    Attached are 2 submission ideas that I really like!!! But both need something added to incorporate and display indication of "ARMY" element. Maybe the girl could be wearing "army fatigues uniform". Or maybe the word "Army" could be in an "army uniform fatigues" font/pattern. I don't know just throwing out ideas in my head! Be creative. So remember, the logo needs to incorporate both an "eco-friendly" element mixed together with an "Army" element. I'm not a graphic designer so maybe my ideas are no feasible. I don't know. Be creative! Be original!!!

    Also, instead of emailing me your submissions....just send all submissions to me here via "PRIVATE MESSAGE"!!!

    Here are couple more good logo concepts. I like to see these modified to be enveloped in a semi-circle on top or bottom or be encapsulated in a box like the logo samples I posted in my last 2 posts and like you see used in last 2 logo samples in this post.

    Also, I NEED to see more submissions that contain at least 3 or more female characters. Why??? Because this this alludes to a labor force like an army.

    Great job so far everyone. I am really digging the design submissions that have a maid character (or characters) in it. I think the character(s) will be awesome for branding. I would like to see more submissions that contain maid characters standing in groups of 3 or more in some sort of formation (working or saluting or standing next to cleaning gear, whatever). But I like to see more logos with maid 1 or more characters. 3 or more maids is also great because this gives the impression of an "ARMY" of workers. REMEMBER: Think eco-environment and army!!!

    NOTE: I've decided to extend the contest til Saturday @ 6pm!!! Keep em comin'!!!

    Attached are 2 more good concepts. Look closely and notice how they both reference an eco-friendly cleaning service as well as makes a reference to Army. #Notice how the one logo has the center maid holding in her arms eco-friendly cleaning products!!! EXCELLENT! The 2 maids standing in formation behind her gives a reference to a soldier like cleaning work force (army). The other logo is simple in design but yet excellent in that it also gives reference to an eco-environment friendly cleaning services by the green/blue color its uses and also the leaf inside the letter "O" and this logo also gives reference to an Army by showing the maid standing firmly and saluting like a solider! Both these concepts are very good. But I know there are some of you out there that can even do better!!! REMEMBER: Thing environment-eco friendly & army!!! Both elements need to be nicely presented and included in your submitted. The logo needs to appeal to a 28 - 38 year old demographic that is eco-environment conscious!!! Go back and read my other posts in this thread for more clues and suggestions. Keep the submissions comin'!

    A few more hours left before the contest closes. Attached are the last great submissions! I'd like to see everyone present similar ideas to these or maybe something even better. Logo #3 below is my favorite among this bunch, so if you can create and submit something similar or better that would be awesome.

    Also I would like to see more submissions similar logos #3 and #4 that I presented in post #7 above.

    Come on! I've decided to bump the winner's prize from $40 up to $60!!! Let's see what you got!
