Here is an cool example... I don't think we can incorporate re/max or the balloon into the logo but this is a cool example: (

I definitely do not want a standard house that you see in the majority of realtor logos... with the cartoon looking houses... I probably would like something more realistic or architectural. It also doesn't necessarily have to have a house... I'm fine with looking at playing with just my company name or initials to a degree.. though I initially think I would like something with an image as the focal point.
