Logo Designer
Hello there,

I hope you like my concepts. I am happy to mix and match or make any changes. Thanks!

Thank you Kyro ~ I love the concept of #52, tho the graphics seem a bit 'dated'. It does capture the 'stage'

Because of the nice clean lines in #59 I have to move that into my Top 5. Can we try a more 'feminine' font to balance the sharp lines of the graphic? Thanks for your effort

#71 looks great, thanks for the follow up. What do you think about more of a 'Papyrus' in Bold type font?

Logo Designer
Thanks. I personally don't think Papyrus gives the elegant look you are looking for but you are the boss :) If you want to see it I can show it to you. I just wanted to make sure the subtlety of #71 shows up being that it is an arrow pointing up as well as a house using modern shapes and simple colors and lines.

I also updated #72.

Thanks.

Kyro: I guess the arrows are very subtle ~ because I don't see them ? I feel bad you might have spent any time on that because,
In any case no upwards pointing is necessary as in this case it is a play on words: Straight Up being used together (as in, No BS) and Upstaging (as in the competition), so denoting up direction is moot in this logo. I can see where a designer might like to have tried to incorporate. ( I've left it in my design choice #1/1st entry because the whole logo is So Simple)

#59 & 71 are so alike (preferring 59 it's so much clearer), if we can find the right font style to showcase, I can see myself having this as my brand. I agree with you in that It's clean, elegant, conveys the message I'm trying to get across... Thanks again for your contribution

Thanks for the feedback. I went a different direction with the font in #75. I also added an exclamation point but I can get rid of it if you like.

The actual design is like one big arrow. Imagine the 4 windows as one piece with the up arrow/roof on top :)

Let me know what else I can do. Thanks.

Oh, very clever with the arrow theme, I see it now. Again, the emphasis is NOT on the UP as it takes away from the double entendre I have intended.

Same reason the exclamation point can't be used. I spent a lot of thought over naming my company.

#59 is still my favorite of your contributions... the only improvement would be in finding the right font.
I couldn't ask you to come up with anything new, I like That One, it's just . . .
The changes that you've made, while appreciated don't seem very contemporary to me.
In a custom logo, I am looking for something quite original. The fonts you are using seem so 70's (to me)
thanks again.

I uploaded a few more font options. Been trying to find a modern, somewhat feminine font to fit the design. Look forward to more of your feedback.

thanks

yet you won't use what I asked for, that's so curious?
#80 looks good, I'm going to put that in the Top 5, Thanks!

papyrus font in #82 :)

Client
I think that looks great! It's a nice mix of Playful / Elegant, my two strongest requests.
Thank you! I'm curious why you are resistant, from your professional point of view? Talk to me!
And thanks!

and it's got a touch of that Asian, feng shui (spelling?) look. Nice! It's my #1 Today ~

Logo Designer
Thanks for the first rank! It was just a personal preference but after seeing it, I think it actually works. Let me know if you want to see anything else.

Can we BOLD the font. (more balance in the overall, I know we can't go for a true rectangle) otherwise that looks great

PS: Nice touch on switching to adding lower case, it's more easily legible

in #87, I bolded both fonts and also slightly darkened the red...

A bolder bow and possible to make the lettering fit so that is is a balanced rectangle? I plan on having patches embroidered for uniforms.

Let's make better use of the total space available for us, please.

Logo Designer
how about #96? If I make the text too much bigger it looks really off balance and the icon gets lost a bit. let me know what you think.

thanks

OIC...
a friend just pointed out (which I didn't see) that with the bow, we lose The House moltif. Please reference my new ranking...

Logo Designer
Ok, so do you not want a bow at all or do you want me to try to work it into the house as I did in #91? The bow might make the design a bit busy also. Let me know.

Thanks!

Client
Thanks for asking: Let's see if we can tweak #91:
Make the house white, with black borders
eliminate the accessories
Possible to fit it down closer to the size of fonts? (it needn't be 2 stories)
-or- use the larger sized font from #96

Can we then take the big pretty bow from 96 and style it on the house silhouette as in 91?
this should look like a house presented as a present / gift.
i think that should do it for all your efforts... Your designs are very popular amongst my friends!
