Sycamore Custom HomesLogo Design Contest

I'm not sure how to take the comment you posted. Did I suggest that I'm looking for a generic logo?

No, not you, just the link. On this site alone you will see dozens and dozens of already sold designs that hav multiple roofllines.

I like #86. I think I'd prefer to see the leaf inside another shape. the box shaped house (pentagon), seems too simple. I also like the darker red tone, you used... almost a crimson or burgandy.

Sure, see #87. Can also do square.

love #87!!

Thanks!

I'd be curious to see some options with font. I still feel there may be a font that may make it feel a bit more Elegant or High-end. Any thoughts?

I will try some others. You like serif or san-serif?

not sure about the exact font. I'll know it when i see it. sorry i can't be more help. I do like the "high-end" feel of some of the logos on the link.

What's the logo font you like best on that link? I know I can do something close, just need direction.

I guess I like Serif better. This one is clean, sleek, elegant, high-end.

Maybe part of it is the color combo i picked. Try black and silver.....

Thanks, that's an elongated version of the font in #87, I'll try another font and then also do black version.

I also like the Stillwater Unlimited and the Chymera ones at the top.

maybe just adding the little detail like what is under the "chymera" logo would kick it up a bit.

what if you took entry #92 and shrunk the width on "custom homes" and added the little marks like on the Stillwater Unlimited logo from that link I sent?

See #94. I think the fewer elements the more elegant it looks, but see what you think.

I tend to agree. is it possible to make the "arrows" the same color as the "custom homes" and make them thinner?

See #98 and #99 with and without arrows

hard to say which one is best. i think we're splitting hairs now. looks nice. I really like it against the black background. I shows the versatility of the design.

I will submit something tomorrow with icon at left, you can use it that way, too.

#104 is a nice alternative. I don't think it bumps my top 2 favorites (89 & 92)

It's really just something to show you how it would look if you had to print it on something long and thin, like a pen or promo item.

Now you're going to see a lot of individual sycamore leaves in various shapes because that's what you have ranked first, but since I was first to introduce the single leaf others are not supposed to copy according to LT rules. They're supposed to be doing something unique.

good to know. this is my first time using LT. one guy did make that point, when I mentioned that I liked the "iconic" Sycamore leaf. He said you used it first and didn't want to copy. So, I think people are trying to respect that.

Lots of new CHs aren't aware of that, most of the designers are. Some will do it anyway because they will claim that the CH asked for it. But when a concept is first introduced by another designer most designers will respect it.

If you wanted the leaf behind the type you could have asked me, but I didn't do that because it kills the versatility of the logo. You can't use the icon alone.

Also, #120 is a basic ripoff of my #87. This isn't allowed.

Sorry #120 and #88

good point on the versatility. I do like the font used on #122, also.

Also, as the other designer pointed out, no other designers should be using the leaf. If you want the leaf developed further I can keep working on it for you. Other designers will submit things I shouldn't copy.

I can use the font of #122

If I don't take the designers who is copying my concept to logo court, it will only encourage a free for all of individual leaves. You won't get nearly as many new ideas. There will be mostly leaves.

can you toy with the font on #89 and maybe throw mix in a gray with the black and the white?

I can, but I may have to take the designer who is copying me to logo court.

I agree. I'd be happy to work with you on the leaf. I do like some of the fonts that others are using. I also would rather see more variety. 30 takes on the same logo doesn't help me. I threw out the idea of trying to incorporate the "fruit" from the Sycamore.

I can use any commercially available font you want. That's allowed. Fonts are free for all unless the designer makes them custom.

i love your leaf style logo like #141. I also love the clean crisp feel of font on #123. Can you change the font on one of yours to give it that feel?

I will when I get to my desktop. Thanks!

Sorry to remove entries, but because of serious family circumstances I will not be able to do justice to your contest, especially with an untrue accusation of a traced logo. I have contacted administration to offer to provide them with the file that shows it is not a trace. Even if they respond and try to help, I may not be able to follow up. Very sorry, thank you.

I am very sorry to here this. Most of your entries were inline with my style and vision for the logo. I hope there is some way to change your decision.
