I sell a lot of real estate logos in my work. One of the most popular ideas is when I use a white picket fence. It speaks of the American Dream. It often looks classy in a logo, and is not as cliche as the endless chorus of roofline logos that have saturated the market.

Entry #131) Love your work!! A request please-Is there any way you can minimize the "E" of my last name? I really like the web 2.0 feel to it with the shading below the fence icon and I also like the horizontal design (of entries #131 & # #133) rather than the stacked design (of #132 & #130). I also really like the shaded light grey background of #133. Any more options??

Tracy -

Here is a slight modification to the wordmark as requested. Your perspective about the "E" is absolutely correct, in fact It should have been minimized in the horizontal application. the large E was actually to give balance to the vertically stacked designs. I forgot to change it for the horizontal ones.

I feel this looks much better....

Awesome...Thanks!!! I like your work so much I'm wondering what other real estate related icon you can do that is not your typical roof line.

Hi TillyDes!gn,

As I mentioned earlier, I really love your work. I plan on selecting you as the winner, but I can't decide between entries #146 through #149. They are all sooo cool! Have you done this before...can you suggest my next step?

Tracy,

No problem - I'll make it easier for you...since they are the same icon with a different background. I dont charge for the background change. In other words if you select one as the winner, I can ALSO forward the other one to you via e-mail (Logo Tournament will only allow one file upload) You will get both at no additional cost.

Hope this helps,

Paul,

Hi Paul,

Got it-thank you very very much! Is it acceptable to request one or two more slightly different design options?

1) Is it possible to increase the font size on the "O'K" of my last name to match the size of the "T" in my first name?

2) Is it possible to "left" justify "REALTOR" under my name along with the line going from left to right?

I know the contest has officailly ended so if that is not possible, I understand!

Again, love the your work!!! I am sharing this with many of the agents in my office to let them know what a cool logo you did for me. I'll try to get you some more business.

Hi Paul,

Again--LOVE your work!!! After seeing the new design with the larger "O'K" it still feels like it may need a very small amount of fine tuning. I love the Font Style but am wondering about the spacing of the letters. Is there more space between the T & r of my first name and not enough space between the "O'K"--seems a bit squished there? And is the underlining word REALTOR too close to the line above?? Please advise.

I'm leaning more toward entry #146 as my favorite and will very much apprieciate anything additional you can send me via email later!! Love it!!!!!

By the way, do you know how the logo will be sent to me from LogoTournament.com once I choose you as the Winner? Do they save it in .jpg, eps, ai or png???

Thanks again for everything. You are great!!

Tracy - Thought a more modern font may look nice too....

Using lowercase of the font initially used seems to fix the spacing issue....

Hi,

My favorite is still your entry # 146

-I like the icon with the mirroring below (do you think the mirroring needs to be just a hair darker so it will be certain to show up on different mediums, re: business cards, websites, flyers etc...??)
-I like the font (with all cap letters)
-I like REALTOR, the way you had it at first--to the right with the line. It feels a bit more balanced that way.

Wondering if you can leave just about everything the same as it is with just a couple of slight changes?
1) Is it possible for you to put the ' in my last name on the same line as everthing else and adjust the letter spacing? Do they call that LEADING?
2) Can you move REALTOR down just a hair?

Feel free to call me if you have any questions. I may not have explained myself very well.

Thanks for everything Paul!!!

Tracy -

Wow...good call on the font change. The ( ' ) placed in line looks great....The font designers missed on that one. It looks much more in balance this way!

I also agree that dropping the REALTOR down is helpful....Let me know what you think!

Thanks again,
Paul

Hi,

I really like the changes you made to my last name. Thanks! Now however it kind of looks like my first name is bigger though? How can that be??? Or maybe it's the spacing between each letter that is making TRACY look larger than my last name???

And I'm thinking the mirroring below the fence icon was better the way you had it originally. It looks a bit too dark now.

I really appreciate and value your advise.

Tracy - Double checked the text. The size is correct. The spacing seems right for the font type...It may be an illusion based on the larger "T"

What I did here was slightly reduce the "T" while slightly enlarging the "O" (Not the "K")This may help to balance it.

I agree about the reflection. The original fade used is generally good for most applications. I will return it to that.

Refer to entry #182

Thanks!

Hi Paul,

Good call...I think your right about that optical illusion. I like how you slightly reduced the "T" and slightly increased the "O". One last request and then I think we are good to go.

Can you please size the "K" to be the same as the "O"?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the update. Hope you are safe!!!!

Regarding the tournament...do you know when I am obligated to declare the winning logo? I'm thinking it's tomorrow sometime? What if we have not finished everything by their deadline? I am hoping you can advise me since you have probably been thru this before.

I trust everything will work out as it should!

Tracy - Here ya go....As for the contest, they usually give you more time if needed. They like them to end in a timely manner, but they will work with you.

Thanks again for your patience...

Hi Paul,

I trust you found your way home safely?? Hope all is well with you!


#183--Love it!

Just to be clear...the "T" and the "O'K" are all one size (slightly larger) and "RACY" & "ANE" are all the same size (slightly smaller), right??

Tracy

Yes! Safe and sound!

Yes the font has been adjusted to make the T..O..K the same size. I think the key all along was reducing the size of the T it was to big in the earlier entries. The rest fell into place at that point.

To close the process simply

1.) select the winner.
2.) approve the final file that I upload after selected.
3.) (Optional): send me an e-mail where the rest of the files (Black background) can be sent...

Where are you located (City/State)? We like to keep a map of our customers who aren't local.
