Logo Design Brief
Greetings!
We are a very small residential cleaning company in need of an overhaul of our logo. Basically we want something which takes better advantage of the fun theme of our business, which is a medieval theme - "Clean your Castle without the Hassle!"
Visit our website to get a feel for what we do: www.castle-cleaners.com
1) I want to change from "CastleCleaners" to "The Castle Cleaners"
2) I very much like the font we are currently using but we will definitely keep an open mind to new ideas.
3) As with our current logo, we want a "hybrid modern house/castle". Like if a castle and a modern (relatively attractive upscale) home were to morph together and/or give birth to offspring, what would the result be? We like the house we are currently using but we think it doesn't look quite enough like a castle, or evoke the medieval theme quite enough. We definitely want there to be a cone/flag at the very top - we like that a lot. We would just like some fresh concepts of how the house should look. Of course the castle-house will have "The Castle Cleaners" text incorporated somehow. Other than that, we are wide open on how the house would look, how colorful, how simple vs complex, etc.
4) Colors should be pretty much what they are now, or some very close variations of them. Our colors will remain blue and green.
5) The castle/house should be shining, gleaming, sparkling to show that it is CLEAN and looking glorious and perhaps majestic. But again, should have elements of a modern home at the same time. It should be obvious that it's a hybrid castle/house.
6) Although it's a somewhat playful theme, we'd like it to be as professional as possible, instilling a fun, friendly feeling at the same time. Bright, happy, upbeat, fun, and professional is what we're aiming for.
Updates
I'd like to re-emphasize that what we are mainly looking for is an upgrade to the CASTLE/HOUSE. So far we are favoring designs with a bit more complexity. The logo which strikes that balance between HOUSE and CASTLE best is the one we will decide to use.

We've decided we'd like to use our current font, BENGUIAT, in our new logo. "Castle" text should be green and "Cleaners" should be blue, or vice-versa.

Requirements
Nice to have
- 1) I'd like to experiment with either stacking the text or not. In other words, "The" on top of "Castle" on top of "Cleaners" - we're open to this change if someone can make it look right.
2) Any possible bells and whistles which might reinforce the medieval theme.
