Arthouse, Phacker, Cookman, and Nonameface,

Thank you for your quick turnaround on concepts. I like everyone's tweaks and feel that many are complete. Remember, you can submit multiple concepts and I hope that if one idea is put to bed that you'll consider entering another idea.

My specific comments:

Arthouse: I like both of these changes. I personally think the sun rays are more striking against a dark background like the cluster of houses but that the linear line of houses makes a stronger statement. I'd consider this a finished concept--congrats and thanks!

Phacker: I like your new idea. I think the castle theme is interesting but that in its current state it overpowers just a little. I wonder if there is a way to make the castle less impactful and blend it into the background more. Perhaps through a color change or making it a bit more abstract?

Cookman: Very good. I believe your small changes to the font size and swoosh made a big impact and hope you agree. I consider this a finished concept--thanks.

Nonameface: I don't really know what font is exactly right but I think your choices are good. I'm mostly looking for something that creates clear word separation between real-home-worth and that is somewhat "ownable" (not common and not used by our competitors). I think your choice is strong and believe this concept is complete. Thanks for your work.

Wow…that's about it. Probably my shortest recap yet! I appreciate everyone's work.

Hello Daphne, Julieta, Nonameface, and Will.

A special welcome to Daphne and Will for joining in. Sorry I'm late posting my comments today--I usually try to post before 10am CST.

I like the final tweaks Julieta and Nanameface did and appreciate the work from Daphne and Will.

Here are specific comments:

Daphne: I appreciate your totally unique approach and feel that it does truly embody the concept of Discovery. I applaud you for taking a new direction. The overall feel that I walk away with is more of a Scholastic Books impression. I don't know if it's the font choice or the use of the book, but for some reason it is tickling some old memories of a book-of-the-month type club. I wonder if simply removing the book resolves this without destroying your approach.

Julieta: I think these are good changes and I'd consider this concept wrapped up. I especially like the question mark approach and the puzzle piece. Thanks for all your hard work.

Nonameface: I like this arrangement better and think you made some wise choices. I don't really have any more revision requests/feedback ideas. Thanks for your efforts!

Will: Thanks for your idea. I like your rural/suburban approach. We are trying to steer away from a cartoony feel because our competitor housevalues.com uses it and also because the real estate industry can be a little shady online and it's important to convey a feeling of stability and professionalism. I wonder if there is a way to retain the graphical elements of your design while removing some of the animated feel. Perhaps by becoming a little more abstract? I'd be interested to see your take.

Thanks again all. Hope nobody has been too affected by the FL hurricanes…I'm in Chicago and we haven't even had a drop of rain.

Hi, sorry but I'll see if I can prepare something new for tomorrow tuestday. If not Great Luck to all.

[phacker]

Haven't been receiving notices, so give me a little time to rework.

[daphne]

here's the second try, sans book. still thinking about the font, and will probably work on the hills if you think they're worth tweaking.

Will, Phacker, and Daphne.

Thanks for your comments. I've got just a few notes below. Have a great weekend!

MarketingGuy--Chris

Will: I think this is moving in the right direction but that it still comes across too cartoon-like. Have you considered removing the Real-Home-Worth words from the logo and making it an icon that simply complements the words?

Phacker: Thanks for your note, I'll look forward to checking it out next week. Just a reminder that the contest ends on Tuesday.

Daphne: I like the hills--personally, I like the two hill version over the three. I do still think a slightly different font would be helpful but encourage you to stay in the "classic" font camp.

Thanks again everyone.

Chris

Logodoer, Matt, Daphne, Frontend, and Shane,

Thanks for your work this weekend. I hope everyone had some enjoyable time away from work.

Just a reminder that the contest ends tomorrow, Tuesday the 14th. Please be sure to post any final revisions.

Specific comments:

Logodoer: Thanks for joining the contest. I like your concept with the city buildings and the home. However, I think it's a little too cartoon-like. Is there a way to remove some of that feel?

Matt: Welcome! I think your concept for the flamingo/dollar sign is quite clever. Is there a way to make it a little more explicit--make the dollar sign a little more like a flamingo? Also, I think that the magnifying glass isn't necessary…your house/flamingo should be strong enough.

Daphne: I like your small revisions and think the addition of the windows is helpful.

Frontend: I like the staggered wording in the first concept. Is there a way to make one of the houses stand out/appear to be "my house" in the neighborhood? I also like the second concept's horizontal bar…is there a way to add a little interest to that bar?

Shane: Thanks for posting the final entries and for all your hard work. You've been at it since nearly the first day and I appreciate your efforts.

Thanks again everyone…

Hi! Here's my third and final entry. I didn't want to go for another "house"-design, neither did I want anything close to my 1st or 2nd entry, so here is something completely different again.

It's an aesthetic and almost abstract shape that represents a butterfly - the idea is that the cocoon is the butterfly's "home" and from inside it comes something amazing.

The idea does not come across until in an animation, I put an example below, but it is not the final animation (with a butterfly flying from inside a cocoon, or a butterfly flying into place), this is just to show the rough flying-effect.

The colors are not designed yet.

Rough flying animation, not yet a moving butterfly:

Might not be what you're looking for, or then again it might, but at least I enjoyed giving life to the still near-abstract shape. Thanks for the contest!

I tried a flash of my own. Click link below to view quick animation.
