I think you are on the right track with #56, but we would like something closer to the Caslon Antique font, and a home graphic that doesn't necessarily take up the entire image area.
I like #64. I think you have gone a little too far with the clean edges on the house. Would still want something a little rough around the edges to compliment the font.
I think you are also on to something with #65, like the house in the circle, maybe without the outer circle? Also taking note of complimenting the house logo with the font.
Really like the direction you are going with #81, #80. I think the window frame within the "P" is a unique idea, but I'm not sure I'm loving it. I like the house icon in #81, but not sure if the lines need to intersect with any of the lettering...if that makes sense. Maybe a little tighter also.
That's cool. My favorite is still #86. It might look cool if the house didn't surround the text, but was the background. Ie. the text would extend beyond the side walls of the house so as to appear larger...
Thanks for making that change for me in your latest entry. I guess my preference at this point is to see an image apart from the text, so that nothing overlaps.
I really like #129 and #128. I really like the idea of combining a paint brush with a house image in #129, it is clear to me, but may need a bit more detail to convey that idea to a general audience.
Thanks, I think I like the overall design of the brush in #129 a little better as well as the alignment with the text, but you are on the right track with adding more details.
#128 is still a favorite of ours, but we are interested in seeing it with the dots above the i's lowered down to a more normal position rather than raised up. We are also interested in seeing this logo using the base color "Picholine" from the link in the main comment section.
Thanks for that update. I like the idea you had in #163. I like how the line underneath "Painting" acts as the break between the bristles of a brush and the handle. One thought I have is instead of centering the brush image under the text, if it moved to the left third of the text space and instead of a roofline on top, was either straight across, or slightly angled upwards like an angled sash brush. Also, not extending all the way to the other side of the text, but stopping right above the "t" in "the." Just a thought, sorry if I am not communicating it very well, please let me know if I can clarify.
Thanks for the update. I was actually thinking that the base of the brush would only go to roughly a little over half of the text, with the handle area being basically right underneath the "cra" of "craftsmen"
