I like both of these. Entry number one I really like a lot. A thought I have is that I run my business in Colorado. When I saw what you did with the MM image the Rocky Mountains hit me. I was wondering if you could do something to retain the MM image but incorporate the mountains image as well.
I need to let you know what part of my intent is. I am transitioning from being what we call a captive agent with Allstate Insurance Company. I am not sure if you are in the U.S. or not but that means that is the only company I can represent. I will be starting an Independent Agency soon and will be representing over 70 companies. Because I will have a 12 month non-compete with Allstate when I leave I will need for my customers to FIND ME. They can solicite me, but I can't solicite them for 12 months. So, I will be doing mass mailings with post cards to zip codes and display ads in the local newspaper. Also, if one of my goals is a display ad. What do you think of different colors that will attract more attention? I am not hung up on blue and grey at all. In fact, now that I look at all the designs it looks a little boring.
