I think 1 has the best balance of ethnicity and sophistication, followed by 7. I'd use 7 if the houses were going to be built in a traditional style. 5 would be good for a modern style development because it's uncluttered and conveys the impression of space, hills and sky. I like the cuteness of 6 but it might be a bit frivolous as a corporate logo. 4 reminds me of signs for tourist attractions and could be used if the development had some sort of visitor centre. 3 would be good if there was a lake because Kokopelle's legs below the wavy line plus the sun and blue sky makes me think of seaside holiday brochures. 2 just says "Xara" to me because it uses a classic Xara style. 8 is simple and direct but too neutral for my taste.
