Another good improvement on entry #25 however we're still not completely satisfied. Looking it over we have decided against the blue water. Can you use the farm scene from entry #3. Also can you darken the text to a slightly darker maroon? Entry #17 looks like it has a darker maroon but it may be deceptive to the eye.
Can you think of any other improvements? Is Farms just a little high in the logo? Or could the farm scene get moved up just a hair?

Thanks for the feedback, I will make these changes when I get back to my design computer later on tonight.

Here is the version with the other farm scene & darker burgundy letters. I also moved the farm scene up slightly.

I was thinking that the white outline on the burgundy letters was making them look lighter
so I made the outline the same color as the background of the 'wood'
Let me know what you think.

Yes we like #44.
1. Can you take that gold line out that is right under the farm scene.
2. Can you make the farm scene just a little darker green?
3. Can you move Farms down just a hair?
4. Can you make the 3 trees in the center of the farm scene bigger?

We are debating about Oak Creek needing to be a little bolder. Can you make the above changes then show us one with it bolder?

Thanks for the feedback.
Here is the latest version per your request...

Here is the same version with bolder 'Oak Creek' letters...

Oak Creek is still not bold enough. We want Oak Creek to stand out first and not Farms. Right now Farms is a little bigger and a little bolder. You can reduce the size on Farms a little but don't reduce the boldness. Can you increase the boldness on Oak Creek? Will you have to use a different font? If need be you can increase size a hair but not a lot.
Can you drop out the color out of the background? When I print this on my black & white laser printer I like how the woodgrain shows up a little but the rest is white. It almost appears like #17 but instead of cream background it is completely white. We're wanting to do that for the effect it will give when we put it on a label.

Please forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but is this what you had in mind as far as dropping out the
background color, making it white? I made the Oak Creek slightly bolder & Farms slightly smaller.

Here is a different font option for Oak Creek...

(This comment references Entry #64)

We like the white background. We want to stay with the font in #63 for Farms. We don't like the Oak Creek font in #64 & 65. Let's leave the fonts alone. The background is a little busy. We want it a little simpler but don't really like what you had in 3 or 17. Do you have any other options?

Thanks for the feedback, here are a few options with a less busy background.

Here is an option with a larger wwodgrain pattern, I feel this helps make it less busy...

Did you make the border fatter on #83? We're not sure if we like that. Can you show it to us in maroon in the border like it was on #82 as well as the fatter one?

Here is the corrected border as requested.

Can you change the Oak Creek to a darker maroon like PMS 216 and the green to a darker green like PMS 350? Thanks.

Here is the revised logo using PMS 216 & PMS 350 as requested.
Please let me know if you would like to see any other changes.
Thanks!
