Graphic Design
If you’re a tradie or any type of small business then a professional logo might be helpful. Here are some tips for what make for a good logo.
If you’re a tradie or any type of small business then a professional logo design is important. A good logo can help you: win work, give your customers confidence and help your customers remember you for next time.
Below are 24 example logos for small businesses, service providers and tradies – from electricians and plumbers to builders and handymen.
House Logos
House logos are great logos that can work well for a variety of businesses including: handyman businesses, builders, roofers, bricklayers, construction and cleaners. These logos also work well for real estate agents and mortgage brokers.
Mascot Logos
A mascot logo could include a person or character (for example, Service Seeking’s logo or KFC’s logo with Colonel Sanders), an animal (for example, your favorite sports team) or something made-up (for example, the ‘Michelin Man’).
Water Logos
Logo designs with water are an obvious theme for plumber logos. They can also work for cleaning, pool and spa and air conditioning businesses.
Tool Logos
Logos with tools in them are pretty straightforward and generally communicate: “we know how to use these tools” or “we sell this”.
Lightning Bolt Logos
Logo designs with lightning are perfect for electrician businesses or a business trying to communicate “we are fast”. If you’re a sparkie, consider a lightning bolt logo.
Letter Logos
The “AAA” or “A1” business name is a common name used by small tradie businesses. While we’re not advocating for using this in your name, a lettermark logo (a logo with one letter or just a few letters) is often a strong, bold and memorable logo.
Brush Logos
Brush logos (particularly paint brush logos) tell you one thing: we are going to paint stuff.
Clever Logos
If you want to make your logo extra special and unique, consider a clever logo. Clever logos might be funny; they might combine multiple ideas in one logo, or they may use a technique like negative space to make you look twice.
