Welcome! I grew up In the Sarasota area, so I hope I can bring a familiar feel to the contest.
#12 is a badge style logo and is the newest trend in logos and is really fitting for your business. It has a bit of an art deco feel which is appropriate. This also fits nicely as a facebook/social media icon and is perfect for signs.
#13 and #14 are nice clean designs that speak well to what you do.
#15 - This shows the badge on an alternate color. unlike most logos that will only work on limited backgrounds, this one works literally on any color, because the white portion separates it from the background.
Hi Paul, I like the entry #12. I'd like to see "Luxury Homes" have a bit more flare. Also, I'm now leaning toward a red and black version. Can you do #12 in black and red with "Luxury Homes" as you have it now and also with "Luxury Homes" with a bit more flare, although that might take away from the art deco feel? #13 and #14 are clean but perhaps too clean. Although I would like to see #13 in black and red with a "Luxury Homes" as is and with more flare and with "Florida Realty LLC" slightly larger.
I was very satisfied with the design I chose. There was nothing else that could have topped it. The designer presented me with dozens of options and made several changes tweaking the designs I liked until I had one that met my needs.
