i'm designing a logo for a real estate agent's group. see below for my first set of concepts. these are the hifi designs, of which once settled upon will derive a simple 2-color version. luckily these all appear to be adaptable to B&W.

which do you like the best? does the first one make sense to you?
thanks for any input!!

Gino

My vote would be number 3, I would also reduce the text under the symbol a bit it seems a little too big compared to the orb.

I like the 1st one a lot but the 3rd one is my favorite as well. I like the overall design and the way the "C" makes out the middle part of the "E". It looks very business like and suits a real estate agent very well I think. I agree with Gino on the text size though. Maybe reduce it slightly and then I think you have a great logo there.

What about the first one without the overall circle, which would allow the top line to run off the top of the logo?

Great designs overall

Agree! The text is a bit too big therefore its competing with the orb. I also really like the second logo. You might try it with solid colors instead of the gradient and maybe a different font for the text.

I think the first one would be better without the circle . . . it seems too constricted, to me . . . and it looks like it was thrown in as an afterthought. It's a solid logo without it.

I like the use of would-be negative space in the second one . . . it makes you look into it a little more, holds your interest. I agree that a change in the font might be in order--something that would make for more interesting negative spaces (we've all heard about the arrow in FedEx)

The third one, though, is my favorite. I agree that the size ratio needs some tweaking, but I'm loving how clean and professional (yet not boring) it is. I bet the client would go for this one based solely on that.

Great job overall!

#3 for me.

With the changes that others have stated already (i.e. reducing the font size of the text underneath)

With whichever you decide, be sure to try a B&W as well as different sizes to make sure the logo will work well on a variety of different things.

Thanks for sharing your logo,
Chris

I like the third the most. It look really cool . Try to add a bit more effect on the text and you've got yourself a great logo there . The first one doesn't seem to be much of a big deal. It's missing something. It's like the text and the circle from behind are not linked.

I'd say either number 3 or number one without the circle and effects

I Liked the first , and you may delete the overall circle and the second part of it, so if u can just keep the text and the first part of the logo, just try it.
