I have been so impressed by the artist here and thought you guys could give me some suggestions on what graphic design for our vending business to put on the side of our work van. I thought maybe something along the lines as Ice Cubes sort of what you see on a carton of Pepsi. The name of our company is Sandy's Soda Service.
Here's my van/truck;

i'd be more than happy to create something for ya (i've actually been strongly considering starting my own graphic design business lately, so this would be good experience for me). but, if you don't mind, i'll wait a day or two before i post something up; i've been kind of 'hogging' this kind of work for a while so if someone else would like to come up with some designs, go ahead

but, i'll work on a design or two, and if no one else posts anything, i'll post up mine.

***question, though: do you have any other business logos already?

Xeno I don't think you hog this forum. I think you are very talented and most helpful. You did do my car sig for me, which I use and like very much!

This is the Pepsi logo I was talking about. I do like the blue with the ice cubes;



These are some that I did and use as business cards. I use a Wacom pen that you can draw free hand;

well, it's been a couple of days, so here are a couple of designs i'm working with. the only thing bad about using that particular pepsi 'style' is the possible copyright infringement , but i'm trying to change it enough to look different... hopefully

here's my first idea:




and the pepsi style (so far):

I do like the first one but with the umbrella in front of the Palm looks kind of busy. Maybe the Palm should be smaller to look like it's further away or reposition it?
Great ideas though!

^^ i can definitely rearrange it. since i've scanned it in, it'll be super easy to rearrange and resize things however you want

cool well, if you like it as is (and you'd want to use it ), i can send you the larger pics and the photoshop file. or if there are still some things you would like different (like the font, or some of the colors, etc), i can still make changes. just let me know and i'll make it so
