Okay this whole being away from the family for weeks at a time thing isn't working. And since I didn't sign a noncompete agreement when I sold my company and the guys that bought basically fucked me out of the job I was supposed to have with them, which is why I'm now stuck working in but fuck nowhere in northern alberta, I'm going to restart my company in January. Problem is I need a logo for my new company and I don't have the cash right now to pay to have one made I was hoping some of you might be able to help a brother out. The new company is called "Eager Beaver Tree Care" and I was thinking it would be cool to copy the Starbucks logo except with my company name and a beaver instead of a mermaid. I don't know if anybody can help me out, and I'm leaving early in the morning to head out of town for an undisclosed amount of time so I won't be able to check back on this thread. All I can say is that "I'll be home for christmas, you can count on me" and I will find a way to return the favor. Also I'm not locked into the name so throw out some suggestions if you want.
later,
planks

Hey, I thought you weren't going to check back in on this thread.
"Eager Beaver" is a decent name for a tree service, but it would be a great name for a whorehouse.

That's one mean-looking beaver.

no, but thats not what you said you were going to do. if you do what you said at first which is Originally Posted by two_planks
copy the Starbucks logo except with my company name and a beaver instead of a mermaid, with matching fonts and colors, and design the beaver with a similar block cut look to it, then likely starbucks lawyers will be talking to you if they find out."They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

OMG! I love xboat's design. I say go w/ it!
And yes, some pretty choice slogans ran thru my mind too. It certainly will attract some interest. I like it though.
Good luck and let me know if you need help tweaking or want to see other designs.

This has so much potential. I picture that Paris Hilton getting out of the car photo, myself.

I'm with you snowsprite, I think that design rocks. Slap that thing on the side of a truck or business card and I would remember it for sure. Originally Posted by snowsprite

FKNA!!!! xboat your the man, man. You nailed it. Now to come up with a catchy slogan that will go over well here in Utah north. That was definately nice to come home to. And thankyou sprite for the offer to help, but I must say I like it just the way it is. Maggots are the shit.
