I like the shiny, glowy look, somewhat metalic. Maybe a higly shined silver on a black background, or even a reverse of that. A Black metalic logo used on a red or white background.
Some Ideas about door, hearth, fence etc.
DOOR IDEA: black background,Red door opening, Bright light shining from door on to initials in a high gloss color (red or metalic). then name below. Door would be slightly to the left of the name with initials centered above. Name in red Real estate team in white.
HEARTH: (Fire Place) IDEA: Instead of the typical roof, try a Mantle over the name or like the door have a fireplace with a bright glow (as if fire is lit) then initials in front of the glowing embers. Keep design as simple as possible, meaning use only one color and maybe some shadowing for the fire place features. not a full on illustration.
GATE: An Iron gate with a simple curve on top with scrolling initials on it, maybe slightly ajar with name below, or with the name across it and little initial toppers. ???
KEY: Super Scrolly Font for the head of a skeleton key, name spelled out on the key (maybe the L's in russell could be part of the teeth (?!?!?) on the key. ??? Real estate team below
Emblem (?): just initals inside some sort of emblem, resembles iron wall art that is shaped into a scrolling design. Placement would be desided by the shape on the logo. if it is more horizontal then it goes above name. If it is more square, round, oval then could go the left of name (this could work well for Russell Realty Group in a triiple stack)
Ok that's alot of specific ideas. Feel free to play around with any of that, incorporate it into what you have already done, or totally throw it out and bring your own awesome ideas.
