So What Do You Think About This New Logo?

**cmpan1** · 25 March 2020, 03:35 PM

Did some quick (at their request) mock-ups of the business cards with the new logo... http://mockupsites.xara.hosting/LOGOVER2MOCK/

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know we all have our beef's with Magix/Xara, but even with all it's ................... (whatever) it's making me a major portion of my lively hood.

Questions:

What other design program will allow for a quick design with a quick upload so a client can see their potential product immediately?

What other design program will allow for both the designer & client to be viewing the work online together and have the client say
"could you change/add/delete _________, and you do it - then instantly upload and have the client see the changes instantly?

No 'Canva', 'Adobe Spark', 'Desygner', or even 'Xara Cloud' and it's sharing... (a pain) and limited capabilities!

With Xara desktop... design / upload / send the link / view together / discuss / make the changes / DONE!...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: "Cliff, I need a price list done. Here's the info."

I knock it out in Xara, upload, send the link, we go on together, discuss, make changes, come to a final, and.... DONE!...

Very impressive.

I wonder if Monarch knows something that we don't.
I never knew the death business was in such a rush.

Here's a couple more mock-ups for this funeral home...

3-FOLD BROCHURE

IN-HOUSE WALL-RACK PULL CARD- (FRONT ONLY)

AND A SHORT PROMO VIDEO USING NEW LOGO - (EXPERIMENT)

MOCK-UPS - NOT FINALS

OK, first of all - the business cards.

I like the logo, but don't like the cards - too much small text. Older people will be reading them.

The brochures.

Not much of a fan of those, but I think that's partly a cultural thing.

"Loved one's". I am the apostrophe police. The apostrophe should not be there.

"..." on the end of headings? Yuk.

"Family Owned and Operated" - the heading has content below that has nothing to do with that fact. I know a lot of people are proud of this but in 2020 do their clients care (I understand it's important to the client)?

"Planning for the future" - smiling faces. Really?

The video.

Nice opener - that's where it should have stopped - with the logo. Presenting slabs of text for people to read kills the idea. If you want text make it longer - much, much longer and animate in sections.

Just me nitpicking as usual.

Than pauland... good nitpicking! Thanks for the grammatical stuff. I agree with all...As far as all else, these were just 'thrown together' as quick mock-ups and most likely will go through many design changes. THANKS!
