Thanks for the submissions. Submissions 2 & 3 aren't my style. # 4 does have a certain appeal. I'm thinking possibly a different font that comes off a little more elegant, but still easy to read. I think I would like to see if an image of an interior shutter could be used in the place of the second E in Abilene. Or maybe an image that is set behind the name. Thanks!
# 5 is appealing. The font adds class to the name. The horizontal shading behind the name is on the right track. However, I would like to see a different image, one that looks more like a shutter panel. Please look at the following link and use a similar image to one of the shutter panels in the link.

Another idea I would like to explore is to have the second E in Abilene Blinds be a shadow look of a blind or shutter. Thanks for your artistry. It is definitely appreciated.
# 73 is on the right track. It is quite appealing, and shows the elegance aim looking for. Please show me more ideas that build on this design. Thanks.
