Good thought on the logo. Nobody here has that kind of logo, so I feel ok about it, but it does need some refinement.
Yes, I'm jealous of Cajun's logo too. I tried to figure out a way to have a mascot, but I'm in East Tennessee. It'd have to be a hillbilly, or a redneck, or a mountain trout! Hmm..."Hillbilly House Wash" ??
And Brandon...thanks SO MUCH for recommending the E-myth book. I'll send you a PM when I finish it, but it's been a great read.
I like the ideas of the E Tenn. hillbilly or redneck. If something is approached right it could actually work. Hell... I've been trying to figure out a way to get through to those in WV. We are so close to the state but have only cleaned one roof. I think it's like yard art to them, just another decoration!
When you get to a place to start setting up lettering on a truck/trailer keep it on some style of block letters and as simple as possible to get the point across. Some of that pretty stuff cannot be seen unless you are walking by or at a stop light. Take a look at lettered trucks and notice the fancy ones are really hard to read at any distance. I tried to get fancy once years ago and had the fortune of working with an old time sign painter who showed me the difference plane and simple with block letters.
