chng! said on Sep. 17 '08

i came here to critique and tell u how it also looked kinda like an F, that was right before i notice its James Forbes! lol sweet solution

hindmarshdesign said on Sep. 17 '08

haha. Thanks chng!

gthobbs said on Sep. 17 '08

Love it. Brilliantly simple.

Logomotive said on Sep. 17 '08

OH yeah, sweet! I'm sure this was client driven to have plumbing large but I think people need to remember his name. I would think it would look nice to have James Forbes larger than plumbing. I'm loving it. FAV!

hindmarshdesign said on Sep. 17 '08

Thanks gthobbs! really appreciate the comment.
@Logomotive: Agree completely. I'll upload the version with his name larger. YAY! So glad you like it!

nexqunyx said on Sep. 17 '08

thanks newqunyx!

hindmarshdesign said on Sep. 17 '08

Thanks Relevant! :)

Hayes Image said on Sep. 18 '08

Simple, effective...great work!!

Type08 said on Sep. 18 '08

Anivers? Crazy font... Great job!

koodoz said on Sep. 18 '08

Very cool concept Jess. My only suggestion would be to lift the plumbing up a touch and scale it so that it's the width of the name James. Atm it seems a little distant from everything.

itsgareth said on Sep. 18 '08

that's a flange, right? Nice work, colours are a little funky for a plumber though IMO.

sdijock said on Sep. 18 '08

Smart, clever, and nice. A fave.

Muamer said on Sep. 18 '08

Nice work... well done! :-)

fly2006 said on Sep. 18 '08

Very Clever. Very Nice.

dado said on Sep. 18 '08

wooow! good!

hindmarshdesign said on Sep. 18 '08

Wow! thanks for all the comments and votes guys! really appreciate it.
@type08: Yep font is Anivers
@Koodoz: Great suggestion, I'll be trying that for sure.
@itsgareth: Who says plumbers can't be funky too? ;) i know what you meant though. I'm not sure its a flange as such, I'm not up with the lingo, but its certainly representative of pipes and joins!

logomotive said on Sep. 18 '08

Actually I really liked the colors and yes that is a flange, where the pipes meet and gives the logo a solid industrial feel. Plumbers use a lot of copper and copper turns exactly this color (Statue of Liberty). I think the color is perfect for that reason.

cerise said on Sep. 18 '08

Missed this one. Very nice Jess

hindmarshdesign said on Sep. 18 '08

@logomotive: Glad the colour has relevance and that you pointed that out! Wish I could say i'd intentionally done it.
@cerise: Thanks!

jenlogo said on Oct. 20 '08

42 floats and counting. I think this is gallery material. Beautiful work Jess :)

logoholik said on Oct. 21 '08

Thanks Bojan..i have no idea what you mean but thanks!

sandhya said on Oct. 21 '08

joaoparenti said on Oct. 29 '08

Very nice logo!, ; my name starts with a "J" and sometimes i like to work with this letter... con say that is smart solution with "J";.."j" as pipes for a plumbing...genial!

hindmarshdesign said on Oct. 29 '08

Very creative solution and instantly recognizable for a plumbing company. Simple, yet should stick in the head of any potential customers. Very well done!

bee said on Dec. 12 '08

I really like the colors in this one!

Tixotropp said on Dec. 15 '08

My thoughts went to the Macromedia FlashMX logo when i saw it. It's nice tho

indiview said on Dec. 15 '08

it does evoke 'flash' a little bit, not that its an issue at all

hindmarshdesign said on Dec. 15 '08

Thanks bee!
Tixo: I hadn't noticed that but now that you mention it i know what you mean.
Thanks Jesse, I agree! :)

hindmarshdesign said on Mar. 08 '09

Thanks Adam. :)

hindmarshdesign said on Mar. 08 '09

Meh, I think this is different enough from the flash logo. Isn't it?

NeilMcDonald said on Mar. 08 '09

Hey, finally made it FP! Big up Jess! :)

renalicious said on Mar. 08 '09

dikkers said on Mar. 08 '09

Thanks lecart & cseven!

dwit said on May. 16 '09

this is just perfect. At first glance, it looks like an "S" but that just makes you want to look at it more and realize that it's more than that! Cheers! :D

hanuman shakti said on Apr. 22 '10

logopunk said on May. 09 '10

How have I missed this one? Really intelligent design, love it.

rudy hurtado said on Jun. 06 '10

I just came across this as the logo of the day in this site, the elements (top bottom pipes) are the same, just placed a bit different.
http://logorium.com/node/525 :(

milou said on Jun. 06 '10

Damn... :/
I remember this site from somwhere...

WhiteRoses said on Jul. 04 '10

:( That's a shameless rip. Terrible... But this version is brilliant, have never seen this many floats for any work before! And I'll add a float myself...

singapore caterers said on Aug. 13 '10

The design is so simple but is very striking. Good work with this logo. Kudos!

james ewin designs said on Aug. 29 '10

Amazing concept, brilliantly executed. Love it's simplicity.

hindmarshdesign said on Sep. 13 '10

Hmmm...It's a pity the guy doesn't think he's copied it. I'd check his other logos people.

mcdseven said on Oct. 13 '10

cant believe I never floated this. One more for the mix, only 12 short of 200.

logomotive said on Nov. 01 '10

^ yeah Puff on that Pipe!

elleithy said on Nov. 08 '10

AMAZING!

mariabohner said on Dec. 30 '10

Good job! nice plumber logo

vespir said on Mar. 01 '11

I really like this! Not only because I share the SAME EXACT name as this fellow. If I was a plumber instead of a designer I'd use this for myself! Great work!

Michael Pfaff said on May. 04 '11

As an amateur trying to design my father-in-law's plumbing logo, gotta say this a great inspiration.

yhanktou said on Nov. 01 '11
