Josh, yours is a great design, # 13. How do you think it would look if we needed a version that did not include the tag line? Right now your logo is very well balanced, but I know that there will be instances where we'll need just the logo and no tag line. I'm not ready to post this comment openly yet, until I can eliminate a few more entries. But I wanted you to think about this as soon as possible. Thank you for your submissions.
Thanks for the feedback and the rankings! Here is a slightly revised edition that, I believe, can work with or without the tagline. By adding the additional line embellishment on top, it makes the "residential" more of a visually-solid "base". I also decreased the hammer/wrench graphic by 10%, so it won't appear as top-heavy if no tagline is present.
Here's a version with gold line embellishment. I kinda liked how it subtly encases "residential" in gold - like it's protecting it. I also think WAY too much...haha
