The Loudon House CondominiumsLogo Design Contest

Hi All,

The client asked for an extension over the weekend.

Hi All,

The holidays are a busy time ... the client asked again for your patience and extended.

another extension???

I am so sorry but we still do not feel we have found our logo.

I have increased the prize by $200 to $575.

We need completely different ideas.

Think rich. Think Country Club.

Thank you!!

Hi,
Perhaps you could update the brief

- Examples of logos you like.
- Font examples.
- What you don't want in the logo, sometimes it's easier to specify want you don't want rather than what you do.
- Do you still prefer a illustrative logo (as in your current top ranked choices).
- Are you open to a simpler logo, one that works as single colour as well as multiple colours.

Providing as much info as possible will help you get the logo you want.

Thanks

History of Loudonville, NY.
Loudonville was originally a 19th century summer resort for some of Albany's wealthiest residents.
The hamlet is named after a Scottish Nobelman, John Campbell, 4th Earl of Loudoun.

I found the Coat of Arms of John CampbellL http://www.vareview.com/mag/JF07/imgs/on3.jpg
Perhaps some 'inspiration' can come from that. Please don't use those drab, dreary colors, though.

Logo:
We have tried many version of the building. It's just not working. A simpler yet elegant logo will probably be better. It needs to have something identifiable, though - not just the name.

Most of the people moving into this condo will be older, country club member types. Perhaps trying a more traditional 'emblem'-like logo may work. A Loudon House "Crest"?

It would be better if the logo could work with a cingle color when needed.

For more inspiration...

I found another image of the Earl's Arms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earl_of_Loudoun_arms.svg

Please note that I am not going to be ranking right away, anymore. I found people were being swayed too much by the rankings.

I will give feedback individually for a bit to keep the FRESH ideas coming.

Thank you all for your hard work!

This is the Campbell Tartan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Black_Watch_or_Campbell_tartan.png

More inspiration:
The Loudoun Flag: http://www.billlouden.com/loudounflag.jpg

The ones with the crowns and wings look too much like a car emblem.

Sorry.

I don't mind seeing what a logo will look like in all black for misc. printing purposes, but we won't be choosing one that is mostly black. We would like color.

thank you

Since the condos were originally designed after George Washington's home, Mt. Vernon, his coat of arms could be used for inspiration also: http://www.google.com/search?q=george+washington+coat+of+arms&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=l5JqUdKoDdHV0gHZj4C4Cw&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAA&biw=1024&bih=672
