    Hi everyone...I have a contest that is near and dear to my heart...because its for me! I am going to be doing a redesign of my website very shortly, but I feel I need a logo to start with. My website is o-w-n-t-h-a-t-h-o-m-e.-c-a and my business is mortgage services. (I arrange some graphic items for others on the side, thats why I am on dp).

    Now...its my turn for a logo. You will be dealing with me directly so I can provide feedback quickly and very accurately on the designs I see. I am looking for a vector logo, I want it to look like something that a financial or real estate professional would have.

    The design needs to be clean and simple, but creative and create a feeling of professionalism. Sometimes I think "simple" is the hardest thing to do, and I realize that, and thats why I trust in the abilities of all you talented designers on here.

    Colour scheme...its tough for me to say, you can use your discretion and if I like the logo but not the colours I can let you know. Generally speaking, I am not looking for "bold and bright", I am looking more for softer colours. It should be reversible (look good in black on a white background or in white on a black background), and it needs to be vector.

    Beyond that, feel free to use your creativity.

    I have not built my reputation as high as other contest holders on here as of yet, but I do have a good reputation with a 100% rating. I do my best to pay quickly, and everyone I have dealt with on here would say I do as I say I will do.

    I intend on holding this contest for 3 days, but may be extended if I am unsatisfied with the entries. I would prefer that all entries are posted in the contest thread.

    If you have any questions about this contest, please let me know. Thank you.

    Hi Zyundtel, thanks for entering this contest, its good to see you on here again also.

    jnjnnino-I quite like this logo, it could definitely be under consideration. However if you could find some creative way to fit a logo mark into the font or modify the type in some way to make it fit with a home purchase theme, I would like that also. Also, on another note, I saw your portfolio...I quite liked what I saw with regards to your websites. Do you do wordpress themes?

    EQ2730-I do not believe your design will be a candidate. The idea is pretty original though. Feel free to try another design though if you wish.

    rizzolution-thank you for your entries. I am sorry but its just not what I am looking for.

    zyndtel-I like this design, but my only concern would be that it might not be obvious to everyone that the O is an O, and one thing I cannot have would be people mistaking my web address from the logo I put on promotional materials. If you can find some way to work with that, then I would welcome to revision.

    jnjnnino-I will keep your original design in consideration, I think it is the stronger one.

    Lazlow-I like the first one in particular, it stands out well. Can I see it on a black or coloured background also?

    Mantis-Its not what I am looking for at all, I need a clean simple modern style.

    Hazrd-I really like this design, can you please try showing it in colours also, and can you also show it in a coloured or black background?

    Lazlow-good changes, I like that the h is no longer part of the house and is more balanced. The only thing I don't understand is the crooked ca at the end.

    Rice-the window for the o is quite creative, but I think it is too bold...think more refined, simple, clean, I am not a big fan of 2 tone colours or lettering.
