Yes. That won't be a problem. Although you are in judging mode and only the 1st ranked design and submit designs. Let me know how I can help. Thanks! -Brian
The link is of a real estate company that works in one of our markets with an extremely similar name and now an extremely similar logo. The name of the company is not the issue as companies in real estate typically have similar names, but we cannot have that similar of a logo. We need to come up with some different designs. We will also need to get rid of the color. We are thinking something neutral gray, cream, brown, dark green, etc. Also, the name red cedar is in reference to the river at Michigan State University where all of the partners of the brokerage attended. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I think the tree is ok. I mean they're both called "Red Cedar" and both use an illustration of a cedar tree. The illustrations are quite different as far as trees in logos are concerned. The one in the link is more of an abstract mark using a squiggly line, where we used a more realistic rendering.
I think the just changing the changing the font and altering the layout will differentiate them enough that they could not be mistaken for the other.
It's probably easiest if I email you some font and layout options to you directly. That way I can place them all on one slide and you can view them all together , rather than fragmented here on LT. It also makes things more efficient on my end because I won't have to save and upload 15 different variations :) .
Shoot me an email to brian@raleighbrands.com and I can have the revisions to you today.
