#1 - I like the scripted lettering, but it does not make any use of a Compass style icon.
#2 - Dont care for the font and the flow of the compass does not look complete. It appears as if the E and X are to work together to form a circular base for the rose, but the compass rose is then offset and unbalanced.
I can try to add some color but then that depends on how you interpret luxury. Most hi-end logos that are luxury are simple clean and most times black white. Your name having Exotic Escapes to me is more adult oriented and no so much for kids. For example the one that someone else designed that's purple and orange and green looks like a kids zone almost Disney. That's just my opinion and I'm going off the slider description since I seen it leans more towards feminine and luxury. So I think Chanel, Prada, Coach, Vougue I won't be at my office the weekend but if you really want to see some color I can attempt to revise some stuff for you this weekend. I also own a print shop and seen that you might need so future work for your business and we do offer shipping to the U.S. If you have any examples or ideas feel free to let me know.
Thanks for the response Johnny, I just saw it. I get your point about the simple and clean with the black and white.
Most of our properties are based in Central America and mix the ocean and rainforest so bringing in some color I think tells a bit more about who we are.
Our brochures and collateral will have color and vivid bright imagery that is intended to make people feel their senses. A great example would be, I want the feel of using a matte paper of varnish coating a vivid photo on the page to give it a gloss "pop". Hope that made sense.
