Describe your company and organization and target audience

Small, hobby style sign shop that focuses on smaller signage like safety, informational, way finding. This type of signage pays the bills but we also like to take on projects that are smaller in size ie. boutique signs using alternative methods of sign materials (reclaimed). We like making signs that have been made for centuries like carving and sandblasting into Cedar and foam.
We're small in size and family based. We kind of known as the local sign makers for smaller stuff. We will use this logo on everything from stationary, cards, labels, clothing, vehicles, social media, etc.
I'd like something that's like my personality...playful, less serious, small townish Canada, a bit retroish.
Our target audience is everyone from merchants, trades, industry and professionals.

The design should have the following

I like retro style logo's, a little throw-back style leaning towards the masculine side. We often work as a family (husband, wife, and kids 10 yr boy, 8 yr girl), so something familyish as well. I like scripts mixed with print's and underlines. I'd like to keep it Canadian friendly as well. It would be nice to have a subtle hint of Canada somehow.

This logo will be used for

  • Online (Website, facebook etc.)
  • Print (business cards, letterheads, brochures etc.)
  • Merchandise (mugs, t-shirts etc.)
  • Signs (including shops, billboards etc.)

What style of logo would you like?

Colors to use in the design

In the past I've used blue with silver and black highlights. I lean towards my sports teams colours. I'm thinking Detroit Tigers next (navy with orange, white and black highlights).
