CarmelcrestLogo Design Contest

Two C's form a house shape.
a simple, iconic, modern and memorable logo.
I noticed you asked for trees / leaves from some other designers to put forth a green image and while i understand, i think that including that sprt of imagery can be very confusing to potential customers, to me it makes it look like either a lanscaping company or some sort of enery / eletricity company.
i went for a different approach and used soft, lowercase letters and a brightly (green) coloured icon to portray the same, green / caring and approachable image but in a much more unique and memorable way.
any feedback would be great,
thanks!

Hi ya Bugy,

Thanks

Yes ok...i see where you are going. i need a few houre with it. Its different from the other designs. Ill get back to you soon.

Cheers Mate :-)

how about we try the house in deep green, and the word in red? what do you think?

ive looked at it a lot today, and im liking 81 a fair bit.

Cold you think of something to give it that extra something. may be proportions,maybe colours??

good morning. Ok Ok bugy...you got me liking 81 a lot now....need to sort colours?

Ray

Im thinking strong green for house and strong red carmelcrest?

Ok ok...we are all liking 81!

just so we are absolutely sure...can you do us some variations please?

Regards

Ray

hey ray,
sorry about the delay in replying to your posts.
regarding the colours, i chose these because they are bright as well as soft, i think this is a better option as it gives the logo a friendly, approachable feel. Using strong or dark colours portrays more of a stark, big faceless company sort of feel to me which doesn't fit with the overall style of the logo.
do keep in mind that i did create a lot of different versions of this logo, playing with the shapes, the colour and the type to perfect it before i uploaded, rest assured that ive given you the best option that i could =)

in this version i simply added a chimney, gives it more of a homely feel, let me know f you prefer this option or not.

thanks!

No bugy....81 is still the master! it says who we are every time we look at it!

if we go with your design bugy, which to be fair is winning by a considerable wy at the moment.

can we have the green area reduced in size. not much, but closer to the logo? will we be able to crop this?

yea that wont be a problem, i can sort you out with all different sizes, colour variations and file types once the contest is over.
that's all part of the process before you approve the final files and release the prize money =)

hi ya bugy,

we tried the design on a piece of headed paper yesteday,and it doesnt work with he green background. it looks like a blob on the page.

may have to consider white background and a colour. what do you think.i like green, but would it be too weak with white background?

ps nice beard :-)

i looking at 80 again now...need to see t on headed i guess

i dont know...just to humour me...could you do one in Blue the house, and red the word. this is our old colours. may look better as a stand alone?

more colours options,

to follow on from my PM's the best way to do this is choose a full colour version on a white background and then should i win with that logo i will go ahead and create the monotone (white on colour) and black and white versions

another colour option
personally i stlll think the green suits the company mission more but you know the company better than i do and its your opinion that counts =)

(This comment references Entry #214)

and a blue and red version as requested,
i cant help but be honest, i really don't like this, it doesn't fit with what i was aiming for with the overall logo.
ie; its not very friendly or approachable

colour revision as requested,
see my PM for my thoughts
