Logo Design Brief
I need a logo using my name to help brand myself in all the real estate marketing I do and will be used on business cards, web sites, note cards, email signature, letterhead, envelopes, and signs. The design should be simple, confident, and easily used in all these facets. My name is what I'm promoting yet I don't want it to overpower the homes I'm selling.
I am open to a small graphical element to the design but don't want picture/logo to dominate. I want my name to be the logo. I like the design (but don't want to replicate) the logo of one of my colleagues: www.aschein.com
I have attached a pdf of a 2' x 3' sign that I have used to promote listings. This will give you an idea of colors and style. I'm open to these colors being "tweaked" if you have suggestions.
Updates
I like the designs that have my first and last name side-by-side, not stacked on top of each other. Also, those that have caught my eye thus far are very simple with a good font and one creative element - not trying to do too much.
