Steel Armadillo Logo

I liked #1 too, that is why I included it. My wife did them all with a little direction but narrowing down just one is not an easy task.

And as El Cid pointed out, none of them can be laser cut into the finished product so I still have to come up with a way to identify my products form other products.

why?


You could be more simplistic in terms of your engraving.... You can just cut or engrave 'S.A.' into them. and you can use the above designs for a vehicular decal.

my 2 cents.

I thought about SA4X or SA4X4, thoughts?

AJeepZJ: To get the laser to cut something out with such fine features would be very time-consuming and thus cost-inducing. Time is literally money on the beam, and you would have to run it very slow in order to avoid blow-out on some of those thin pieces. Costs would soar or the parts would look terrible. And even if you did manage to get them cut reasonably, all of those little nooks and crannies would begin the rust-pop of the powdercoat in very short order.

As for "SA4x" and "SA4x4": I think you'd be well-served by avoiding anything that looks "copycat" of "4xGuard." We've already seen "Saguaro 4xComponents" (S4xC) and "Asfir4x4" follow 4xG into this market. Dare to be different, I say. Besides, "SA4x" doesn't mean anything.

For whatever my advice is worth, I would highly recommend a consistency of branding across your formal logo and your product logo. The designs you have are quite clever and fancy, and they'd be good for a t-shirt or some such. I just wouldn't suggest them for the official logo.

My 2 pesos, for what its worth, is to not put any markings or the such on a visible portion of the product. That is one of my biggest problems with the 4xguard stuff. Their name or logo emblazoned on it makes me feel like I would be a mobile billboard for them. Not only am I spending a ton of money on an item but I have to look at their name every time I look at my vehicle. It goes back to that aesthetic look I like.

I would rather it be a conversation starter. "Hey man, where did you get that (insert product name here)?" "I got it at the Steel Armadillo. Here's their website, go check it out."
