Yes there would, he's used my house for a start, thats my chimney I'd recognise it anywhere.

There is a phrase which I keep thinking of, "you get what you pay for".
In this case its never been more true.

Ali, as I designed my logo myself I have just gone through my drafts and here what I could offer:

If you wish to change fronts, colours or insert other business name let me know and do it free of charge.

Wouldn't there be a copyright issue here?

Arthur, what do you mean?

Arthur, what programme did you use to design your logo?  I like the idea of yours, but think I'll try and go with the angel theme, maybe a halo or something.

Thanks
Ali

I started my work with MO Word, now I use Adobe Illustrator CS2
I would not advice to use angels it may put some peaple off...

Why do you think it would put people off?

What angels have to do with cleaning?

[Ali_D]

When someone does a good job or does something well or when a child's well behaved we call them an angel/little angel.

We have got a few weird sayings down here so perhaps its a Welsh thing.  Anyone else use this saying or am i just being weird again? :

[supernova77]

I'm thinking about having a new logo designed soon.

I'm going to use http://www.logosolution.co.uk if I do decide to go for it.

Keep it short and easy to remember...
..."Ali's Cleaning Angels", but I do not think angels would bother to clean , just kidding 

I have never been serious about using angel in the business name.  That is only my opinion I do see it offensive but I personally do not like it (as well as use of word God on this forum) and I personally would not choose service from a business with such name.

Nothing personal, Ali, just my opinion.

Regards,
Arthur

No problem at all Arthur, I appreciate what you're saying.  I'd never thought about it like that.  I think its so widely used as a 'term' now that a lot of people don't give it a second thought.  However, it is mostly used as a term of endearment and appreciation.  I suppose that's my justification for using it.  I don't mean to offend anyone, its just meant to be light hearted.

Your missing my point, as you say they say nothing about anything.

They still ended up major companies or am i wrong

I am not missing anything :

My points are:
1 OCS & MITIE say nothing about anything
2 OCS & MITIE can be associated with anything
3 Angels have some meaning, which has nothing to do with cleaning
and
4 I personally do not associate Angels with cleaning
to say more
5 I do not like to see Angels associated with cleaning

That  : is my personal few on this matter.

A certain cleaning company not far from me has Angels in their name, they have a very respectable turnover approx 300k pa, thats from mainly domestic cleaning :

I like Ali's angels
you will get good listings in y/p ect.
its got a nice ring to it
people wont forget your name
it stands out and is much more memorable than most

if i was using this name and wanted a logo, i would have a outline of a figure with a halo round there head using a vacuum cleaner

[*Chris Browne]

I think what Arthur is really getting at is the religious slant on the word"Angel" and i think we must respect his opinion if that is the case.

Thank you Chris, but as I said  :, it just my view...

[MrsMeredith]

Ali, its not just a Welsh thing with the "angel" saying, we often use this terminology in the Midlands too ! either say: your an absolute angel, or another slant on this would be: your a saint, or a star !!

Arthur is indeed entitled to his personal opinion on the name including "Angel", and we should respect it but at the end of the day i really do not think a potential cleaning client will browse the Yellow pages or local classifieds newspaper and become miffed or disgusted with the use of this terminolgy in the business name/logo and therefore not even give them a chance,,,,,,,,,,but thats just my view on it. I think something catchy works just aswell as something simple.
