    The name is: Maier Appraisals
    It is for an offline appraisal company.

    It needs to look professional.

    I would love to see your ideas. I shall defiantly buy one logo. But there is a slight possibility of me buying two ($25 each) if I cannot decide.

    I anticipate your design ideas. :)

    Fascinate me.

    We do real estate, equipment, liquidation, ect.

    A symbol might work better than like a house or something. :)

    Thanks for pointing that out, I had no idea someone had a similar design out there. I'll withdraw my submission & work on something else because theirs is way to close to mine & it seems theirs has been publicized longer than mine. Their's seems to be more pointy & flat while mines more squared & angled, but definitely WAYYYY to similar. :(

    Consider my concept Removed... I'll work on something else shortly :)

    Here's a concept idea
    (I created my first idea 100% from scratch & had no idea someone had a similar design, I can only hope that nobody has something to close to this one too)

    2 similar.... i think is an understatement right down to the top half being a different color... and u just warping the edge so it would be "different"
    My 2cents, but its never worth anything.. lol ( i so wish i was kidding :| )
    GoodLuck, i always love your stuff!

    See its not a big thing to have two logos same or almost same,While designing logo we have no idea about the design is already made or not(there is no way to check the design is taken already) Also i have also made other designs here,have a look on them.I hav won many big contests too..For your infi,i never use reference designs for creating my logos...it was just a coincidence.The design from scorpionagency also seems to be copied,as i said we designers hav no idea abt the concept being copied or anthing like that

    The CH invited me to the thread n now asking me to go back.Thts perfectly fine....Gud luck to all! Thanks

    I agree Clubnokia4u, it is hard to check all 50 Billion+ businesses on the internet to see if maybe someone has a very similar design, especially when you using a basic shapes tool to put them together & make something. I normally do research copyright / trademarks all the time & make sure to help by pointing out possible violations to others. The last thing I would ever want is a client to get into an infringement suit, this would look bad on my 15 years of unique designing & 5 years as a licensed business with a DBA / DUNNS# / & reputable brand. It would make absolutely no since to jeopardize that, so when a question comes into play & 2 pieces of work are similar, I find that the honorable thing to do is withdraw the newest one of the 2 as to not infringe on any ones copyrights / trademarks.

    In the world of design, there are literally thousands of similar works from people who have never met nor ever seen each others work in the past, however, it's also silly to think that a design firm will spend weeks researching copyright / trademark on a design they created from scratch for a $25.00 contest. That kind of research is done for normal rate clients which invest $500.00 to $5,000.00+ into their brand.

    Whilst it saddens me that for the first time in 5+ years I've encountered a design this close to one of mine I honorably removed that concept from consideration & created another one from scratch to replace it. I love participating in these contests & regret that I can't afford to spend the time needed for a thorough trademark research on each & every contest.

    Thanks for understanding everyone.

    I'm not expecting a $5,000 logo for $25. But if a logo looks basically identical as another one then I don't want it. That isn't what I am paying for. Scorpion, yours does look slightly different, that's why I have nothing against you. Yes you could have morphed... but why would anyone take the time to do that instead of use something they already had. So nothing against you.

    But clubnokia4's logo was pretty much the same exact thing and that seemed a tad bit suspicious too me.

    Everything is cool guys. Good work and I will be posting feedback soon. :)
