One Source Property Maintenance, Inc.Logo Design Contest

ATTENTION Designers:

I have worked with a local graphic artist last year and this year. I can not seem to get the look and feel for a logo I want that will last. I will try to log on and provide as much detail, and answer as many questions as I can to help. Thanks for entering the contest! We hope for the best, and GOOD LUCK!

... also, The name of my business as you can see is ONE SOURCE Property Maintenance, Inc... Long name I know, this is something maybe you can consider making easier.... please feel free to use as much creativity as you like to win! The main idea behind my business is we are an "Outside" Property Maintenance Business, We specialize in Lawn and Landscape projects with both Commercial and Residential customers, We also handle Foreclosure clean ups by removing outside debris on properties. We remove outside vegetative "overgrowth" with man power, tools, and machinery. We make a great attempt to get the property looking better so it can be sold or rented. We mow, and maintain lawns, build landscapes, trim palm trees, plant sod, service irrigation systems, pressure wash driveways, and patios etc. as well as provide other outside "Green Industry" services, We are located In North West Florida, USA, there are a few other business' that do this type of work in this area, but are not as well known, like I want to be. We do not do any maintenance on the inside of the property as of yet. Hope this helps. Thanks!

** UPDATE TO THIS POST- We want customers to know we can do almost anything concerning outside lawn, landscape and grounds keeping and palm tree service; there are many palms here.... We want customers to understand they can make one call to us and we will get it done!

If you wish to add our slogan to better the spacing of the design and compliment the logo here are some ideas we're considering using:

One Source, One Goal... Your Property!

Cutting Edge Quality and Service!

Thanks

The entries so far are a start. "Please notice I have increased the prize amount by a little to show my interest in getting a logo that is sharp, unique, and in a one way or the other, shares a clear idea to people about who we are, and what we do. We are outside property maintenance. Though we are small we want to have a larger than life appearance, after all this is a logo we wish to keep for years to come. Something that in 10 years will look just a fresh and recognizable as it does today. I want my business to be known by its logo, like Nike is for the swoosh, UPS is for their crest, or AT&T for their globe. Most of the major name brands have something that is unique to them, to their geographical area perhaps... Remember, this is Florida, the "Sunshine State", it gets really hot and humid in the spring and summer months, and sometimes well into the fall, which is when we are out working the most. All though the black and orange colors stand out and look good, black clothing on a hot day is hard to handle as it quickly absorbs heat. White might work, but seems to bland to pop. The leaves, above the name, in these first entries do not seem to convey the idea completely. Please let me know if the example files were uploaded to give you an idea of what I'm looking for.... Keep in mind previous year's logo was a "Rising Sun" . Good luck, and thanks for participating.

Good luck!

I need my design to be a little simpler than the entry in which I have so ranked 2nd so far. I don't want it to be to busy as this would not catch the customer eyes when I'm driving down the road. I like the boldness and simplicity of the design ranked # 1,of my company name, but instead of the 4 leaves above the half circle, try a rising sun with rays bursting out with a warm a "realistic" feel, and look. Maybe the house idea is good that depict commercial and residential work, and a bolder more serious palm would be preferred, something that looks more like in does in this area of Florida. not so artsy, more serious" so customers see that, "get down to business look" want to call us for work not coffee. Thanks for your entries, I hope you continue to try and win! I need more submissions........

Attention Designers:

Think boldness! Think strong! think ONE SOURCE! and keep in mind the colors we choose will be worn on apparel in HOT summer months.... Heres an Idea try a design that is "OS" our initials, and build a logo around that.... just a thought

Keep it up. I am the type of client that likes the logo to "scream" what we do in a "simple" but "powerful" format! there are two designers competing now. competition is good, it makes it all a little more fun. Please read my posts, ask all the question you need to and keep submitting there is still over 4 days remaining. I like the O because I can put it on virtually any color of clothing I think. Now focus on whats on the inside of the O. The Palm, the house the SUNRISE needs to look as realistic as possible, try put a slight glow behind it perhaps. the more submissions the better chance of victory! The "O" or circle represents One Source. I like the house in the circle, the Palm, the grass and the Sunrise! try working on this design and perfecting the style as I mentioned above. I think we are getting somewhere. Thanks for your effort, and keep pushing forward!

Admin Note: Contest Extended. Client needs more time to work with some of the designs that came in near the end.

ATTENTION DESIGNERS:

Good News in 2 ways!

1) I requested an extension for a few extra days because there were some good designs that came in near the end. I like several and needed the extra time to make a fair decision on the ranking. We've received some good concepts and ideas! We have a few more days to perfect it... Please keep them updated, and coming in.

2) To show my appreciation, I have increased the prize amount for those interested in continuing their participation or competing with this current contest. Thanks again, and we look forward to working with you!

TIME IS TICKING AWAY....

you see who is in the running... after much thought, comments and feedback... I have figure out that I like an emblem better... also referred to as a seal in some of my feedback. For those designers who are going to send in designs at the last minute, give it your best shot!! Think of a business that is a company that wants customers to MAKE ONE CALL to ONE COMPANY, for ALL their OUTSIDE PROPERTY NEEDS and no matter how big the job is, if we don't do it ourselves, we will get it done!! Think of a rising sun, with bursting rays, think strong, think big, think ONE SOURCE!

best of luck to all and its been an interesting contest, its anybody's game... DON'T GIVE UP!
