Great first try! Please throw a couple more designs at this contest. I loved your logo!
The color(s) need to be gray-blue - steel blue - more gray than bright.
Can you move the gentle "wave" right through the letters forming "House" our something of the sort?
I also love the designs that use lower case "ouse" and upper case "H" and "O" and subscript "2" - the 2 could be smaller. Could the "O" could convey a "valve" somehow instead of a gear?
Instead of a fountain of water, can we have a single drop falling instead?
Might also want to incorporate the on-off switch icon - that design element does a great job conveying what our product does (turns off a water valve if there is a leak in the home).
Thank you for contributing so many artful and time-consuming designs for our contest.
Picking a tournament winner has never been so difficult (or heart-wrenching) because we knew we could only reward three designers! It's inhumane. I apologize we could not reward you all. All of the designs submitted were worthy of being ranked at the top.
You are a gifted artist and we appreciate you sharing your passion with us!
