Hi Josh, looks great.
Just a question: You went with "Cola" in the name, rather than "Soda"?
I just wanted to make sure that it's not a typo, because as you know, obviously Frostie (as in the machines in your logo) is Root Beer and not even a cola, plus other drinks you may customize the machines for.
Just making sure.

You are right. I just emailed him to ask if it can be changed. I hope he hadn't bought the domain yet. Oh well. Even if it doesn't get changed it isnt that big of a deal. I think everyone will understand. I didn't want to do soda because I didn't want to be confused with this site or give this site any competition. By the way I was asked if I wanted a message board and I said NO. I don't want to take anything away from this site.

Nice look Josh.  I like your idea of adding the V56 Coke machine.  Good luck.

I have decided to stay with customcolamachines.com. I like the sound of that better. I don't think people will even think about the fact that rootbeer isnt a cola.

Here is the logo that I have decided to go with. What do you all think?

That's a new one on me.  I guess being from the south where everything is a Coke, I didn't know there is a difference between sodas and colas.  I always thought they were the same thing - Cokes!

On the logo, the right most machine kind of detracts from it, being sideways and all.  Do you have another (third) machine you could show?  Also, its a bit large for a logo.

The sideways machine is only temporary as I want it to be a machine other than Coke. I am currently working on my 7up square top and I am also going to pick up a Vendorlator 56 on thursday that is going to be Mountain Dew so one of those machines will replace the sideways machine. It is rather big but once you see how it is layed out on the site it would look odd if it were smaller. This is really a fun project. I can't wait to have my own web site.

Be careful using anything Coke in your logo if Coke finds it they will shut it down.....
They are the reason there are no longer the Sweetheart soda calendars, etc.
They are very protective of their Trademark.
