maybe put a little scowl on the dog's face, showing a few teeth, instead of the wheel? No matter what, get the dog's ears down out of the text! You need your name to be seen!

1st set first image

[Bad324]

bottom one of the first set with no wheel would be my pick

[bowdog]

I like bottom set both right ones.

[jarvismb]

I'm really a fan of the sprocket idea over the wheel, but as people have said, I like the way the text is presented in the last logo of the first set. If this jew were in charge, I'd use the sprocket design from the bottom set with the text wrapping from the last logo in the first set.

I'm liking the direction you took with the dog. Moving away from the angry faces and bulldogs is a good idea. Besides the cliche portion, the one you have now feels more like a shop dog. Just the same quiet, stoic confidence I would want in a mechanic is how I would view a good shop dog. The logo you have now portrays that very well, and it's a smart move, in my opinion.

[Meanie]

The wheel doesn't look right, and as mentioned before the ears are covering up part of you name. So my vote...

Lower case and no wheel

[Simplysix]

bottom image first set

[crb]

I like the bottom one in the 1st set.

I agree. The dogs ear covers up the "D" on the second set.

[Casper]

Sprocket. You know, you can have multiple logos...

[20thGix]

I like the 2nd set with the sprocket. The first thing that came to my mind with the wheel is that DMX started a selling rims.

[RSparky]

Also liking the once that's easier to read. But i'd say don't have anything in the dog's mouth.

[drc32-0]

I like the top one in the first set...brake roter behind the dog,dog's head resting on the rim gives the logo a more accessible tone.Less biker,more rider feel.Easy to read.

BTW,I was just looking at the definition of accessible...first definition;easy to approach,reach,enter,speak with,or use.

Seems like good criteria for a shop logo.My 2 cents.

[magley64]

Sprocket. You know, you can have multiple logos...

agree with this...

maybe something like

tire service, the dog with the wheel

mechanic service, the dog with the sprocket

custom work, maybe dog with paintbrush?

[Monstrosity]

tuff call I like both

[rollnhot]

Bottom set right side , agree the ears need trimmed. Your on the right track.
