I would like a Logo that I can use on everything from letterhead, Business cards, website, on my trucks, on company shirts and for marketing mailers. Basically we need an identity. We currently use an oval with all our products vendors logos inside of it. looks nice but it's not our own!

are you saying you want the hose and pump truck as part of the logo or this is meaning something else?
I can see others taking it both ways. thanks

As an idea not a requirement, I would like to see the truck with a cement hose with a cement puddle coming out of the hose.

I am open to any and all concepts and really want a design that when we put it on our trucks will be easy to identify us like the BMW logo does for them.
BMW did it with their version of a propeller I would like to see ours with the hose with cement.

Thanks Coy!!

Poured Floors is the dominate part of the logo and I incorporated the pouring of the concrete between the words that flow to make the floor. The second part of the logo name "of New Yoirk and New Jersey" appears reveresed out in white within the concrete. I look forward to your feedback.

Hello Cincytodd,

This is a great start. I don't know how i feel about the cement in perticularly in between the words, you may want to try pouring the cement through the "F" or even taking a measuring cup pouring over the word "Floors". You may wish to try using a hose pouring cement over "floors". As for the font it's a little boxy. I've always liked amienne or times new roman.
Thanks again,
I look forward to seeing any revisions or other concepts you may have.

Thanks Dave!

I printed out your logo and added a pitcher pouring through the cement between the words and it looks cool I even added a knuckle boom crane coming off the top of the P which I connected to the pitcher. Could you try something like that.

Hello Sharie,
Thank you for both of your submissions! I'm not a fan of the city line on the back of the trucks. The trucks you've designed there have a strong resemblance to the massive pump trucks that have the crane and the pumping line as one piece. Those trucks are typically concrete pump trucks for hire used for pumping ready mix and not floor leveling specialists whom mix onsite using state of the art mobile batch mixing plants that load the materials into the top of the truck and are measured and mixed by a computer before being pumped to the floor.

As much as I would like to see a truck in there may be we would be safer doing a play on words. Show a measuring cup Pouring. Show the knuckle boom crane pouring the cup with the cement poured into the logo somehow.

Thank you for your effort!
David

We'd like it to be like a game of charades where the image tells the story of what we do.

You can use objects like measuring cup pouring, measuring ruler sticking out of the cement, Articulating crane holding the pouring measuring cup.

Dave, just to clarify, you'd like to see 2 different concepts: one with pouring into the letters "Poured Floors", and a second, with what I have now, but instead with walls, more like an actual room? is this correct? thanks!

I'm looking for something like these. If you would like to work on your original design and add walls or make it work towards the work shown on the link it would be appreciated.

Thank You Dave!
