Version 3

Ahh....not close to what i have envisioned. I want something that says prestigious client focused landscaping. All these seem way to corporate for me. Maybe something a lil more artistic. I eventually would like the logo symbol to be able to represent grassmaster without the name present. I would like to keep the grass present though in an artistic way. I appreciate everyone getting to work on this so fast!

To all designers: I like where offbeat is headed with v. 6. All others are nice, but seem to be a really big corporate type logo. I am a small company, but offer educated, intimate, professional client to owner turf and landscape services. Think of me as the "boutique of lawn and landscape services". I have even thought of changing the name to: GrassMaster and Co. I want customers to think of me as the high end boutique of landscape. I will be offering my personal services to my clients and not a crew of "other" workers through a nationwide company. Hope this helps. I would like to see some revisions with the name. One last hint. Think of seeing my sign on a small boutique where someone that is looking for something exquisite would want to shop. Hope all this helps, and hope I am not being too picky! Thanks!

Nice work guys.... i want to commend everyone on there creativity thus far! I am definately getting plenty of options, and it is making my decision a lil tough at the moment. I like what logoholik has done with version 1 and 1b. I would like to see some variations with the Grassmaster name.....maybe place the & co underneath or something. It seems to run together too much like it is. Also, after scanning some of the projects here I really like what senter is doing with the Bear Creek Mercantile Logo. I know it is maybe a lil different than what I have described, but I am liking that style after looking at it. Thanks!!!!!!!

Thanks for feedback, here are variations of typography placement on concept #1

Wow! That is very nice nhr! All of you guys do awesome work. I have to say though, that I am pretty taken by nhr's version 1. I will still leave this open until the 22nd to see if anyone can come up with any variations. nhr, I really like that alot. If you could generate a few revisions, say....maybe give me a few more looks at swithching that around just for some more options I would appreciate it! Nice work guys!

Very contemporary, upscale, and minimalist logo.
