White Pass Village InnLogo Design Contest

I think this is the best from you so far, and don't really have any suggestions for how to improve it. Nicely done.

Hello,
here are the revisions you requested.
Let me know what you think.
Thank you
Elena K.

Also, maybe remove the highest of the three lines that connote stairs to reduce clutter of lines a bit. Two lines harmonious with 2 lines on each of the peaks. ??

Ok, this is our new favorite of yours. What color are you using for the text/lines? They still look bluish gray and wish they were brighter. Maybe swap the size of the font of White Pass with the size of the font of Village Inn, make village inn bigger than white pass?

bolder graphic as well.
Let me know what you think.
Thank you!
Elena K.

even higher contrast here

Thank you for your guidance. Here is the revision in higher contrast + house more like a mountain

Hi, thanks for sticking with us. We still really like this, but one idea is to try something where the house concept actually becomes one of the several mountain peaks rather than something in the foreground. We continue to want to see greater color contrast between the background and the design, and need the design to pop more, seems too muted. Either lighter shade of color and/or larger pixel size of lines/text needed. Village Inn could be larger, too. Thanks again for working on this.

I understand :-) These font options are free and you can use them on web as well. Hope you like them!

The lighter background is our favorite. We wanted to end up with fonts that could be replicated on headers and within the design of our website and on our printed materials so there is a consistent theme. But we really like the font you have used, just maybe a bit bolder or lighter color or both so it is easy to read at a glance.

and the same on lighter background. The font is free for commercial use but I do not think there is an embed option for using it at your website. I will try other free fonts as well but in the meantime please let me know about the background and the linear work.
Thank you
Elena K.

I am very glad you like it. Here is a revision

Elena - That is really good. What would make it even better: Lines slightly larger pixel size to make words pop a little more. The three horizontal lines are intended to evoke stairways or climbing into the beyond, and if each line in ascent was slightly shorter, it would give more of an illusion of being increasingly distant. I do not know what font you used but would like fonts used to be widely available and free for use. Maybe make the text row with Village Inn a bit larger (but not sure on that.) Background color just a bit lighter?

Thank you for your feedback. Here a more linear version. Let me know what you think.
Thank you

Hey thanks, that is a fun piece of work. The sense of a compass face is interesting idea. FYI, though, we just updated our listing to make it more clear that we are really looking for something much more simple, maybe even leaning toward minimal. We did a sketch of what we mean by simple to give a better idea of what we are thinking about. Plain fonts, clean simple lines, no complicated graphic elements. So for example your mountain is lovely but probably too complicated. And the curly cue font, we just want a simple font using something widely available and free so that we can easily replicate fonts in printed customer materials, etc.
