Business Card Design Brief

We need a logo and business card designed for a new construction company. We want to convey a professional, but approachable image. We hope to be servicing small residential clients as well as large commercial contracts as well.
Our business will employ a single "Hydro excavator" truck, which can be used for multiple purposes: vacuuming up dirt or water, digging holes, clearing sewer blockages and so on.
We are open to different colour schemes, however blue and white, or yellow/green would be good combinations. We are open to multiple colours (2-4), so long as they are complimentary.

EDIT: Let's not put much emphasis on the octopus... unless it's very clear that the arms are actual vacuum hoses, it won't make sense. An octopus on it's own has little to do with our business.

Please also do not use actual photos of hydro-vac trucks. This is not the aesthetic we are going for.

**The logo should instead be: A stylized outline of a hydrovac truck (a line drawing or digital version of a line-drawing). See the two examples in the attached images of hydrovac trucks. I've also included a very crude pen outline as a reference. Please use your artistic discretion and talent (as I clearly have none) to make something that looks much nicer. Thanks for your efforts!**

The front of the card should have the following elements:
Logo
Name: C & M Hydro Excavation and Flushign
Two phone numbers: Direct and Office
Email address
Website
It should also have the name of the employee and their job title
At the bottom of the card it should say (in a noticeable way): "24/7 Emergency Calls Welcome"

The back of the card should have the following elements:
"20 Years Experience"
"A Canadian Family Run Business"
A small maple-leaf logo that is in a similar style to the rest of the card/logos in the bottom right corner of the back of the card. (see attached)

**We have just added a number of business card designs that really appeal to us to offer inspiration.**

Nice to have

  • Also embossing, engraving, adding highlighted/glossy layers (spot glass?), or any other effect that will give the card a unique look/feel is more than welcome.
  • We would love to have a card that stands out from others and is compelling to look at it, so we are happy to incorporate any sort of modern printing technology to bring out the design.
  • Please feel encouraged to be creative and design something unique, especially for this industry.
  • Our dream would be if a Scandinavian architect were to go into the construction business and design this business card ;)
