You know how to use the illustrator pen tool (or live trace).
However, I fail to see the creativity in this piece. You've simply taken a photo from google and turned it into simple graphic.
Surely you cant expect to claim this as your own original piece.

That's a pretty lame assumption, Zac.

OcularInk said:Hmm...I guess you have a point, Zac. I do still think this is a very creative logo. Traced image or not. It works very well.

rsterling said:Hi OhTwentyOne,
I really like the simplicity of this logo. Good job!
One suggestion though. The hand does not look quite right to me. I know you used the photo that zac posted as inspiration but I think the hand needs editing because of the way you used it. To me, it looks like I am looking at someone clean a window from behind. So hold a pen in your right hand and raise it up as if you were going to draw a straight line down the wall: the position your hand and wrist is in now is the way I think it should be in the logo. Even if the you were watching the person clean a window from inside the building, they would still likely be using their right hand and the hand and wrist angle would be different. But this is just my overly-obsessive-detail-oriented opinion :)
Great job!

cafferacer said:sooo, very few are winning awards with the logos on this site, so to expect complete originality from anyone is a bit of a stretch to begin with. this is a good logo and the process is not important as long as it's done legally. apparently some are unaware that a graphic designer takes whatever is available and turns it into something that meets the criteria for the project, combining their creativity with others, such as typographers, illustrators and photographers. try finding a designer that isn't a visual thief, some are just more obvious.

guinn said:Great logo. I wonder, though if it would look a little cleaner to round the edges a small bit? Maybe not, but just a thought.

geoff said:There are a lot of ways to go with a silhouette logo in terms of getting the most graphic impact.
This is certainly one of them, and it is as legitimate as it is effective. Quick recognition, and the strong horizontal and vertical orientation says stability, integrity, and commitment. Harkens back to the "good old days" of hand craftsmen. All good.
For my personal taste, I would like to see a 50% gray area, or a streaked area or some form of wipe being revealed above the squeegee. And I would personally have placed the squeegee at an angle coming from the upper left corner. Simply more dynamic and modern, for me.
It all depends on the message you want to send about your client.
