Our Ideas and Additional Information:

I have attached a drawing of a 3D blown up box (conceptually a cabinet) and would love to use this as the emblyem. My drawing and perspective skills are pretty rusty so I've also attached a CAD drawing of our cabinet which is a similar concept but I like the view of the drawing, and I trust your perspective angles more than mine. Thanks for your work!

Kanava, thank you for your entries! Being in the Pacific Northwest we are surrounded by water and I'm afraid we may be sending a confusing message as this compass emblem is associated with the Marine industry in our area. The fonts look pretty playful/feminine and they are nice but I would like to see other more masculine and elegant font options, maybe some serif and san-serif styles. Of the 2 emblems, I like the angled compass better of entry 3. Thank you! The logos do look fresh, modern and clean which is what we're after. ~Tess

#5, thank you for your submission. I like the way the fonts look and how you shifted the color but I don't want to see the nautical embleym (see posting on Feb 10 at 11:16am). Any other ideas for the embleym?

ATTENTION DESIGNERS! We've updated the Brief to open up for more ideas, I welcome your creative input using more colors. The abbreviation can be CNC or CN, we can include or exclude Co. or Corp. or Corporation. Also, if your design stacks the works "Cabinets" and "Northwest" and "Co", I don't like how the O of Northwest and the O of Corporation are on top of eachother. My eye sticks there, perhaps try different sizing of fonts or center the texts?

SLOGAN OPTIONS: Part of the update to the brief, we just added the option for a slogan. Take a look at what we do and use your creativity to make up a slogan! Or, using words like | Integrity | Quality | Value | etc to add to the look. Thank you!
