Could the font not be a little more adventurous?

I am no professional, but how will the satellite look when the logo is printed on a letter head, for example?

no way - far too complicated at first glance.

needs simplifying more.

Nice idea, but I have to agree with above, I had to look at it for a minute to work out what it was, sorry.

Make the car smaller in relation to the 'A' (at the moment it overlaps the edge). Ditch the spoiler -- just make it a normal family saloon.

PS: where did you get the picture of the satellite from? Looks more like a telescope than a GPS satellite....

Question

It seems to have disappeared?

Unless it's supposed to be a small box with a red cross in the middle?

I agree with Daz - more simple.

Hope this helps

Is it supposed to read 'Trak' U, as in Track You?

If so I think the U should be in red to set it off.

Maybe loose the italic.

Maybe tru a satellite dish instead of a satellite. It is simpler and I think it would have the same meaning.

Just an idea. (Probably a load of ****)

Perhaps a more stylized (i.e. simpler) representation of both the car and the satellite.

Not too keen on 'TrakU' either because:
1) I personally hate the use of 'u' instead of 'you'
2) it looks like you pronounce it 'trackoo'
3) it has undertones of menace

Agree with Carl. I find it hard to avoid reading it as "Trakooo". Hyphen perhaps?

Puff,

perhaps I am being a bit harsh but is that the name you name decided on. If so in my opinion it doesn't sound right, more like an insult rather than a service ?

Go with a standard A using the car for the cross bar. The U would be better in another colour rather than Italic. And, definately use a satelite dish - ala Sky TV - more people know what they are.
