Logo Design Brief
I am an Arborist offering tree pruning and tree removal services. The name is 'Tree Hands'.
I am really looking for a clever logo concept.
Logo should hopefully remind observers of the name TreeHands, should be able to be seen and identified from a distance, and be reassuring to customer that service will deliver careful treatment of trees, careful of customer property, and be trustworthy and capable.
Should no clever designs be found, possibly resort to using just a tree with text 'Tree Hands'. Have supplied tree concept for typical colors, however don't be restricted by this suggestion.
Target Market(s)
Target market is people seeing logo on the side of a cherry picker truck, and remind those people of the name. Target market will want to be reassured of care for trees. If the logo makes it easy to remember the name 'Tree Hands' and looks professional, then you are designing in correct direction. The target market is 35-70 year olds. Use Cartoonish designs with care as often they end up looking like they are for school children.
