Logo and bus. card design- please critique

[dclink]

Here is a design I did for a friend of mine. I designed the logo, cut and made two signs, made stickers for his shop truck and recently put made an accident form and business card for him. Tell me what you think:

Doug, your work is inspiring. Keep it up! You are great.

Doug, that is just sad. Commenting on your own work like that...

Your colors are nice. But you may have used too many fonts and the images and fonts run too close to the edge.

I agree. You should limit yourself to two fonts. When I look at the piece, I really don't know where to look first.

In my opinion, the script font doesn't fit the business.

Your colors are nice, very contrasting, which I like.

It's fun to do something retro and with that 'welding shop' look once in awhile, isn't it. I'll bet your friend, the client, loved it. The colors, the layout, the fonts - it's like a happy business circus on a business card. I'll bet the vehicle signage looks great.

Doug, your avatar is cool - reminds me of 'The Wiz Kids'...

I like the idea of the 2 cars crashing into each other.
The rest of the design is not really my style - I agree with the comment about the fonts.

you know.. .I like the Clark and what you did with it. but i'm not buying it for a body shop type of place. it's too fun? also the purple is too soft.

too many fonts also. I agree with everyone else.

Your logo almost looks a bit too busy. All the fonts are kinda smushed together. Try being a bit more consistant with your fonts. When you have 20 different fonts all running at once, it distracts the eye. You want your main text to stand out,and the extra info supporting it.

Also, what's up with that huge purple thing behind the main logo? http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/blink.gif Try trashing that and playing with text effects instad of backgrounds - too much colour makes the printing price run up the wall. http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/dry.gif
