http://www.lawnsite.com/showpost.php?p=1754396&postcount=5 I like this one the way the green and black colors mesh and the different green shades on the clover.

Targeted Message:
State a single-minded word or phrase that will appropriately describe your company:
"Quality and dependability"

Here is another idea. Click the link, then scroll down the page. I am referring to the logo with the grasshopper............ http://www.lawnsite.com/showpost.php?p=964514&postcount=1
This one I like, except for the blue color. I like the way the green grasshopper and blades of grass silhouette against the orange/yellow sun

This is going in the right direction Deanna! I like the top one best with the darker orange. I'm not too crazy about the color of the font on "lawn & Property, LLC" Maybe change it up to something else...Thanks :)

I'm looking forward to seeing some ideas from various designers. Surely you can come up with something!

Deanna, Can you make the "grasshopper" font outlined with green/lime green and filled in with black also. Please refer to message #2 "my favorite" to see what I'm talking about. Also, can you make the orange sun a little more orange? Thanks......

It's Not quite there. It just doesn't look right. I love the idea, though, but colors don't seem right. The gray font is not catching me. V2 top sun is good. Maybe try a flouresent green or something instead of the lime. Also, can you change how the word "***" is right in the middle of the sun lol. The sillouhetted grass is good, but I think maybe a little shorter. Can you try in these colors here in this link too? http://www.lawnsite.com/showpost.php?p=1745813&postcount=1


Thanks............ sorry to be so picky, but the logo I end up going with will be on trucks and trailers eventually for the public to see.....

Titania, I'm liking the top logo in V1. Can you make the "Lawn & Property, LLC" a bit bigger, and try a font with sharper edges?? Also, can you make the sun a little bigger? Thanks...

Hi Deanna, I like V3 top logo. Can we try it with the black font outlined with green from V2, but make the green more flourescent. Also bring up the H just a tiny bit higher as it almost looks like an N. That should be close to what I'm looking for...Thanks.....

Titania, I'm really liking Version 02, the top logo! One thing: can you change the color of the grasshopper to a green that will match with everything? In black, I think it looks more like an ant....Thanks :) I'm thinking that the grasshopper green, be a bit more flourescent than the blade of grass green... I'm not sure it will match, but I'd like to see what you come up with........Looking forward to seeing your revision

Titania

Thanks skyvee! I like the font..

05-15-2007, 06:52 PM
Deanna, I'm really leaning toward going with your V2 top logo, message #13. The font is fine! Here is what I'd like to see revised: Capitalize the G, Move the sun to the left so it doesn't center the word "a*s".
Please look at the logo at this link: http://www.lawnsite.com/showpost.php?p=1690213&postcount=17
The exact colors I want to use for the font and for the sun are shown on the logo at this link. Please use a darker green outline around the black font and also reduce the shadow like in the link too. Please make the sun more orange with yellow also shown exactly as the sun in the link. Lastly, would be to make the font black for "Lawn & Property, LLC"
That's it!!!! That's what I'm looking for....Thanks for your patience

Thanks Relevant, but I'm really leaning towards Deanna's top logo V2 style logo with some revisions. Thank you so much for your time, it is appreciated :)

Titania, It's down to you and Deanna! I'd like to ask you to try something different with the font colors.
Take a look at Deanna's post #13 Version 2, top logo. Can you incorporate something like that into the logo? Only a little darker green outlining the black font, like in this logo: http://www.lawnsite.com/showpost.php?p=1690213&postcount=17
That would be perfect, as I love your style logo, but I'm not feeling it with the orange yellow font colors Thanks for your patience :)

Titania, your V4 looks good, but can you have the darker green color only around the black font and make the darker green outline thinner. Again, the link I have in message #28 shows exactly what I'm after. Notice how in that logo, the green outline is thin and it seems to have a just a slight bit of a grey shadow to give a 3D look. If you have to make the grasshopper black again or the same shade green as the grass to accomplish this, that'll be fine.
The black and white is great btw! I'm just looking to get the colors right. Thanks so much!

I'd like to thank everyone for participating. Thanks to Deanna, I know you took some time going over revisions with me. I love your design, but I'm going to go with Titania's as it's a little more what I'm looking for. Thanks very much for your time :)

05-17-2007, 04:14 PM
Titania, Can you make a few spikes of grass over the ss in grasshopper similar to Deanna's V4? That should complete it! Thanks so much for your patience :)
