In this design I decided to use three lines curving
upward. This denotes motion, swiftness, and the lines flowing upward
give a subtle impression that they are reaching high, striving for
excellence. This goes in agreement with the meaning of ARETAE, to strive
to higher standards, to do your best. The lines are supposed to
represent the different wires electricians often come across. The
gradient in the center of these gives the idea that a charge is running
upward through them, giving the design energy. The font, Archie Regular,
has a hint of Greek in it, especially in the way the “e’s” lean back.
The glowing light bulb over the “i” again suggest that the theme for
this logo is electricity. Many people often think of light when they
think of electricity. The blue line going through gives a small hint of
greek- since blue represents them in their flag. The white background
would blend in perfectly with the white work van.
This design is the same as above with some minor
differences. First, the background is black. This really brings out the
colors more and makes them more vibrant and attractive. The glow around
the light bulb is much easier to see over a dark background.
The same as above. The only difference here is the lens
flare over the “i”. Once again, this is something that people can relate
electricity to. The light bulb did not fit this font at all. The lens
flare has a more impressive effect here. It has a more realistic look.
And people are often quite impressed with realism. Again it appears much
better over a dark background as opposed to a light one.
This design is the same as those above, but again we are
exploring some differences. The only difference here is the font. This
font, A770-Roman-Regular, has a more refined and suave feel to it. It
still has a Greek appearance. It looks more professional and, being a
script, has a warm and approachable look to it.
This design plays on the idea of power cords to denote
working in electricity. The power plug is cleverly used as a substitute
for the letter “A” in the company name. The cord then flows around and
underlines the name very nicely, as it fades off. The font goes
perfectly with the design. It has the idea that a cord is spelling out
the company name. This idea seems more down to earth, something that
people would not be intimidated by.
