(Admin code added by Palmer - 0DF65861075176746)

Just to give some background: We're a newly formed property management group located in Indianapolis, Indiana. We're looking for a logo to set the tone as we place our mark on the Indianapolis metropolitan area. We're a couple of college fraternity brothers (it's how we came up with Excelsior) looking to purchase, rehab and rent condos/homes that need some TLC. Eventually we'd like to get into bigger things, but we need to get our feet wet first!

What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
Excelsior Property Group

What type of product or service do you offer?
Excelsior Property Group is a rental property management company.

How long have you been in business?
We are a newly formed company.

What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
We're looking for a brandable identity for our property management group. Something simple, yet bold... professional, yet still fun.

What are your long term goals?
To grow our property management firm into one of the largest in the metropolitan Indianapolis area.

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
September 31st, however, we may decide to add more funds and push it back if we like several entries and choose to extend the contest.

What type of logo would you like?
Simple, yet bold... professional, yet still fun. Is that possible?

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
No, we're open. Brand us!

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
If something is used, something to play on Excelsior? An eagle, a knight?

What attributes would you like your logo to reflect about your business?
Bold, fun and professional. I would like our visitors to remember the logo even if they do not choose to rent from us.

What is your tagline or slogan?
We currently do not have one.

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
Rent from us. Please?

Where will your new logo be used?
It will be used on our website and all of our printed material. Business cards, letterhead, maybe some apparel.

Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
You name them. Everyone is renting these days. We really aren't worried about competition though.

List competitive URLs if possible
None that really strike our fancy.

What sets you apart from your competitors?
Nicer places. Nicer people.

Looks like Palmer gave this the thumbs up now... so lets see some designs! Also, if you need any other information or would like to pick my brain in helping you design the logo, feel free to post questions. I'm only quite a bit right now doing initial research and handling the business setup, etc.

A focus on "The Highest Standard". The core meaning of name. :D :D

Everyone: After sitting down with my partner, we have decided that we are looking for something bold and would like to have colors that reflect that. We're looking for the use of red, orange, yellow, etc... something that really makes someone look.

Mediagraph - We like the font and the way Excelsior is the focal point over property group. However, my partner wasn't too fond of the imagery used in the logo.

Senter - I think the same goes as went for Mediagraph. I think we're wanting something other then a stylized E for the imagery used.

nhr - Interesting concept but it was tough for us to understand what exactly the Ex are supposed to make. If we're confused, I'm assuming our customers would be, too. I think we want to have an image aside from the text, if an image is used at all.

I will be getting with my partner to get some feedback. Will have something posted shortly.

Mediagraph: Can you change the logo to the different color requirements?

We don't quite have feedback yet, but after discussing, we'd also like to see some logos without the use of any imagery. We've looked at some other design projects and saw some impressive stuff when no logo is involved, ie, the Penn South project.

We'd like you to key on the word Excelsior, obviously. Anyone game?

I apologize for the lack of feedback but my partner's baby girl has been sick and he has been out for awhile. As soon as he's back in, we'll have something for you.

Sorry, due to circumstances with my partner and his family, we were not be able to go into business as originally planned.

Palmer can award the money to whom he sees fit. After four projects here, I'm disappointed how this was handled when I contacted the staff here and I'll be taking my next design projects elsewhere from now on.

Excelsior sorry to hear that. I hope all is well.

Actually, I changed my mind. Since I paid for it, I should get something out of it. I selected Senter's design, the Excelsior logo with a sword running through the text. Thanks all.

Thanks for selecting my design. I will package the files for you. If you could send me a private message with your email address I will send the files there for you.
