Homesthetics.net is a website about architecture art and design, with a logo launched in 2012, 11 years old logo that looks extraordinarily old and boring, and we are looking into simplifying it and making it flat (possibly not mandatory) so it can be easier to use in various graphics like banner and such.
You can find the live logo on www.homesthetics.net and the "short" version of the logo here: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=802438943135090&set=a.619420653558876
We would very much like to keep a simplification of a "home" or "house" in the logo, for the logo to feel like a progression of the actual logo, not a massive change.
The words "Architecture Art & Design" can go, as they clutter, so can the extension ".net" but again, not a mandatory decision.
If it helps, the font used initially is Brandon Grotesque if I remember correctly.
