Here are a few for you. Wow it's a small world...What are the odds?! I live in Magnolia.
There are some others that I am working on with more representation of the activities you describe. But I wasn't sure how busy you wanted the logo to be. If you are adding it to a gate or a large format the more busy it is, it will be hard for immediate recognition.
I will brainstorm some new ideas and also based on your notes in the contest brief.
The illustrations may be altered or added to. I can also do a rustic texture on any of these and in #58 the details of a rope may be added.
For you website you could have fine details and for wrought iron you could use solids.
Any of the designs may be changed or interchanged I will add others throughout the contest if you like, let me know what you would like to see.
I would like to see your ranch, would be a great idea, but with LT policy I can't communicate away from the contest site until the contest is 'completed'.
#64 Here is a different arrangement of the drawings. Any may be substituted.
Just a note, although the gray background compliments the design on the website, it is only as a representation.These backgrounds are contained as a square only for the contest. Your various applications such as website and printing will all need to have the backgrounds sizes and colors set to whatever you like the best.
Have a great day! I will check back to see if you have any notes. Let me know what I can do for you.
