Shipping Containers Blog

This shipping container conversion project was to consist of 7 second hand 20ft containers joined together to make a large “community centre” in Chiswick.

It is perhaps easiest to think of shipping containers as pieces of lego that can have sides removed and be welded together in order to make a larger building.   When planning this there are several points to bear in mind, not least of which is to balance up using new shipping containers over used containers.   Whilst second hand containers have the advantage of being more ecologically friendly, it is often more difficult and therefore more expensive, to find a large number have the same specifcation.  Essentially what this actually means is that they are built so that the top rails and floor bearers match and so can be married up successfully so that there are no obvious joins.  In new containers, this is not a problem because they tend to be all shipped together in a batch and therefore have identical build specification.

Today we would like to ask for your help in selecting our new logo for CS Shipping Containers.  The designs are meant to represent shipping containers and the sea.

LOGO ONE

This first logo is meant to represent a line of boxes in sea colours.  It is Susan’s favorite.

LOGO TWO

This second logo, designed by Simon represents a stack of cargo containers and has a very modern font to represent how shipping containers fit into modern society.

LOGO THREE

This final logo is my favorite.  It represents shipping containers in sea colours wrapping round CSSC as a wave.

Anyway, let us know what you think as we would be really interested to hear from you.

Regular readers will know that we have been working hard on our new website.  It is designed to be easy to navigate around and give easily accessible information on shipping containers.

Today we have launched the almost completed site.   It does not have all the photographs that we had planned as yet, but does have some unique features such as a section on FAQ specifically relating to refrigerated containers - some of which we featured in last weeks blog.

There are specific sections on containers for secure storage, shipping which explain all the things you need to know when purchasing a shipping container to use in these ways.   There is also sections specifically designed for different applications such as companies, individuals, education etc.  Container Conversions also have a special section which we will continually update with new ideas and projects.

Let us know what you think of the new site and bear with us as we update our shipping container images.  Any ideas you have on how we can improve things we would love to hear.
