Real client work
The van is the brief
Pressure washing is won locally, and most of your marketing is a vehicle parked outside a job. That is the real test for the logo, and it is a harsh one. It has to be read from across a road, often at speed, usually in poor Irish light, by somebody who is not looking for you.
That rules out a lot. Thin lines disappear. Pale blues vanish against a bright sky. Detailed illustrations of water turn into a smudge. Anything with more than two or three elements stops being readable at distance.
What we draw instead
A strong simple shape, heavy enough type to hold up at forty kilometres an hour, and enough contrast that it still reads on a grey day. Water and pressure can be suggested without drawing every droplet.
We design it in one colour before we design it in colour, because a mark that works as a solid black shape works everywhere. That also happens to be what a signwriter needs for cut vinyl, which is how most van graphics are actually made.
Everywhere else it has to live
The logo does not stop at the van. It goes on quotes and invoices, on polo shirts and hi vis, on a signboard left at a completed job, on Facebook and Google listings where local customers compare you against three others.
You get versions built for each of those. A stacked version for square spaces, a horizontal version for the side of a vehicle, a single colour version for embroidery and vinyl, and a reversed version for dark backgrounds.
Who this is for
Pressure washing and power washing contractors, exterior and render cleaning companies, gutter and roof cleaning services, driveway and patio cleaning businesses, and commercial cleaning firms tendering for contracts where looking established is part of winning the work.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good pressure washing logo?
It has to be legible on a moving van from across a road. That means a strong simple shape, heavy enough type to read at speed, and high contrast. Most cleaning logos fail because they are too detailed and too pale.
Will the logo work on a van wrap?
Yes, and it is designed for that first. You get vector artwork a signwriter can scale to any size, plus a single colour version for cut vinyl, which is how most van graphics are actually produced.
Can you put it on uniforms and workwear?
Yes. Embroidery drops fine detail and thin lines, so you get a version drawn specifically to be stitched, along with the files your embroiderer will ask for.
How much does a pressure washing logo cost?
It is priced per project rather than sold as a package, based on how many directions you want and whether you also need van graphics, workwear and quote templates setting up. You get a fixed price before anything starts.
How long does it take?
Most logos run one to two weeks depending on how quickly feedback comes back. If you have a van booked in for wrapping, tell us the date and we will work to it.
Do I own the logo?
Yes, outright, once the project is paid. No ongoing fees, no licence, and you get the original vector files rather than just a flattened image.
