I need a quick logo or flashy text to put on my website for my front page.

http://www.ShowroomShineNC.com. It would go where the current white/red "logo" is now. Ideally I'd like it to have a black background so it would blend with that column, chrome or silver text color. The current logo is whats on my t-shirts but it looks silly on the site.

Does anyone have any ideas on what should be done or where I should start? Is this simple enough I or someone here could do (I'd be willing to pay) or do I need a graphic designer?

Any tips would be appreciated.

I don't see a red/white logo...

I see a suave silvery logo.

Anyway, the answer is alpha transparency.

How does one get a passion to clean cars?

Oh yeah I changed it temporarily until I can find something better. It actually looks ok now (just needs to be bigger).

Whipped something up for you, but I'm no pro.

This actually reminds me of one time I was in a coffee shop in new bern.

I sat there for an hour eavesdropping on this guy (loudly) discussing his life story. tl;dr: the guy was passionate as fuck about cleaning cars, how no one understood quality, THE MAN WAS KEEPING HIM DOWN, and no one would support him with his dream.

I actually think it's pretty fucking excellent that people become passionate about what they do no matter how seemingly mundane it is.

I wish I could get a passion to do ordinary things... I'll just stick to my clinical depression thankyou very much

Obligatory:

With your design, if I were you, I wouldn't use a logo. Find a web-safe font you like and do that up in plain text. It should be distinct from the menu text on the page, and stand out a bit, but for something that simple my advice is not to gay it up with a logo.

That's old-skool advice: http://www.google.com/webfonts

Whatever. His logo is words. Use words, not a shitty picture of words.

edit: Clearly I'm not up to date on web-design trends. I'm not a web developer, I'm an actual developer.
