Great Outdoors Landscaping needs a logo! We are located in Atlanta, Georgia specializing high-end Design, Installation, and Maintenence of Landscapes. We want a logo that will go on business cards, forms, and vehicles. We are fairly open to designs. Just something with class and style. Thank you.

[GreatOutdoors]

The idea of having hills and a stream in the logo has been suggested by someone in the company.

Lets see what the last one looks like without the sun just to make it simpler. Thanks

[GreatOutdoors]

Sorry for the run-around djaka, but I think I like your first one the best (the top one on message 13 and the black and white one with it). So I choose you and am ready to move forward.

That looks great! Thanks djaka. It was hard chooing between your revisions. Can you send me the files for these last 2 and the ones in message 25? I really like them both and I'm sure that the simplified one will be cheaper on business cards and such. Thanks again!
