Logo and color scheme - auto repair shop
- Garantiert
Logo-Design Kurzbeschreibung
We’re looking to develop a brand refresh and new color scheme for a 40+ year-old automotive repair business.
The business name will be updated to:
Motor Tech Auto Repair
We are not interested in basic or generic designs (e.g., stock clipart-style logos). We’re looking for something that feels custom, thoughtful, and well-crafted.
The logo should include the following core components:
1. Design Element / Icon
-Automotive-related (wrench, car, tools, or similar)
-Should feel clean and intentional—not overly complex or generic
2. Business Name
-Motor Tech Auto Repair
-Clear, balanced, and easy to read
3. Founding Year
-1983
-Can be styled as:
--“Since 1983”
--“Est. 1983”
--“Founded 1983”
-Use whichever format works best with your design
Logo System / Variations
-We expect the final brand to include multiple usable versions:
-Full version: icon + name + founding year
-Simplified versions, such as:
--Icon only
--Logo without the founding year
--Alternate layouts (horizontal, stacked, etc.)
Color Scheme
We’re also looking for updated color palette ideas that:
-Feel appropriate for a professional automotive shop
-Work across signage, uniforms, and digital use
-Have a timeless, durable feel (not trendy or flashy)
Style Direction
The brand should reflect:
-A neighborhood, independently owned repair shop
-Strong connection to the local community
-A tone that is friendly, approachable, and professional
This is not intended to be overly trendy or “cool”—it should feel established, trustworthy, and consistent with a long-standing business.

Additional Notes
We’ve included our current branding for reference
It does not need to be replicated—we are open to a fresh direction
You may use it for light inspiration if helpful, but it is not required
