Hello sbrugman,
Thank you for the ranking and the feedback. Admittedly, I caught this contest with very little time, and entered in hopes of making it to Top 5. Fortunately, I did which now buys me a bit of time. First of all, I have to say thank you for breaking out of the red or blue roofline cliché real estate logo. They are so in demand, but in terms of branding, I fail to see how one brands themselves, by blending in with everyone else. :)
I took a look at the websites you linked, and read your brief and thought I'd try to blend a bit a feel of luxury but not stuffy while still maintaining a modern feel. (BTW - I'm not familiar with that area of Tennessee, but it looks absolutely stunning.) Besides that comment above, please let me know if you rather I simplify the drawing. Also, any other thoughts or suggestion are always welcome, be it a color change, change of fonts... you name it.
Thanks again and I look forward to any additional feedback you may have.
