We would like the word "Contracting" somewhere in the logo. See our original logo for an example.

In general, we would like to see more "powerful" and masculine-feeling logos. Don't worry so much about implementing the green/sustainability idea into the design in an obvious way; the specific green color we want is so associated with sustainability that it should be enough in itself. We need the actual design to signal commercial construction.

Remember, our company name is "DC Green, LLC" and that the LLC will have to be implemented in the logo's final form.

We have ranked logo #67 as number one because of the following:

We like the masculinity of this logo as well as the integration of the "green" leaf. It clearly projects building and construction in a powerful way while still expressing greenness and natural themes.
At this point we like this logo but are apprehensive to make a final decision as this contest still
has two days left until completion.

We look forward to seeing additional logos from all of you and additional designers that implement masculine commercial construction elements while putting a strong emphasis on the LEED element that distinguishes our construction company from normal builders.

Thanks for all your submissions and we look forward to seeing more from you all and others.

Guys/Gals,

Great job everyone! Too many great logo's.

Please note I have just uploaded a photo that I downloaded off the internet, please refer to contest breif. Can anyone incorporate sabal/cabbage palm frond/tree into their logos respectively? I just would like to see some different ideas with this image. Problably the more subtle the better but that is not going to be easy givin the texture of the leaf. Thanks!

Stay away from designs that look like house windows, please.
