question: does the URL at the bottom look too long? should we differentiate the three words (delux, dry, and cleaners) to make it more readable?

#2, because it is my favorite that still works if printed in 100% opaque black ink on white paper, which may be the case sometimes.

I picked #2, I think using a hanger as a logo is better than using a suit or coat.

I don't know much about the dry cleaning business. However, I imagine that most of your clients are women. Is that true or not? If it is women, then a suit may just turn them off. Thus, I like the hanger idea better than the suit or the penis head (wtf is that in #1)? This rules out #1, #6, #7, and #8.

I think #4 is bad with the white line (offset, but nearly down the middle) of the hanger. Without that white line or if the white line was centered, then #4 would be much better.

Look at the picture to #3 with the text covered up. All I see is an odd question mark. I don't see a hanger unless I know it is a dry cleaning business. People will think you are a help desk or something with that question mark. Thus avoid #3.

#2 is better than #3, but it still suffers from the same problem. At least the hanger diameter is smaller so it looks more like a hanger. But still I just see a question mark.

That leaves #5 as the only option. I do like the text of #1 the best though. Can you combine #5's picutre with the text of #1?

What about www.DeluxDryCleaners.com? I know internet people here will hate the capital letters, but it works, I got to your same website. And it looks clean, easy to remember, and when you are thinking back at the ad you saw earlier for deluxdrycleaners.com you won't remember there were capital letters to begin with (so they'll just use the lowercase form and the world is a happy place again). Also, what about dropping the "www" part from the logo? As long as your website is done properly, they'll go to the same place. It'll keep your logo clean.

thanks, dullard. i asked some family members and logo #5 w/ the font from #1 seemed to be a popular choice.

i was thinking about the URL w/ capital letter for each word, too. color was another option, but if it were ever in black and white, it'd be difficult to read again.

My crude MS Paint version.

I'm no expert in advertising or logos or anything related, this is just all my personal opinion on asthetics.

You may also want to consider registering www.deluxcleaners.com for those people who only remember your logo name (Delux Cleaners).

already taken by a domain squatting company :( it's up for renewal at the end of the year and i'm hoping to get it. in the meantime, i registered the current one (just in case they renew it for another year or two).
