I like the positioning of the letters for "guest house". i also like the use of lower case letters for the word "the". not so sure of the color. not sold on the letter logo. as for the word "park" that might look good if it was somehow threaded in cursive around the words "guest house" or something like that. so as to show some curved lines and make everything a bit softer. hope that helps. this is more difficult than i thought it was going to be.
I've asked several friends to begin judging and weighing in on the entries to the contest. Some of their feedback is provided below for each of the entries received. I've also extended the contest by one week. I will provide as much feedback as possible so that the designers have information to work with and can make alterations. And just because I move your entry into the "not interested" column doesn't mean I'm not interested in your work. I'll still submit feedback in the comments section so that you know where my thoughts are, but I will try and keep the ranking to a smaller number. Thanks to everyone for their efforts. Some very cool stuff being created.
#7 - People seem to like the blocking of the letters of the words "GUEST HOUSE" and how they are stacked. I'm kinda leaning toward this more in lieu of having them stretched on one line. But I'm not a fan of the letter logo. And it seems to dwarf the lettering. And as you will see in one of the other comments, I'm trying to get away from my original request of using brown and teal. I still like them together but the logo doesn't support the look as well. I've been impressed with the color combinations that people have come up with.
#19, #20, and #27 - A little too busy. Too many components to this logo. I do like the alignment of the "the guest house on park" in #19 a great deal!!!!
#42 - Could the text "on park" be right justified below "house"? Can we see the signet without the box around it? And could we look at a couple of other colors in lieu of red? Perhaps a light green?
