Members AODfan Posted June 30, 2014 Members Report Posted June 30, 2014 I have been trying to come up with a mark and wanted it be a little unique. I have Googled and found some that are interesting, but I can't really think of much for me. The only thing I could really think of was my first two initials and last name. Attached is a pic of what I have come with with so far. Please let me know what you think. Quote
Members ENC Posted June 30, 2014 Members Report Posted June 30, 2014 I like the JA(reversed)J with an oval around it. It looks like a brand. Quote
Members BAD HIDE Posted June 30, 2014 Members Report Posted June 30, 2014 Definitely the block letter JAJ. Also try making the A smaller than the J's, as your first and last name presumably are more important than the middle. Quote Badhide.com
Members AODfan Posted June 30, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2014 Ok, here are some more marks along the lines you were talking about that I made up real quick. Quote
Members AODfan Posted July 1, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 1, 2014 Ok, I think I may have a finalized design. What do you guys think? Quote
Members BAD HIDE Posted July 1, 2014 Members Report Posted July 1, 2014 I think you got it. Looks damn good to me. Quote Badhide.com
Members BDAZ Posted July 2, 2014 Members Report Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I think you are confusing a makers mark with a cattle brand. What is the function of a makers mark??!! IMHO the mark in markers mark is marketing. I never know where our products will end up and who may see them. So my criterion for a mark is first the company name, then I include made in Arizona, USA because that adds cachet when selling overseas. Then I include my web site so the future looyloos or retail customers will be able to find our website and hopefully, order more product. May not be cute but why else have a makers mark if no one can find you unless it's an ego thing???? Cya! Bob Edited July 2, 2014 by BDAZ Quote
Members camano ridge Posted July 2, 2014 Members Report Posted July 2, 2014 I am afraid I have to agree with BDAZ. If I were to look at that mark on an item it would tell me nothing. You would know who made it but know one else would. THe makers mark shouldbe just that who made it. Initials are not going to tell anyone that. If the name of the business is JAJ custom leather then your makers mark should say that if it is J.A. Johnson Leahter then that is what your makers mark should say. When you read the makers mark there should be know question as to who made it. Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts
Members AODfan Posted July 2, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 2, 2014 So would you suggest I change my last mark to have an arced "J.A.Johnson" at the top and "Leathers" or "Leathers, Tulsa, OK" at the bottom, still having the logo in the middle? Quote
