Our Ideas and Additional Information:
check out our website at cooperswestins.com. We are currently using our building and our Brown Lettering on white or cream paper. I want to redesign it to be more modern and up to date, but our main office in Holtville is in an old western building - thus CoopersWest - which was built in 1905. I am looking for a logo or possibly a brand, like cattle would be branded with, that will be neat and clean and look sharp on business cards, letterhead, t-shirts, web ads, and give aways. I am trying to get the history of a business established in 1916 to meld with the new century, so it apeals to a broad base of professionals. Historical charm meets new century savy?

Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
Design #1 - This has potential. It is a little too round. I think I would prefer a darker choc. brown. The sign on our bldg is a rectangle with the four corners "scooped out" kind of like each corner is smiling. It has a dark choc. brown frame, cream background, and dark brown lettering. I think if I go this direction vs. a fancy CW lettering type western branding iron look, I would like the logo to look similar to our sign.
FYI - Our name - CoopersWest is all one word with a capital C and Capital W. Therefor if we did initials or branding iron type thing the letters to use are C W.

I have some appointments so I will be away from my computer for a couple of hours. I would like to know if everyone in the contest is available post contest to help if we need issues ironed out with our chosen logo or some changes post tournament. Thank you all for doing such a great job.... I am in awe of your talent! Blessings, Laura Goodsell
I want to thank you all again for all of your hard work. When we were directed to this site by our Web Consultant, I had no idea what to expect. I also didn't realize how hard it would be to make a decision. I love many of the offerings for many different reasons. This isn't going to be an easy decision. My husband and I will prayerfully consider all the entries and try to make a decision today. Please understand that this insurance agency has been in this community for 93 years. We have owned it for almost 4. I need to decide whether or not we are going in a new, bold, fresh direction or remain in sink with the more traditional/classic look. Rest assured that I do appreciate everyone's effort on our behalf and I wish I didn't have to pick one, but I do. Again, thank you for your hardwork and effort. You are all very talented. That is evidenced by the awesome work on display here. I wish you all well in your endeavors. Blessings, Laura
