Lose the MY, EVERYONE keep in mind I only have the MY because I could not get the URL without it. I also prefer the one without anything around the star. But as a whole still looks a little too plain. Maybe add some gloss or bevel, or emboss. Also you never said what dimensions am I looking at on this concept example?
and this one with some small emboss and shadow. http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5916/home2oq.png its 177px height. hope you like it now
naathans, Leave this as-is and the one on imageshack. I also kind of like your other entry, so feel free to keep trying. Still nothing I am totally in love with yet. Be sure to read my feedback to others and to all. I like that your coming up with different ideas and not getting tunnel vision.
Cbrown. Don't like the dead tree Might be good for a seasonal header. Also too much white space in the middle. Too bold on the tagline. Lose the roof liked it better in without in the one you sent via PM. Be sure to check the ones that have caught my eye and other feedback. Thank you for your entry.
Misterbadz, It's not exactly what I was looking for but it is starting to grow on me. I like the 2nd one most so try this on it for me. 1. Make the star smaller by about 30% The top of it should stay where it is so scale from that point. 2. lighten inside the circle just a small bit and try to give it some gloss. 3. lower all the text physically so it is almost aligned with the circle. Add Jay Myers where you have my, keep the script font or try some others and then put it on an angle of maybe 25% - 30% even if you have to lower the font sizes on all text. What is the height of this one at this point? By the way love the stuff you were doing for Sonoma Web thing.
DrAmA9url, I like it but it kind of looks political or like a government office header. This isn't entirely bad if I was running for office. Try changing the color of the background under the star, and dress up the denton county. Keep trying if you would like, the good news is I don't hate it.
jhaye, Don't like the slanted house or star. Too plain. Font is very similar to what is on there now.
naathans, Too close to misterbadz concept going to give him the chance to adapt his. Make sure you don't delete your other source files. and keep trying if you would like. I still have not seen a 1st place winner yet, but if designers are will I think I am going to do a 2nd AND 3rd place.
puttu, Thank you for your entry. Don't like this nearly as much as the one we discussed before. I see where your going but doesn't match my personality. Please try again if you would like but take note of these things. 1. Drop the Customer Satisfaction... 2. Real estate is 2 words 3. Try to integrate agents name in a concept. 4. just don't like solid colored backgrounds, or at least none I have seen. This site will always have a white background. So unless something is bordered most likely won't like it. I really hope that sketch is a pre-made one, because i hate to think you had drawn all that and I didn't like it
To All: What I would love to see is more of a logo for the name Jay Myers Code (markup): and Denton County Real Estate. I thought for sure someone would come up with some way to use the "My" by now, or use the J and M in some kind of logo. Remember I want to eventually use this on business cards and t-shirts and postcards. So some kind of logo is really needed Also, don't be stuck with the same blue and red, I just said I tend to be drawn to it, I am not as creative as you designers so if you know better - try it out. I think everyone is getting tunnel vision by misterbadz first concept and I said I liked the colors. I think I am giving a lot of feedback compared to other threads I watch so if I am not saying the right things let me know. If you want more information let me know. If I am being too demanding let me know. But I think $30 for 1st place and an undecided for 2nd and 3rd is pretty good compared to how hard i see the artist work on other threads for less, correct me if I am wrong. Also keep in mind I am going to need some other graphics and hoping to always refer to 2 or 3 of you in the future instead of always holding a contest. We still have more than 30 hours so please keep the entries coming in, and I have not seen anything I am totally in love with yet...just some crushes.
