Tree Service Logo Design & Branding

Written by admin on February 21, 2018. Posted in Featured Design, Logo Design.

We just completed a fun but fast turn-around logo and branding project for 901 Tree Services. Got the business cards in today and I just had to post how much we love the matte finish with the wood grain pattern. It really gives it a natural realistic feel, but was only a fraction of the cost of real wood cards… yes they do make those here: mywoodbusinesscard.com

The first draft logo concept was originally flat green, the obvious colors for a tree service right. However, another idea we had was make it look like wood. I Found the perfect wood grain pattern at PSDGraphics.com. By the way, psdgraphics.com is a great resource I found myself browsing many times.

How It’s Made

I simply made a duplicate of the vector shape I created in Adobe Illustrator and pasted it into Adobe Photoshop as a vector smart object. While in Photoshop, I made a selection from the vector smart object (on the same layer; hold {command + click}). Next I masked the wood pattern by simply copying {command + C} from the wood grain layer and {command +V} pasting to create a new layer. Last, I used a color curve to give it the burnt look.

As soon as we showed it to the client, it was an instant WIN!!! They loved it at first sight.

It was a fun project and 901 Tree Services was great to work with. There is more on this project to come.

ValveTeck Trade Show Display

ValveTeck a valve and actuator company in Memphis TN recently hired Novagiant for a large trade show display. The project involved several pieces that required a wide range of panels, kiosks, and stands sized perfectly to fit the structure. The display was a great way to draw attention and highlight their product lines. Novagiant worked closely with the client to get each panel perfect before printing, manufacturing, and assembly.

Tradeshow Draft Layout

Close-up View of The Final Tradeshow Display Design Panels

This first image is the graphic for a side panel for an outer wall. The wall was about ten feet long and 5 feet high. We used a light gradient glow behind he logo to accentuate the contrast on the blue background. Our client wanted a 3-d metallic, brushed steel look to the logo and some of the elements of the display.

The second image is one of the graphic panels used on the right side, front. The panel is about 10 feet tall.

If you have a tradeshow coming soon and need help putting something together, Novagiant can design and print pop-up displays, signs & banners, let us know we’d be glad to help!
