This contest if for both logo and website front page. Main menu items are Landlording, Buying & Selling, Q & A, Meetings & Events, Sponsors & Advertisers, and Educational Materials. Hopefully the menu items will give designers enough insight into the group to get a feel for the image the site and logo should present. I would like to incorporate the shape of Delaware into the logo and/or the main heading of the webpage. I am open to the logo being seperate from the main heading or actually being that heading. Professional colors but not too institutional.

Designers please note: THIS CONTEST IS FOR LOGO ONLY. THE WEBSITE FRONT PAGE CONTEST WILL BE RAN SEPARATELY AT THE END OF THIS CONTEST. ~V.

went with a simple, straightforward design, using the state of delaware as the I.

Hi Paul, I like the concept of the roof over the RE(real estate), and it prompted a thought. I'd like to see what the state shape would look like inside of the D so the DEL part has the delaware shape, the RE has the roof, and try the I with a $ in it. The letters will probably have to be be chunkier to make that work. But, I have to tell you, I am using Design Contest becasue I am not good at this . Mike

revisions with and without the $. good idea with putting the state in the D. I'm not so sure about the $ sign, as I feel it makes the logo too busy, plus it may remind people of those cheesy cash advance stores. but let me know your thoughts. thanks for the quick feedback.

I am pleased to present my first concept and look forward to your thoughts.

[MikeyF]

Paul- I am with you on the cheesy cash advance look. I was hoping to see the characters chunky enough that that the dollar sign actually fit inside of the "I". Revising that gives me two variations of your submission that are good considerations.

CincyTodd- You must have done some Delaware homework! Blue and gold...nice! I love the look. First glance gave me a little too much of a city feeling with the taller building. Other than that, I'm diggin' it like a landscaper!

hello,
I tried a diffrent approach using the Delaware map
The model of the key and the colors can be changed easily.

Regards,
robert

Robert777- Thanks for submitting. It is nice, almost a little pretty. I don't sense professional association for some reason. I do like the key hanging off of the top of the state though.

[robert777]

Thanks for the quick feedback.
If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate..

robert

[MikeyF]

Robert- The best suggestion I have is to please try again. I'm sure you can come up with something good that is more professional association.

Hi MikeyF,

Feedback is appreciated.

Paulo- I The colors are good and I like the left frame with the stae shape. My initial reaction was the font may be too small for the size of the state shape though. I'm not a pro at this, so I am just giving you my reaction. I completely lack whatever that thing is that allows people to see tings that aren't there. I was able to identify the roof design on the "A", but someone was looking over my shoulder and asked what it was. When I explained she said that she still couldn't see it. Overall I do like it. Some revisions will help. Thankis for the submission.

Hi Mikey,

Thanks for the prompt feedback.

I revised the concept according to your instructions (text size and appearance/suggestion). Two ideas for you to consider. Top, the "A" midde stripe was reconstructed and in teh bottom I add a styled window to have more a of a house appearence.

Feedback is appreciated.

[MikeyF]

Paulo- I like it. The house is more obvious and, to me, the font size and state seem more in balance. 11 more days of contest. We'll see what the other designers bring. We have some good choices so far.

[guetizo]

Mikey,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I also think that we have now a better, unique and balanced logo concept.

Again, thanks for your time!
Paulo

Robert- Nice job stepping it up. Now you are right in there with a good professional look. My critical feedback this time is that the house is not easily identifiable. After I looked at it for a few seconds I could see that it is half of a house, but at first glance it looked like a ship.

[robert777]

thanks Mikey
that could easely be changed, I'll post the revision in a couple of hours, I'm going to the college now
