DizzyOC, if you'd be interested to hear it from customer perspective:
I would expect a 3 to 6 sets of logos in different color schemes within 7-10 days.
Based on the logo chosen I would expect at the very least 2 different layouts within the further 2 weeks.
I would expect to have a rough work finished within 4 weeks and a polished working website within 6 weeks.
Stationary set can take additional 2-3 days.
This is the time frame for a brand-from-the-scratch graphics.
Hope this helps

Sounds about right for a really thorough project but can I ask a question - how much would you be prepared to pay for the above ?
Because if you add up the above then you're looking at 11 weeks, aka 55 days.
Do you really think that someone would pay an expert about 10K for the above, or even pay a novice 5K ?0 -

I have one particular project we started in June 2010.
So sometimes it can take a while longer than expected 0 -

Very interesting. You're a rare form of customer it seems - have only ever worked for a couple like you!
I asked the question because now it seems I'll get given a project in the morning from the "Design Consultant" for whom i work and be expected to have a couple of solutions by lunch! Logos or websites. I find this ridiculous - but have started wondering recently if i'm just really, really slow! Crisis of confidence!
I know your time frame above would be for a total overhaul and constitutes plenty of thinking time too, (always required - the shower has been particularly good for me over the years for ideas!) but for a new website for example, a morning would be ridiculous, no?
Would you want to pay for something produced that quickly?
I'm actually pretty sure I know the answer!0 -

That's pretty impressive in fairness! *doffs cap*
It's "interesting" to me. Personally I far prefer the kind of projects where someone calls me at 3am:
"We need a new site designed & built for tomorrow afternoon's launch. We had to rebrand due to legal issues. (Yes, we are prepared to pay lots because of the urgency)".
Those are my favourite kinds of projects because I like the pressure.0 -
DizzyOC, this is quite good as a first sketch.
I would agree that contact info on the top right is inconsistent in font and thus a bit annoying.
Might be try to make the lines of the circle that is behind the logo a bit thinner.
What if you bring the contacts below the line and pull logo higher?
But overall a very interesting concept.
Thank you too for your ideas - have taken them on board though the slipping of the contacts beneath the line offers a slight imbalance at first attempt - might try compressing the header a little & see if that works.
have worked up the body a bit now too.
Other project needs attending to this avo but will be returning to this tomorrow morning - it was a quick put together here as always it seems - hence the thread, but hopefully will come together nicely.)
suggestions all appreciated - feel i'm needing a bit of design tlc at the moment. Battered confidence

Talk about hitting the nail on the head - i always felt that but never *knew* it. Fantastically put!
Thank you. 0 -

Now my attention is drawn to the repeating motif from the logo (The green bits with the dial and the similar ones used ). It's a bit busy. I wonder how the greentec logo would look without it? Maybe only have it once (bookending the large hero image)
Hmmm. The logo is not mine & I was specifically asked to use the dial thing as a faded-feature behind the logo. It'd look less busy without that behind for sure but maybe i'd need to compress the whole header a little then as as there is a bit of an imbalance then. The logo itself is a little busy for me - if not unfinished but..!
Anyway I can't keep hollering back for advice the whole time - really appreciate the feedback though it has helped and has defo put me on the right track.
feeling a bit better about my capabilities now too - whatever about the design - this has been a good day! 0 -

Ah not the faded part, that looks fine actually! It's the smaller piece
It's a bit overused.0 -

DizzyOC, concept is good But ...
If you were designing for us ... I would say shrink the header part, it is too tall and takes more then 30% of the page on 15" screen.
Further reduce the font of the contacts.
On the menu "c" letters look almost like "o".
Don't make the main text light-grey. Make it either black or a darker shade.
Do you absolutely have to have reds in the stripe below contacts? They are not used anywhere else on the page. Looks a bit inconsistent.
But you do have skill and unique style. Keep going! 0 -
