I'm trying to become an electrician and since every boomer in the job is a computer illiterate and their flyers look like absolute shit I figured I could benefit a lot from good branding.

So far I made this simple logo but I'm not totally convinced. I tried many thing with the color palette and this is the best that came out but still I'm not totally convinced, as if something is off or lacking in the design or too much disparity with the verbal part of my brand.
Can you enlighten me?

Amusing that you come out of the gate shitting on "boomers" who are all allegedly computer illiterate and then manage to have the results of your concerted efforts to best them (using computer technology largely developed by boomers) look like you slapped together elements of the lamest, most generic low quality cheap ass 1980s royalty free clip art drawn by someone who had to settle for that shit job and is just phoning in the most trite "designs" imaginable.

I could explain in detail why that "brand" is laughably amateurish and creates more problems than it solves, but like 99.9% of these threads you'll just argue that I'm wrong and it's great and doesnt need changing, so have fun.

Yeah I read some pages of Inkscape's documentation and did that basic design from scratch using the same 3 basic tools.

You're off to a good start. A suggestion I would make is to simplify you logo until it works in black and white. The apple computer logo is a good example of this.
Try starting with the black circle, delete the house and reverse the electrical plugs and delete everything outside the circle.

And set your text in Eurostile.
Remember, there is no other font than Eurostile.
