$60 Logo Contest

[tgotch]

In the process of a site redesign, and need a great logo!

Here is the old site:
houseboatingworld.com

Here is a copy of the beta site:
mvpgps.com (this will all be moved to houseboatingworld.com domain once finished)

Please design the logo to match mvpgps format/colors.

336x66
png, psd format

I will pay via Paypal.

I plan on launching the site around 4/15, so I would like to have all entries by then.

I like the "World's Largest Houseboat Community" tagline, but "all new" is not needed. I would also like a houseboat to appear in the logo if possible(but not mandatory).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the entries:

xxx - HBW is just a little to vanilla for me
KevinChristman - good attempt. I am not real sold on the houseboat artwork though - looks kinda cheap.
ATF - This looks pretty good, although the boat is more of a cruiser than a houseboat...can you liven it up?
Istvan - looks good also. again the artwork is more of a cruiser than a houseboat. can you liven up the name, and use a diff. artwork
Tropica - not bad, just a little plain...
Retzseo - interesting take. I like the motion of v2. Any variations. It's just not quite there for me...I don't know, maybe the wording on the side of something that looks like a houseboat...

If anyone needs direction, look here
houseboatingworld.com - the artwork of the houseboat, is how it should look.

My members are pretty feisty when it comes to cruisers vs. houseboats, so having a cruiser (boat) on a houseboat site wont go over well.

Still looking for the "WOW" logo, not seeing it yet...

Looks good.
Can you maybe add the image below, but make it match the colors you have?
