Corporate Logo - Final(?) Version

[stlewis]

This is my final(?) version. I have also redone the house.

Very, very many thanks for all your help. All so polite, quick and positive.
I added this in a new thread because my uploads to the other were too weighty/waity (sorry).

Very nice Simon. I think you came up with a winner.

One suggestion Simon.

Please try a version of the house in white reversing out of the green rectangle with either no circle or just a white outline for the circle.

I think this will increase the elegance factor by 3.78% :-)

Lovely ampersand.

Needless to say I have hit one problem; my (upto date) Epson printer driver (760) cannot handle shadows or transparency over a dark colour - so the shadow has to go for print until someone buys me a better printer.

I've attached a reverse house for you to play with.

How about this - a straight black to green conversion? It is strange comparing it with the black version. This, printed large - using Epson's Panorama paper - 210 x 594mm - has an interesting effect; you find your eye drawn to the house, then across the text and back to the logo, taking the whole thing in. With it all green, the eye does not seem to have the same clear task.

The green line version from Gary (thanks) looks good large but pushed down to 65x65 pixels for my web logo it breaks up.

I'm still getting votes for the black version.

Perhaps I should revert to the black for the web page - as it has more punch at the small size.

More generally, some of the Lessons I Have Learned are:

1. It takes a long time to do a logo, especially if you, your client or both suffer from indecision.
2. Make use of the Named Colours feature of Xara so you can flick the related colours easily.
3. Make use of Layers so you can try different variations easily.
4. If you don't like or haven't got to grips with the Grid, make your own in a Layer: blend two parallel lines to create vertical lines and repeat for the horizontal dimension. You can vary the number of lines and slid the grid to align with particular objects.
5. Use the brains and polite opinions here!
6. Test the logo scaled for web page use, and using your preferred printer in case the drivers cannot cope.

Thanks again to everyone here.
