Garrison Productivity Solutions

GPS - Your Guide to True North (if design gets the GPS idea then can take it off the tag).

Include this tagline in my logo.

Yes

Describe who/what this design is about

Garrison Productivity Solutions is uniquely experienced at applying Lean to areas beyond the shop floor. With clients in a broad range of industries such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and finance we go well beyond the typical manufacturing applications. Of course we also provide exceptional training and coaching in the more typical manufacturing settings.

The real key is that we can work with you to transform the entire enterprise. It starts with understanding your Value Stream from your customer back and then teaching you how to apply the right tool at the right place to gain maximum benefit.

I can show you how to do this. I can work with you to train the entire organization not just work around wasteful processes but get to the heart of it and eliminate it. I am hands on and will not just give your team some training and then walk away. I will "get dirty" with you.

Leans is a never ending process that is not just an event but a way of thinking. Every department, every application, every process eliminating waste every day. Most of all your customers will see constantly improving service and you will see an improving bottom line.

Industry type

Consulting

What kind of design are you looking for?

Symbolic

Initials

How would you describe the effect in your logo:(Check all that apply)

Cutting-Edge
Unique/Creative
Clean/Simple
Corporate
Modern
Industry Oriented

What colors would you like?

I like strong colors such as blue, green and black.

How many colors do you want in your design?

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas?

I realize the company name is long but it's important to have my name as it is known in the industry and then the Productivity Solutions is what I specialize in so that should be there. My daughter came up with the idea that the initials created GPS which shows you your way and could lead to a cool logo of ideas that show improvement or an upward arrow as part of the design. Honestly though, I have no design skills but I'll give you all the feedback as fast as I can when I start to see what I like. If you need more info about Lean or the Toyota Production System just let me know or there is a lot on google.

#204 - Maybe not as big a circle would help. Also try it in a blue, black or combo. #205 is bold but seems too plain and needs something else. Both of these need the tag line added... Your Guide To True North

voxme: Welcome to the contest! That is a new look and a creative G, but I think it's too modern of a look for my business. I'm looking for bold, clean and classic as GPS is a consulting company that helps other company's improve.

#143 - I like the fonts for the GPS, company name and tag, but the green makes it look too much like an environmental company I think. Try different colors and something else other than the arch through the center.

#157 - My main focus is not green consulting. I improve business results and profitability while also helping the environment too, but I think this logo shows more of a "green" theme.

sldesign: Interesting use of the world in the background but I'm not sure how easy that would be to embroider on a shirt or hat. I'll find out. In the mean time #152 is good but I don't want the arrow pointing down. Improvements I make should cause business to have arrows go up. Try bringing the whole swoosh under the logo and go upwards on the right.

Ryno - #134 - #137: Thanks for joining the contest. I need the company name in the logo as well as the GPS and tag. This is a professional consulting company that others pay to improve their companies so the logo needs to look bold, but crisp, clean and uncluttered. Blue, black, gold and green (not lime) are preferred colors.

#130 - Welcome to the contest! I like the colors, but am not sure if the circles add to the logo or tie into the company. I'll keep it for now but if you can think of another symbol or design to go along with the initials, name and tag, please resubmit another version! Thanks!

#120 - Thanks for joining the contest! I'm looking for something more bold and a different style. For example, a font that is not as square would be good. Also, not sure of the symbol above the GPS. Could you send me a message to explain or try something else? Also, please use lower case letters in the company name except on the G, P and S for that line. So it would look like... Garrison Productivity Solutions. Feel free to work with different shades of blue, grey, black, green and gold. Thanks!

#112 - Thanks for your submission! Some of the things I've been noting during the week are bright colors: blues, blacks, greens, golds are great. The company name I like with caps on the G, P and S, then lower case on the rest. Something that really is bold and eye-catching for cards, shirts/hats, etc. Also, I'm a consultant that improves companies so if you use an arrow please have it going upwards not down as I hope to be improving the company! :-) Thanks again for your work! Look forward to seeing the revisions and new ideas!

All Designers: Just a quick note on what I do...My company uses the Toyota Production System also known as Lean Manufacturing to improve processes, reduce variation in processes and improve a company's profitability, delivery, quality and safety. I consult with them to teach them how to do this and help themselves. Maybe this will help to think of symbols that could work with that type of business. If you Google lean manufacturing you may find more to work with. Good luck and THANKS! DaveGPS

Good Morning everyone (I'm on the east coast so I've woken up to a huge number of new inputs which is FANTASTIC. We even have some new designers! ONLY ONE DAY LEFT!!! So please get any new ideas and variations up so that I will have all your best work to decide from...which by the way is going to be a tough decision as you all are so creative and have given me a lot to choose from. Bmaczz: #22 & #95 are my favorites of yours. I like how #95 is more bold looking. Try bolding in black the company name so it stands out more on #95. Fawwaz: #105 looks good and I like the text lines best, but I like the blue balls in the grey arcs as in #28. I mentioned that the in lean manufacturing, people are drawn with a head and arms which looks like the blue ball with a C around it. That is creative that you are tying in the lean part of my company. You can google lean symbols if you want to see more of what I'm talking about. No matter what design I like bold so it jumps out at you and will catch attention. Thanks for the tips on saving printing costs with too many colors! jp1876: Love #42 from the beginning as clean and classic. As above, any ideas for a more bold design either with this base ore something new? Nicko: #79 is my favorite of yours with the globe. Instead of a star can you try a starburst at the top of the world for true north. I'm just thinking of something a little fancier that a regular star. The new style compass in #70 and #80 are very creative! #83 multi-colored globe has caught a lot of eyes, but I'm not sure if its too much. I will write you more after I keep looking at it. Great efforts on all the variations though!!! Rain: I like #55 variation, but some people are having trouble with the very creative G. Any other ideas for that letter? I've have a few ideas I'll write to you on the other design. Neon: #102 & #99 great getting the fonts bold like the logo. I like the grey lines between the name and tag. Please use #102 name & tag fonts/colors on #94. Andrei: #107 - Need Garrison in the company name and would like a more bold design. Good first try, so now let's see how we can make it or another idea stand out more. psychoteck: #110 & #111 are new and bold. Need the company name to be more legible. Maybe put it all on one line and I like caps on the G, P and S in the name with the rest being lower case. Need the tag line "Your Guide To True North" in the design too. Maybe another try for a symbol as I'm not sure the world links into my company which is process improvements/variation reduction and improving business profitability. THAT'S A LOT OF COMMENTS! IF YOU HAVE MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS OR IF I'VE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING I'LL SEND A PERSONAL MESSAGE. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! DaveGPS

To ALL DESIGNERS...You all have done fantastic and we have a lot to choose from which I love! I need to clean up the page so I'm going to eliminate the early versions or ones that we've determined just don't work. This should make it easier for all to see what is heading toward the finish line. PLEASE KEEP SUBMITTING NEW IDEAS as just because I'm cleaning some up doesn't mean I've picked one. I am really amazed and impressed with what you all can do. I know how to make a company more profitable, but I can not come close to YOUR CREATIVITY!!!! I am very jealous. Again, THANKS and PLEASE keep working until the deadline. I really want the best you have and I know you'll give it to me!!! DaveGPS

Great work everyone! I've been sending this link out to a lot of people I know to get their opinions so your work is getting a lot more publicity than with just my company. I've received many comments about what a great way this is to design a logo, so keep the new ideas coming! Thanks! #50 - Could you please put the gold GPS with blue arrow and blue GPS with gold arrow on their own individual pages so I can see them full size vs. the others. #48 & #49 - Please darken or bold the tag lines as in #27 so it stands out a little more. #42 - Same comment as above, please darken the tag line some. #15 - Can you put this on a white background and add the tag line but not in script please.
