Pontiac will soon be home to another museum. I'm very excited about this one. Here is the logo we did for it: Posted by Michael Clark (Member # 2268) on :
Excellent work there Joe!!! This would definitely look great as a dimensional piece.

Joe - nice design/illustration. The brass indian head really looks dimensional and solid - great comp.

What kind of sucks is it doesn't look like they are going to use it.
Here is their logo: Posted by Dan Sawatzky (Member # 88) on :
Nice design Joe. You can't win them all.

I really like the first one better Joe...Ya it does suck.
Posted by Nikki Goral (Member # 7844) on :
Hat to ask, but did they pay for your work?
Posted by Joseph Diaz (Member # 5913) on :
This was kind of an unusual case.
The museum is new. The logo was kind of an olive branch to the owner. Being involved with these museums seems to pay of for us in more ways then one, so we took the initiative, when we normally let the client come to us. We took a gamble and lost... on the logo that is. I have a feeling we have just lost this battle but will win the war.
In fact, we have already gotten other work from them, including restoring a big huge Chief Pontiac statue. Who knows, maybe that olive branch worked after all.
At this point in time it doesn't sound like they want to use the design, But things change, we have a way of growing on people, and I'm not done trying to convince them that this design might work out better then their homemade one.
We'll see.

It is amazing how people can be blind to beautiful work. I would have been thrilled if I was them!
Posted by Deb Fowler (Member # 1039) on :
Very classy, Joe.
I bet there are other museums in the country that would kill for a design like that, Deb
Posted by Glenn Taylor (Member # 162) on :
That sucks, Joe. Your design is far superior.
Posted by Catharine C. Kennedy (Member # 4459) on :
Sweet! Will you do it up in 3D as a shop sample???
Posted by Tom & Kathy Durham (Member # 776) on :
Some people....Love your design
Posted by Dan Beach (Member # 9850) on :
Your design wasn't awkward enough, obviously.
There is little comparison as to which one is more appealing. Nice work.
Posted by Michael Clark (Member # 2268) on :
It really doesn't surprise me at all. I see it all the time when a prospective client has no clue to good design. They are hell bent and blinded to what is really good for them and no one can persuade them otherwise. By the way Joe, your design is killer and I would of been proud to have that hanging in front of my museum.
Posted by Dale Manor (Member # 4858) on :
I too like your design much better Joe....I can see it as an easy to read sign that I would notice driving by and it would beg me to stop.
The other logo is difficult to read, does not speak automotive to me and I would most likely drive by it without much thought.
It's too bad that more people do not understand the importance of picking the appropriate look for the type of application a logo/sign will be used for!

I like your style. Grease those wheels, Clan Diaz. Patience will win your rewards.
