Logo Required for Cedar Patio Furniture Site

[KEVIN]

(Admin code added by Palmer - J315943W)

Please visit http://www.GoCedar.com. The Vermotion Webhosting System is a user friendly template ready, HTML editor. This means that I must place the logo in the "logo download" area of the Template. The Logo must be placed in the top left hand corner in the space that now reads "GoCedar.com" in black letters. The logo should thus be rectangular shaped, and complement the look and the colors of the site (www.GoCedar.com). I do not wish to restrict your creativity (and I will try to keep an open mind) but I will add these preferences:
-I prefer bright colors (that complement the site) to dark colors
-I prefer simple and obvious to complicated or abstract design (I prefer NOT to have to look closely and try to figure out "what it is")
-a "Better Homes and Gardens" inspired design would be considered favorably
-It should evoke feelings of relaxation, comfort, tranquility
-I prefer to have the website address www.GoCedar.com as part of the logo.
Please feel free to post questions. I will check back regularly and would be happy to answer them.
I am working on a VERY TIGHT DEADLINE. Site is going live at latest Monday/Tuesday next week.
Thank you.

Here's my initial entry. Colors can be changed but I was trying to stay with the overall feel of the site.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks.

And here's how it looks on your site.

A version with the "go" in green.

Hello Kelly: Good job.
May I ask for a few changes:
-Can you flip the chairs to face right?
-Can you try to do something with just an Adirondack Chair (it's hard to figure out what the table is on firt glance!)
Show me more:
Thank you.

Hello Kevin

Here's a revision with the Go in green...

...I've also tightened up the 'kerning' (letter spacing) between the Go and Cedar and removed the wood-effect background.

Hope you like! :)

WOW! This is CLOSE to what I envisioned. Show me some variations. Can you make it wider without spoiling the effect. Remember it's a Banner shaped space that I'm trying to fill (although I obviously don't have to fill the whole space)
Thank you

I really like this Doug. Keep in mind that I cannot change the color of the brush strokes on the right on the template. they are light blue. show me some variations. It's very heavy, try different fonts...a little more subtlety.
Thank you.

Good work, Doug. Although I like the background, I can't use it. If I download it into the Template, it will have a white space between the background edge and the light blue brushtrokes. Show me more.

Hello:
I really like the way it looks on the template. Can you try variations using 3 colors only and the exact colors used on the template: Blue, Grey, Light Blue, Green, etc.
Thank you. I like it...simple, looks good on the template, and complements the overall site. Thank you.

Hello Gilles:
You are definitely on the right track. You undertsand that I have a long, narrow space to fill...and I like what you've done. Show me more.
Thank you

Hi!

I'll add some revisions to my designs as soon as possible :)

Thanks!!

[Virgil]

Hello :)

Here's a new version...so let Adirondack relaxation start ;)

Gilles :D

[Goodhaus]

Hey there Kevin, thanks for your reply. I made the indicated changes as you mentioned. Let me know if any changes are needed. Thank You, Doug. B)

[graphxguy]

Here are some other concepts. I purposely have not designed anything with furniture since almost everyone else is taking that approach. I feel like I would be copying them and I don't want to do that.

Let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks.

[KellyB]

Hi!!

Here are two revisions... with the adirondack chair...

Thanks!!
