We would like to see abstract marks as well as letterform marks. We also want to see some treatments with black and silver as the most prominent with blue less prominent. also, like to see background as a solid color with subtle gradient. from black to blue.

please do not include the tagline in the logo.

Please just focus on the name SNIPES. i do like the cursive lettering some of you have tried.

the word "properties" should be less prevalent and is not necessarily needed at all. also, please add more dark blue. our old color was PMS 542 maybe try big blue background that fades to black like a sunburst with the word snipes in silver, grey or white. check out the website links we gave. we really like the laurel as a symbol or something like that. and i would really like to see if someone could mimic the "N" swoosh in our old logo but with an updated font. the simpler the better. people have to see this logo on yard signs as they drive by, so the simpler the better.

please don't focus on the letter S. put more focus on the word SNIPES. maybe surrounded by two laurels. other firms in our market have logo that focus on the letter S.

like #16 and #17. maybe something combines to the two. also, lets see some designs with the word SNIPES surronded by laurels like they do with all the film festivals. also, the blue and black background in #17 is great. lets see the colors reverse. would also like to see some abstract symbols with just the Snipes word.

ok guys, check this out.

in the middle of the page is the new logo by a merged bank, Union First Market. i like this logo because, the name is big and centered, it has an abstract symbol and it has a nice place at the bottom to either put our tagline, "Driven by Excellence"

i'd love to see someone try this layout. it will work very well for our collateral materials, signs ,etc./

#28 should look more like a film festival award. #24 should be on blue to black sunburst background. and do something more pronounced with the N

would like to see all the entries on the background blue fading to black. or black fading to blue. still want to see more abstract symbols. lets skip the N swoosh and you guys do some more of your creative ideas.

like type on #30. can you add any abstract symbols to that or integrate the laurel concept.

guys, in the portfolio. there is a logo for distressed hotels. i really like the color and look of this logo.

don't like the serif fonts for the logo. like the sans serif ones. really want to see more of the laurel action. i am hoping someone can come up with a nice abstract. i think having the swoosh and the laurels is too busy. also, think we should stay away from gradients in the actual type.

here are some of our favorites we like from previous winners to help.

We really like the gradient background color of #63 and the tweaks inside the corners of the letters. still looking for a better abstract symbol to go inside the laurels. also, someone should try putting the word SNIPES inside the laurels. for the symbols try avoid being too pointy. it looks way too scary for our market.

For the symbol maybe someone should try a Doorknocker, a old gothic window, a corbel from an old house, Crown moulding or some kind of architectual element to go inside the laurels. stay away from rooftops or something too much like a house. something more architectual.

#106 looks great. really like the angled symbol. would like to see some different type styles on the name SNIPES. maybe play with serif even though, i said not to before.
