To dasx, Entries 18-20: I actually kind of like what you've done here. It's a totally different take on what I had been thinking. However, in this case I think we need to go with something not quite so aggressive. Something more inviting and friendly but I hesitate to say "cutesy". Maybe even cheery would be a good word. I'm also concerned about the black background because we'll be doing yard signs and I'm not sure how they would look being so dark. Also, our webpage will be on squarespace so I'm not sure how a logo with a black background would work on it.
as you said its a different take. It can be certainly be made to be more cute and friendly. I just wanted to show that there can be another way. A hint of tech with the honeycomb and the home sweet home honey bee. The idea just needs to be rendered differently.
I will soften it up and post some new ones. The background isn't part of the logo. Its just a surface for presentation but I will show on white going foreword.
Also, would it be possible to have the Nest Realty, LLC script moved under the logo design? We're trying to do vertical business cards instead of the traditional horizontal layout and I think it would fit better positioned that way.
if there is particular style of illustration you like please feel free to show it to me. I will play with a couple others and give some font options. Please let me know when I've gone off the deep end :)
