i like the flat table from the top ones with the sitting and standing people from the bottom ones.
as far as colors - have you done any reading up at all on what emotions and such different colors bring up in people? you probably want to be conscious of that (green=money=success, etc)

I like 1 better, as I think the depth of the table gives it that "your looking at this from your seat" perspective that you're going for.
But I like both much more than the original. |

Better IMO.
My own strictly personal preference at first blush was the square logo version but my professional preference is pretty strongly to the round version within 60 seconds of starting at them. The square looks too much like an app button while the round is more traditional & I want stable if I'm looking for help with real estate. I hate the light green, I dislike the orange almost as much. Both colors tend to wash out visually in sunlight & especially in shades as light as these, they also don't hold usually up as well over time (I'm assuming you're going to reuse yard signs for as long as they look good). A darker blue would probably have won me over but it's also a little light for my taste, so that leaves the round red one as my pick. A couple of things though, make sure he shows you a b&w version as well (is he planning to just all black the text or is he going to set off the "table" portion somehow in the b&w rendition as well?). Also, I'd probably want to see an all-black text version with the red logo as well, just to see how it strikes you when you mock it up onto signs & such. Might also consider a ROUNDTABLE (all black), Realty (in red) variation as well.

Much better.
I like #1 better. As Jon mentioned, it looks kind of like an app and, to me, it seems a bit more tidy and (obviously) more welcome (due to the open arms and table perspective). I actually like the green one the best. |

Incidentally, what's the primary target age group for the business (everything else about FL real estate seems to be very specific to the area so I'm not even going to try to guess).
Whatever answer you give me, I'd see if I could show the logo to at least 10 women in that age demo who have no vested interest in the process & see if they've got a strong opinion . Women drive real estate & you need to appeal to them most critically. 6-4 on a micro impromptu focus group would mean diddly squat, a 10-0 answer on the other hand would give me some pause about my choice either way.

Jon's got a good point there
And the "3 round circles" thing just doesn't...excite me at all. very neutral

Mostly just meh to the second batch, not horrible & I could even see the colors having a certain "Florida feel" to them but the best thing about them is that they reminded me how much I disliked rectangular logos for your purposes and how much insight about compatibility with likely uses the square format of the new ones showed on the part of the second designer.

I don't like any of the ones in post #8. The circles don't do anything for me, and do you really offer real estate across the entire continental U.S.?
Anyhow, I really like the blue logo in #2 in the first post. The green looks like it's too..."green" (i.e. Earth Day). The red looks too angry. Orange doesn't look good either. I'd go with Jon and make it be a darker blue and it'd be perfect. They look modern and eye-catching. |

Of the set in post #8, I like #2 pretty well. I think it is a pretty sharp logo, actually, but I still like the first set better for your profession.

Bump for day crowd since Were coming to decision time
I actually want to boil it down to 2, revote & take it to more people for input ie. A market study. ..a brief one. One of the above vs. The rings on 8.

None of the logos in #8 do it for me at all. I preferred #1 at the top, but I think either one of the top two selections would work for you.

I'm not sure why everyone likes the square logos in post #1, to me the round ones are far nicer and more professional looking. The table in the square one looks really cheap and cheesy to me.

I don't like the #8 logos at all.
The roundedness of #2 looks better and better the more I look at it.

I like these logos better than any of the ones you have shown before.
I like the round ones a lot better than the square ones. And I like the green color the best. Soothing and associated with money. Jon makes a good point about it maybe being washed out in the sun on an outdoor sign. But, just looking at it on the screen, I like it best. |

After looking at the logos a few times the round ones give a vaguely Obama vibe, but I'm probably reading too much into it.

I don't like the ones where the guy in the middle is standing. It looks like he's doing some strange dance. I like the top left option the best.

That was my first impression too. Also looked like a logo NBC News used on Earth Day (can't find it, but it was an 'e' where the center bar was extended to form a horizon). I don't like the execution of the table in the square logos at all. The tabletop seems...forced. The button itself actually reminded me of an icon I made for a prospective site redesign though.

The table in the square ones are a definite deal breaker for me. I like the flow of the circle and table in the round ones.

I like the 2nd group in the first post, the table in the first group seems like just pasted there not blending properly. About color... your choice, i wouldn't chose orange myself for a company logo.

The 1st set in post one definitely has the Heil! vibe to it.
The 2nd one, the guy in the center looks like he's breaking it down doing the robot, and the guys on the outside are clapping and chanting Go! Then again, all of these are better than this place around here called Kutlick realty. Every time I see their sign I do a double take and think it says something else. |

If you're looking for a designer who'll charge you a fair price and give you much better quality than those cookie cutter design contest sites that it (appears?) you're using, check out the guy who did the logo for my company sites a few years back.

I still want to know why the designer is insisting that ROUND be highlighted in every case.

Actually, unless I got really confused somewhere along the way, they didn't go with the design bidding site & these are actually coming from specific people/firms they're letting make proposals.

Yes. This. We only used one discount. Now we've used a designer and then the one at the top of this thread was a freebie from a different designer. We're looking more intently on the rings in 8. The designer who did that will be back from a wedding on Mon to pursue its path.

I like the #1 set quite a bit. Tweaking the people a bit to break up the symmetry might help.
It looks like those people in the #2 set are sitting in a big hat. Last edited by Bad-example : 04-24-2010 at 12:02 AM. |

In the first set of logos I like the round versions, and prefer the blue color. I also agree with the comments on the people in the square logos looking like Nazis.
In the second group...I actually like the table with the terrain map but would think it more appropriate to have just the state of Florida (unless you you also offer services into Georgia). If that's the case...then I would do county map views for the areas you cover between FL/GA. |

because Im not the only one making this decision and we're also considering a lot of opinions. When I say 'looking intently' that also means asking the designer to focus their attentions on developing that more as opposed to spending more time in another direction, ie. the table and dots.

I thought this site was pretty interesting for logo designs. You post your design project and how much you'll pay and many different designers try to win the money.
http://99designs.com/ Here's an example of a software company that needed a logo and is paying $295 for the winning entry.

Okay, I like the red logo in the 2nd batch, but I don't like the curved table. If it were straightened out, that may make for a better logo. The 2nd batch in post #1 has a way more professional feel than the other presented.

after all of that, this is what we're going with.
Thanks for all of the input FOFC and here's to the new endeavor and our intended launch 6/1. For me I like that the middle ring is bringing the other two rings together. I think the colors are basic and rich and will look good on a white background and its signage. In B&W it looks good as well.

I like #2 in blue and/or red.
#1 is good too and may actually make it easier on you to put on golf shirts or something that you may wear. The characters are more generic which makes that easier. I like the 2nd logo in #3, although I don't like those colors that much. Has kind of a Caribbean vibe to me. They are all really good though. I don't think you can go wrong with any. |

Congrats on getting a logo! Now just hope that you don't get sued by the Olympics for copyright infringement (I kid, I kid). I think that you picked a good logo that will stand up well over time.
Now, in 250 words or less, what is it that your company will do? How will you differ from a typical real estate agent? I'm still a bit confused on that point. Oh, and really good luck, of course. |
