Hi... thanks for submitting! You have no way of knowing this - however my friend has a company that has almost the exact same logo (the curl). We seem to be leaning towards the clean, sleek look in our top-ranked entries. Would you consider submitting something along those lines?
The idea is obviously the classic building icon but with the flourish added to denote fine design. I kept it clean and sleek for immediate readability and recognition.
#58 has potential.... can you try some variations? Also... the colors are a little off - They seem muted and they don't jump out at me. We're staying with warm colors. I think the serif/formal look of #59 isn't what we're going for. Think of a warm friend rather than a pretentious businessman. Thanks!!
The arc is an abstract illustration of being covered as in a structure of some sort. The leaf represents the life inside as well as imagery for the landscape portion of your business.
Thanks for the revisions. The leaf insinuates that all we do is landscape, when that's a part of our business. People tend not to read (which is why we have to thrust the tag-line in their face in the logo). I think a leaf would just make it too confusing.
